timing chain vs. belt

Does the new MDX have a chain or belt? Also, anyone compare the 2021 Highlander with the new MDX?

Timing belt with a 7 year or 105,000 miles change interval. Don't know about the Type-S 3.0T if that has a chain or belt.

You can read the review of the 2020 Highlander (pretty much same as 2021 model) from Car an Driver here:

And here's one for the 2022 MDX:

When it comes to driving, the MDX wins hands down. The MDX is also slightly faster, has more features, nicer inside, etc. It also appears that the MDX's third row is bigger.
