2022 Acura MDX Reviews SummarySkipping the 2021 model year, the Acura MDX leaps ahead into 2022, riding on a new platform with a new exterior design, new interior look, refreshed platform, and a more assertive attitude. Now entering its fourth generation of production since its introduction as a 2001 model, the MDX rewards its loyal audience with improvements across the board—while retaining its essential nature. | |
2022 Jeep Wrangler Reviews SummaryFor a long time, the Jeep Wrangler represented a vehicle class of one. Where else could you get a two-door or four-door convertible with removable doors, a fold-down windshield, and go-anywhere off-roading capability wrapped in retro styling cues? Today, the Ford Bronco meets that same description and, in some ways, is superior to the 2022 Jeep Wrangler. But we love this anachronistic throwback of an SUV anyway, warts and all, even if the overall rating appears to suggest otherwise. And a handful of changes to the 2022 Wrangler do nothing but further cement our appreciation of this formerly one-of-a-kind vehicle. | |

Look and feel
CarGurus experts rate the 2022 Acura MDX as 8 out of 10 and the 2022 Jeep Wrangler as 5.5 out of 10. The MDX boasts a modern and sporty exterior design with high-quality materials in the interior, providing a luxurious and comfortable feel. In contrast, the Jeep Wrangler offers a rugged and adventurous look with basic but durable materials inside.
Performance
For the 2022 Acura MDX, the 3.5-liter V6 engine coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission and SH-AWD system delivers a smooth and powerful performance. On the other hand, the 2022 Jeep Wrangler with its 3.6-liter V6 engine offers a unique driving experience with its off-road capabilities, but it lacks refinement on-road and fuel efficiency.
Form and function
The three-row Acura MDX provides ample passenger space with innovative seating configurations and generous cargo capacity ranging from 16.3 to 95 cubic feet. In comparison, the two-row Jeep Wrangler offers limited passenger comfort and cargo space, with 31.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 72.4 cubic feet with seats folded down.
Technology
The 2022 Acura MDX comes equipped with advanced tech features such as the ELS Studio premium audio system, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, and Amazon Alexa integration. On the other hand, the Jeep Wrangler offers basic infotainment technology with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, lacking more sophisticated features found in the MDX.
Safety
The Acura MDX comes with a suite of safety and driver assistance technologies as standard, including collision mitigation braking, lane-keeping assist, and traffic sign recognition.
