The overview

Redesigned for 2022, the MDX remains a functional three-row luxury SUV that's priced lower than German competitors. The standard 290-hp V6 engine is slick and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, a powertrain that works well. Fuel economy is 20 mpg overall. The ride is comfortable and handling is secure but pretty mundane. The front seats are wide and supportive, and the interior is well made. The rear seat's midsection is removable, which creates an aisle to the third row. The biggest knock against the MDX is the infotainment system's reliance on a finicky touchpad to interact with the screen; we found it very distracting to use, forcing long glances away from the road. 2025 models got an easier-to-use touchscreen that replaces the touchpad system. The MDX comes with a full suite of active safety features, including FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, RCTW, LKA, LDW, LCA, and ACC.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
