The 2022 Acura MDX reviews are in and everyone is singing the praises of this award-winning SUV — from auto experts to South Dakota drivers. Where do we even start? Handling was given a boost thanks to a brand new chassis and suspension. Both the exterior and interior were restyled to give the MDX an even more bold and sophisticated look. And the cabin now boasts more technology than ever before to keep Minnehaha County well connected to the outside world when behind the wheel. But that MDX release date back in February of 2021 was only the beginning. The second (and perhaps more exciting) chapter of this new redesign story is still to come and it’s titled the Acura MDX Type S.
MDX will be the first SUV to receive the Acura Type S treatment, which will combine the SUV’s practical features with unbridled power and exclusive styling.

Ride along with Vern Eide Acura in Sioux Falls as our staff takes a look at the MDX Type S interior, colors, performance, release date, and pricing.
What colors will the 2022 Acura MDX Type S come in? Although the automaker has been tight-lipped about the exterior of this upcoming SUV release, we’re expecting to see many of the usual suspects like Fathom Blue Pearl, Liquid Carbon Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Majestic Black Pearl, Performance Red Pearl, Phantom Violet Pearl, and Platinum White Pearl. One thing we can confirm, however, is a new 2022 MDX Type S color called Tiger Eye Pearl that will also be featured on the TLX Type S.
What can Sioux Falls drivers expect under the hood of the 2022 MDX Type S? When it comes to performance technology, Acura will always look to its NSX supercar and this racetrack-inspired SUV is no different. While the 2022 Acura MDX Type S will retain the original model’s 10-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters, the Type S SUV will pack a new 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 engine capable of generating up to 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Not only that, but the 2022 MDX Type S will also come standard equipped with Acura’s revolutionary Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), which provides extra traction during South Dakota’s ugliest winter weather conditions as well as dry pavement cornering.
What is the release date for the 2022 Acura MDX Type S? Although the luxury automaker is yet to make an announcement, the auto experts at Car and Driver expect a release date of summer 2021.

How much will the 2022 MDX Type S cost? Again, no official MSRP has been released by Acura; however, with a new turbocharged engine, premium materials throughout the cabin, and an upgraded audio system (just to name a few), the good folks at CarIndigo estimate the 2022 Acura MDX Type S price will come in slightly above the SUV’s Advance Package at around $65,000 or so.
