2022 Acura MDX Prototype

Acura has dubbed the 2022 MDX “its most ambitious redesign ever,” and Sioux Falls auto enthusiasts should be excited. Although our favorite luxury brand hasn’t shared many details about the exterior design, we do know it will be taking styling cues from the new-look TLX with similarly-shaped headlamps, Chicane™ LED taillights, and a pronounced Acura logo gracing the front grille. Additionally, the MDX Prototype shows an SUV that is lower, wider, and longer, which should translate to even larger interior dimensions than before.

Let’s start with what we don’t know. It’s unclear whether or not there will be any new trim levels joining the Technology Package, Entertainment Package, Advance Package, and A-Spec Package, but we will be seeing a host of new features. What we do know at this time is the same, precision-crafted MDX performance will come from available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD), comfort will still come by way of three rows of seating, and safety will be covered via the AcuraWatch™ suite of technologies. Below is a list of new features and amenities inside the redesigned 2022 MDX:

• Multi-mode front-seat massage functionality
• Wider and lower instrument panel for increased driver visibility
• Authentic, open-pore wood
• Hand-wrapped leather with French stitching
• Next-generation Acura sport seats
• Curvilinear quilting in all three rows
• Gradient perforation with high-contrast stitching and piping
• Acura Precision Cockpit™ all-digital driver’s meter
• Ultra-wide full-HD center display
• 25-speaker “Signature Edition” ELS Studio 3D^® premium audio system with integrated LED ambient lighting
