I wish for a hybrid as well. When we got this one (a-spec) as a service loaner for a few days, the fuel economy was not any better, if not worse, than our old 3.7L 2010 MDX. Maybe I should have done an ecu reset by disconnecting the battery because so many other people had driven it but it wasn’t our car and I didn’t want to mess with it. Unfortunately Acura standard canned response is that they will skip over hybrids and go straight to EV after this generation cycle… and in today’s softening car market for the latter, I have my doubts 😔

@@Fabulousprofound168 Yah. We were at the Mercedes dealer last year shopping and the dealer huffily stated when we asked about a plug in hybrid (which they sell in Europe but not here) that "nobody is buying those" and that "Mercedes is committed to full EV". So we left. Now they changing course like many others. With battery tech advancing like it is I see no reason to spend money on a full EV that will be next to worthless in a few years. We have a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV that is 5-6 years old and it's great for our use - can go EV day to day but still travel long range without a problem.

Acura had a quality Sport Hybrid MDX 2018-2020. They got caught up concentrating on an EV version ZDX ... which will Fail like all the others. Nobody wants them. I have a 22 MDX Advance, which is a terrific SUV and has been touble free for 3 years. If Acura produced a Sport Hybrid new redesigned MDX - OMG, what a Winner that would have Been!! More HP & Torque than the standard 3.5L engine (like mine) but with 20% better MPGs !! No Brainer in every way. And like ion 2018 - only about $1800 more. If Acura had a 25 Sport Hybrid version, I would be trading Up to that with my lease expiration in August. Now, I will extend my lease (Acura Financial is allowing me up to 6 months at my current monthly of $610) to January. Then I will either buyout the MDX for the $35,500 needed (my MDX will have only 21K miles on it) or look to lease another 25 MDX Advance (or a Type S , but the MPGs forces resistance). I'm really liking the new Refreshed MDX - especially with a new InfoT. system getting rid of the TTIP. FWIW, The SH-AWD is one of, if not The best in the Business.

Probably that means a straight 4, making room up front for a substantial electric motor and maybe even some battery. Series hybrid is also a viable option, but that requires more battery and bigger motors and crippling the highway speed is not an option.

@@ShaiyanHossain guaranteed if they do, it’ll be a 4-popper turbo hybrid that amazingly will make more hp and torque than the current standard N/A V6, just to make you feel like you’re getting something better.

Again Honda/Acura spoils a perfectly good car with ridiculous, cheap looking, reflective, dirt-displaying, shiny-black plastic. Is there a tonneau cover to protect your stuff from prying eyes? If so, how much does it cover. All SUVs should cover from the ‘second’ row, back.

@@ShaiyanHossain yup. But the potential buyers of this are far more likely to change their minds and go to something more ecofriendly than truck purchasers. We're literally killing our planet these days....2024 will be by far the hottest year ever, and we're just whistling past the graveyard with 19mpg crap like this.

And 0-60 in 6 seconds isn't even that quick to take the penalty. If this was in the high 4's, then sure. But 6? Yawn.

FWD-based AWD is better than RWD-based AWD on snow and ice. In winter, the majority of the vehicle weight is best over wheels with the most power.

SH-AWD is the closest thing you can get to rear wheel biased in a FWD-based AWD. On snowy or gravel roads, I can easily hang the ass end out in mine, but forget about it in my sisters Pilot.

Everyone fanboys for hybrid tech until their hybrid car has a MGU or battery pack fail outside of warranty. Have fun shelling out thousands for that replacement. Don't forget that Acura also builds these for the customer that plans on owning for 10+ years. Not only for the lease-only customer. The fact that Acura can still build these as non-hybrid and still satisfy the increasingly stricter emissions regulations is impressive.

I’ve never understood the mindset of some car shoppers. It’s this thing I really don’t like about the vehicle, and I probably will have a difficult time living with the feature (the touchpad), but I’m buying the car anyway. 🤷🏽♂️ Did these Acura shoppers test drive the car first?

Tx flirts with Escalade, it doesn’t compete with mdx
@AAutoBuyersGuide
Ай бұрын
Uh, tell Lexus and Acura that LOL. Lexus said it was designed to compete directly with Acura MDX. It’s considerably smaller and less expensive than an Escalade. Lexus LX is the body on frame SUV designed to compete with SWB Escalade.

@@AAutoBuyersGuide let's think about this. A tiny 3 row from a luxury brand. Any other Lexus fit that bill? The mdx is so small it's a 2+5 seater, even in the second row your legs aren't on the seat and your knees are in the air. It's a comfortable 2 seater only. Go to your own size chart for it's actual competition
