Get to Know the 2022 Acura MDX Type S

The 2022 Acura MDX is an exceptionally well-equipped SUV with comfortable seating for seven. The redesigned MDX has more cargo space, standard features, and room than previous model years. As a luxury midsize SUV, the 2022 MDX delivers a smooth and relaxing ride.

But the drivers who want a sport-tuned, performance-based MDX are finally able to get what they want, as the 2022 Acura MDX Type S release is on the horizon, and we at Spitzer Acura McMurray near Bethel Park can’t wait to show it off.

Impressive Performance and Safety Features

The standard engine in the 2022 MDX three-row SUV is a 3.5-liter V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers 290 horsepower and comes with front-wheel drive.

The 2022 Acura MDX Type S specs up the ante with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that delivers 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. It comes with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) with Active Sport+ technology for superior acceleration and handling. It also has torque vectoring for power distribution to all four wheels.

Acura also adds air suspension to the Type S models for increased comfort and dynamic adjustments for a lowered ride in Sport mode or a more ground clearance in Lift mode.

Performance features include 21-inch alloy wheels with wide tires. For confident braking on a dime, the MDX Type S has red Brembo four-piston front calipers and upsized rotors.

Like the standard luxury SUV models, the Type S has an impressive collection of AcuraWatch safety features. They include a Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist, Pedestrian Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist.

The 2022 Acura MDX Type S towing capacity is 5,000 pounds when equipped with all-wheel drive and towing accessories.

Exclusive Styling and Technology

It’s easy to see the styling differences in the Type S models. The standard MDX has an impressive new design with a longer body style and tapered cabin. The Type S offers the same body design but with an exclusive front fascia, Type S badging, and aggressive quad exhaust with a rear diffuser.

The 2022 Acura MDX Type S interior has premium leather seating in unique colors like Orchid and Azurite Blue. The front seats have available 16-way power adjustability with nine massage modes. The dark open-pore wood trim accents the sophisticated leather seating.

The Type S technology includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Wireless Charging, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a 25-speaker ELS Audio System.

Buyers can add the Advanced Package with heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, hands-free power liftgate, additional USB ports, a head-up display, and the surround-view parking system.
