1. Great video

2. Nice car, but…Doesn’t have descent control, no digital backview mirror(( badly surprised with that price level( not real captain chairs with no arm rests( why not use armrest from Odyssey 2-nd row seats?
   One more wish- 2nd row central part could have fracture line higher, so that it was higher when folded and worked as a real armrest

3. Who is buying these expensive vehicles?! Is everyone rich or just in debt?

4. Looks exactly like a Mazda. An expensive Mazda.

5. Good car boring looks like most Honda products…too bad

6. You can get an Explorer ST for 20K less and it won't suck fuel like the MDX. The MDX does have some suspension tricks, though.

7. Ever since Toyota went 4-cyl hybrid, the mdx is now the only reliable 3-row out there

8. Great sport SUV, not a great trail SUV – 95% of owners won't even drive it on a dirt road 🚘 Honda DNA is more practical then German SUV for long term ownership

9. Hard choice but I chose the xc90 plug in. The extra 150hp and electric only mode won me over

10. I’ll take a loaded cx90 and pocket the 12 grand I saved

11. Way overpriced! 355hp isn’t that great and that center console looks cheap and ridiculous

12. The second row seats slide back 3 inches from where you had yours, which was fully forward. That’s important.

13. I would love to drive one but damn 77k i think they enter in price range where is a lot of options. Personally me i was on market for 3 row, end up buying Subaru Ascent it’s well equipped best AWD on market and price is 30k less 🫰👌

14. 1:20 $77k for a FWD based AWD Acura (60/40 weight distribution)😅
    8:00 Drop in sales
    11:00 Launch is OK
    14:00 Off-road

    Should’ve kept RDX and offered hybrid and type S options, while keeping MDX luxury only.

15. Acura needs to get rid of the third row and make massive trunk space. Those are useless seats

16. Poor mpg on premium gas. Old tech. BMW, Lexus, Audi or even Genesis alternatives are superior. History of transmission issues. Exterior design is old. MDX does not have the cache of its rivals for the price.

17. Other than it’s a lot more luxurious

18. Wtf with these big body to wheel gap that cars are bringing lately!? It looks horrible!

19. If a tree falls on the road, does anybody hear?

20. Where can I get a Driving Sports baseball cap?

21. Thanks for the update. Please consider adding a test of the "active safety features." In particular how well the lane centering and active cruise controls work.

22. Fun forest->massage seats->off-road mode…😂

23. $77k for this…Acura? Good lord. The Japanese are pricing their vehicles insanely these days. They all are, but especially the Japanese. A bmw and Mercedes looks like a bargain when compared to this Acura!

    Thanks, Ryan, for taking this Acura off the pavement and showing what it can do. A lot of other channels won’t do that.

24. That Honda S2000 tach in sport mode is as precious as the fake gated shifter in modern Ferraris.

25. Disappointed that Acura/Honda elected to remove SiriusXM satellite radio from their vehicles. Using phone and Car Play doesn’t work that well because of spotty reception issues. Bad move. Acura occasionally does stupid things like this.

26. Question for you Ryan.
    What’s more satisfying,the feel and sound of a 3 L Turbo kicking in or instant acceleration with an electric motor with no sound ?
    Sure,we know EV’s can go fast (some are limited to 99 mph),but what other satisfaction do they give you ?
    In 40 years time someone will lovingly restore this Acura as a satisfying hobby.
    What fun would you get restoring an EV ?
    I’ll say.
    None.
    And when will you test a Buick ?

27. Not an off roader; except, on my way to dirt trails for hiking or eMTB riding. Not enough improvement with the +22 MDX to trade in my 321hp 19 MDX Adv Sport Hybrid with 450 mile range and 25-27 mpgs always.

28. IF youre spending 77k on this whats stopping you from a GV80 SPORT ADVANCED?! OR at that price point money isn't an option so for less than 10k more you can get a GV80 SPORT PRESTIGE BLACK ALSO with 10y 100kmi warranty lol

29. Acura can’t hold up yo Lexus these days.

30. I would spend another $9,000 to get a Lexus GX 550 Overtrail plus.

31. i got 47 MPG in the 2026 woodland hybrid rav 4 driving 330 miles in colorado on I-70 to I-25, paid 42695.00

32. кузов красивый .решетка уродливая

33. 355 hp for 77+ no sir

34. 80k, they lost their minds
