Sofyan will be doing a comparison between the XT6 and MDX tomorrow. I’m not sure if he’s releasing the video tomorrow or if he’s going to be shooting the video tomorrow and waiting till the embargo is up to release the video.

I liked the quick review. I did notice things like the option to adjust the height of the rear hatch with the button on the hatch (wife is 4'11"). Very limited review of features to make me want to upgrade from my current 19 MDX Adv. I wish he went into more details like:
- new Acurawatch features
- additional seat controls
- wide view of new dash design
- test out Carplay and ELS system
- show key fob operation
- does this model have the wave your foot under rear bumper to open rear hatch
- show us the operation of the pano sunroof
- more pics of entire dash and L/R doors (I'm assuming only the Type-S have memory passenger seats)
- location of the spare (or if it has or can have a spare)
- 360 degree exterior walk around
- new Acurawatch features
- additional seat controls
- wide view of new dash design
- test out Carplay and ELS system
- show key fob operation
- does this model have the wave your foot under rear bumper to open rear hatch
- show us the operation of the pano sunroof

I rented a crossover Caddy once and didn't like it. Brakes were squishy but the interior was not bad.
Thanks for getting this rolling, Tony!

Very impressive product by Acura. These initial reviews are very promising. For the first time, I can say Acura has put some much attention to detail that it put Lexus to shame. If it's not superior than the Germans but it's at par for sure.
BUT IT MIGHT FAIL TO IMPRESS SOME OF THE MEBERS HERE, IT WON'T BE FAST ENOUGH. 0-60 WON'T BE 4 SECONDS LMAO!

The new MDX continues the trend that the third row of crossovers is really only suitable for kids or short adults.
Not having functional air vents in the front (merely decorative) reminds me of all the bike reflectors Acuras used in vehicle rears of the past. Not quite 100% premium.

On paper, the third row of the Caddy should have been tighter than in the MDX. However, as Sofyan demonstrated, the real world shows the MDX third row to be tighter than the Caddy. I'm guessing that's how the MDX was able to increase it's trunk space with the third row up (nothing comes for free).

Man - the Caddy's exterior isn't bad but interior is horrible. Also in terms of sales we cannot compare. Acura sold 50K units last year with a 7 year old model and Caddy sold like 22K units as per Sofyan. No comparison tbh!

No question concerning sales. I was a fairly happy MDX owner during the lease. Not missing the poorer fuel economy though. I'm currently averaging about 25 mpg on my TLX!

You might be surprised to learn that my TLX AWD A-Spec is only 250 lb lighter than the 2018 MDX AWD w/Tech that I returned. My TLX A-Spec is actually slightly heavier than a 2013 E350 4MATIC I used to have!

Another reason for Acura to bring back the hybrid option for the sedans and SUVs. I average 24-26 in my MDX 321hp/4400lbs hybrid and 28-29 for my 377hp/4300lbs RLX hybrid. I love the new interiors; but, I don't want to take a step backwards on mpgs, hp/tq, and performance (less hp/tq loss at 5000-7500 feet with electric power).

Finally, the MDX gets peasant blockers for the 2nd row!

I know what the reviewer said but third row passengers have no control over 2nd row adjustability once the 2nd row locks in place. It's a safety issue.
This was how it was in my 2018 MDX and how it also is on my 3-row 2016 GL450.

This is a bit slower than a 2019 MDX AWD A-Spec:

Like the TLX, I'm sure additional heft has quite a bit to do with it. The MDX hybrid will hold the speed crown for now until the Type S is out.

At the 20:11 timestamp, he performs a 0-60. I clocked ~6.5 sec for this MDX A-Spec.

Of course, the cynical way to looking at it is that they can't give it a more powerful engine because they need to create separate between this and the Type-S, if the 355bhp figure is accurate.

Best parts of Joe's video:
- Reversible cargo area
- Removing the 2nd row center console can give 3rd row passengers possible leg room
Most disturbing part of Joe's video:
Joe's Twinkies expire in 2054! I'm glad my Twinkies days are over!

I must say I'm envious of the following MDX-exclusives:
- Alexa-capable
- Wireless CarPlay/AA
- Passenger seating memory (even on the A-Spec, which my TLX A-Spec doesn't have).

Interested to see if the MDX Advance will also get the same nice faux brushed metal material for the center console area that the TLX Advance gets. I just noticed from these videos that all the other trim levels (for both the MDX and TLX) appear to get some cheaper looking matte greyish/blackish plastic instead of the nicer looking stuff.

The TLX Advance trim center console material you're looking for is not present.

Oh that's a bit of a bummer. I really like the nicer material on the TLX Advance. I'm surprised since the MDX Advance is supposed to be the top trim of the flagship model.
#38
The MDX Type S will have the following exclusives:
- Quilted massaging seats
- An even more powerful ELS sound system (something like 1000 watts)
I'm sure the list is longer but that's all I remember from memory from its Dec debut.
The MDX Advance is not even close to top dog in features when you discount the engine.

Miles quoted a 7.0 second 0-60 in the description. In the past, Miles said he doesn't measure it himself but rather quotes whatever the Acura rep tells him (which tends to be quite conservative). For the TLX 2.0T he was quoted a 6.5 second time and in reality it was established to be a 5.7 to 5.9 second car. So the MDX should do 0-60 in the mid-6's (or slightly quicker), which is what you'd expect with the 3.5L + 10-speed pairing that we saw in the Odyssey (~4500lbs, 0-60 in 6.5 seconds).
