2022 Acura MDX vs. 2022 Infiniti QX60 Overview
The Acura MDX has entered its new model year, and it separates itself from plenty of stiff competition in all the right ways. This redesigned SUV boasts plenty of pep, a stunning new aesthetic both inside and out, and plenty of amenities and comforts, and we at Acura of Oakville thought it only natural to compare it to another redesigned SUV in the 2022 Infiniti QX60. If you're based in our home of Oakville or the neighbouring Mississauga, Milton, or Burlington, Ontario, find out how our new SUV fares against the QX60 in our detailed 2022 Acura MDX review below before visiting us for a good look at our new inventory.
Interior & Exterior Design
The latest Acura MDX's reimagined design is a sight to behold, beginning with its elegant bodywork and sculpted hood. Acura's patented Jewel Eye LED lighting and Diamond Pentagon grille work in tandem to create a stunning front end, while several stylish wheel designs and a panoramic moonroof complete the 2022 MDX's sophisticated new exterior. You can also personalize this new three-row SUV with your choice of a handful of stylish body colours. As for its Infiniti rival, the new QX60 enters its 2022 model year with a new design of its own, boasting an exterior that's bold and stylish in its own right, but not quite as elegant as the MDX's.
As far as its interior is concerned, the new Acura MDX offers a revamped, upscale cabin with a bevy of quality materials, including leather trim and open-pore wood, metal, and black accents. In addition to a clean and refined dash design, the 2022 MDX's interior also boasts ample room across three rows of comfortable and supportive seating, making it an ideal choice for those who love embarking on family trips. A leatherette interior, power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, and dual-zone automatic climate control lead the MDX's standard comforts, and its upper trims only get more refined. The 2022 Infiniti QX60, by comparison, boasts an elegant and refined cabin of its own. Indeed, this Infiniti model offers a respectable selection of upscale materials and three rows of seating - like the MDX - but it lacks the sporty flair you'll find in some of our available Acura MDX packages.
Performance
Let us be the first to say the new Acura MDX's performance is responsive, engaging, and dynamic, beginning with a 3.5-litre V6 engine packing a solid 290 horsepower. This robust motor works in tandem with a refined 10-speed automatic transmission, while Acura's patented Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system is available to those who crave all-weather capability in their new SUV. An Integrated Dynamics System offers a handful of unique drive modes for a personalized ride, and driving enthusiasts will be glad to hear the 2022 MDX performance also boasts peppy acceleration and exceptionally athletic handling for a vehicle of its segment, as well as a solid towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.
As far as its rival is concerned, the 2022 Infiniti QX60 reviews are in, and while they've praised this new SUV's smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission, they've also noted its powerful V6 engine is a tad unrefined and its ride a little stiff at times. For a proper look at how the new Acura MDX performance bests the Infiniti QX60's, contact us at Acura of Oakville, and we'll gladly take our upscale 2022 SUV for a spin.
Trims
Both these redesigned SUVs come in a handful of attractive trims, and while the Infiniti QX60 stable is nothing to scoff at, the 2022 Acura MDX lineup is as compelling as they come. In addition to its beloved base model, the MDX also comes in a Tech trim with a hands-free power liftgate, an Acura Navigation System, an ELS Studio Premium Audio System with 12 speakers, heated second-row seats, and perforated leather upholstery. As for the A-Spec package, this MDX model boasts exclusive styling, LED fog lights, a flat-bottom sport steering wheel for driving purists, and ventilated Ultrasuede and leather front seats. Rounding out the Acura MDX lineup is the Platinum Elite package, which offers a colour head-up display, USB ports in all three rows, genuine wood trim, and perforated leather seating with piping and contrast stitching for a most refined experience.
