REFINED, TECH-FORWARD, SPACIOUS, ONE-OWNER, OFF-LEASE, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, LUXURY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! When Acura rebuilt the MDX from the ground up for 2022, it gave its three-row flagship a new platform, a more sophisticated suspension, and a cockpit organized around big digital displays. This 2022 Acura MDX with the Technology Package, finished in Liquid Carbon Metallic and hovering just over the 50,000-mile mark, shows how well that redesign was aimed at families who want the daily drive to feel like a small occasion. The Technology Package is what separates this one from a base MDX: a full-color head-up display, 20-inch wheels, and an interior lighting system that lets the cabin's mood follow the drive. Add a one-owner, no-accident history, an off-lease background, and factory powertrain protection that still has time and miles remaining, and this MDX makes an easy case for itself. Why Shoppers Buy This Model Since its debut for the 2001 model year, the MDX has been the Acura that families reach for when a sedan stops being enough but a truck-based SUV is more vehicle than they want. It drives smaller than it looks, seats up to seven, and wraps that practicality in the quiet, well-finished cabin and precise road manners that Acura built its luxury reputation on. As the luxury division of Honda, Acura brings a level of everyday engineering polish that shoppers notice long after the new-car excitement fades. The 2022 redesign sharpened every one of those strengths. Acura reports 32 percent greater torsional stiffness in the body structure, which gives the suspension a firmer foundation to work from, and it introduced a double-wishbone front suspension to the MDX for the first time. A smooth V6 and a 10-speed automatic transmission handle the propulsion, a removable center second-row seat makes third-row access easier, and an expanded under-floor cargo area behind the third row keeps the back of the vehicle useful even with every seat in place. Front-wheel-drive versions are rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Autotrader's review of the redesigned 2022 MDX described a ride that lands between firm and comfortable, with the new double-wishbone front suspension absorbing bumps without clunks or drama. The review also praised the cabin's attractive materials and thoughtful details, and it singled out the versatile cargo space, which measures 513 liters behind the third row and grows to 2,690 liters with both rear rows folded. Reviewers do note that the touchpad-based infotainment interface takes some time to learn and that the third row is best suited to shorter trips, which is typical of the segment. Independent safety testing tells an equally strong story. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2022 MDX its highest honor, a 2022 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK, after it earned good ratings in all six crashworthiness evaluations, superior ratings for its front crash prevention system in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian tests, and a good rating for its standard LED projector headlights. Warranty With 50,031 miles on the odometer, this MDX is STILL COVERED by Acura's factory powertrain protection, which transfers to the next retail owner at no cost. Remaining transferable factory coverage: Powertrain Limited Warranty: 6 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first, covering the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components. Based on the June 14, 2021 warranty start date, this coverage runs through June 14, 2027, with just under 20,000 miles of allowance remaining. For buyers who want protection beyond the remaining factory coverage, extended service plans are available for purchase. Standard Features The Technology Package is the step up that matters on the MDX, because it changes how the SUV looks, lights, and greets its driver. A full-color head-up display projects speed and driver-assistance information onto the windshield so eyes stay on the road, while 20-inch Shark Gray wheels with a machined finish give the stance more presence than the base 19-inch wheels. Rain-sensing wipers and power folding side mirrors take care of small chores automatically, and Remote Smart Entry works on all doors, so loading a family into the car never turns into a key hunt. The IconicDrive interior lighting system may be the most personal touch in the package. It offers 24 themed illumination options that let the driver set the cabin's atmosphere, from calm and understated for a late commute to something livelier for a weekend drive, which makes the interior feel tailored rather than merely equipped. Mechanical Features Power comes from a 3.5-liter direct-injected V6 producing 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. It is a smooth, unhurried engine that delivers its output in a linear, confident way, and it pulls a full load of passengers and luggage without strain. Paired with it is a 10-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel paddle shifters, and the many closely spaced gears keep the engine working in its comfortable range on the highway while still allowing quick
