2022 Acura MDX Reviews Summary Skipping 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.
2023 Ford Bronco Reviews Summary With the choice of two or four doors between nine distinct models, there's a Ford Bronco to match almost any shopper's needs. It's equally at home on the highway or scaling mountains and is as tough as it is fashionable, which is why it remains one of the most desirable vehicles on the market.

2022 Acura MDX

8/10

2023 Ford Bronco

8/10

CarGurus experts rate the 2022 Acura MDX at 8 out of 10 for its sportier and more modern design, a significant step forward from its predecessors. It sits on a new platform with a longer wheelbase, wider body, and larger wheels, enhancing its sporty demeanor. Inside, it boasts a refined interior with premium materials, a sophisticated center console design reminiscent of a fighter jet, and a 12.3-inch infotainment screen that is not touch-operated for safety reasons. The seats offer exceptional comfort and the vehicle comes in eight exterior colors and six interior themes, showcasing its luxury and customization. The 2023 Ford Bronco scores 9 out of 10, thanks to its blend of retro-cool styling and modern engineering across nine distinct trim levels. From its unmistakable blocky shape to its functional exterior features like cleats above the headlights for securing cargo, the Bronco combines form with function. Its interior is rugged yet innovative, with waterproof materials and thoughtful touches like a grid-like mesh on seatbacks for Molle-type bags. It represents a perfect blend of heritage-inspired design and modern utility.

Performance

2022 Acura MDX

8/10

2023 Ford Bronco

9/10

The 2022 Acura MDX, with its single engine option at launch, produces 290 horsepower, benefiting from a new 10-speed automatic transmission and an upgraded suspension for improved handling and a smoother ride. It shines with its SH-AWD system, enhancing cornering feel and control. Its performance, especially in terms of rigidity and transmission efficiency, sets it apart as a more refined SUV. The 2023 Ford Bronco offers three engines, with the base 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 300 horsepower. It stands out with its off-road capabilities without sacrificing on-road comfort. Its top-of-the-line Raptor variant, with 418 horsepower, offers excessive power for those seeking adventure. Despite its rugged nature, the Bronco maintains a commendable level of on-road manners, proving its versatility.

When it comes to the 2022 Acura MDX, its design as a three-row SUV caters to a variety of roles, from a family transporter to a utility vehicle. The MDX excels with plush seating in the first two rows, featuring a second row that boasts an innovative removable center section. This flexibility allows for easy access to the third row, either by sliding the second-row seat forward or by removing the center section for a pass-through. The second row’s ability to slide and recline (up to 12 degrees, doubling its previous capability) further enhances passenger comfort, making it adaptable for legroom between the second and third rows. However, the third row is best suited for younger passengers or those of smaller stature, with space becoming tight for adults on longer journeys. For utility, the MDX's interior layout is notably versatile. The cargo capacity behind the third row ranges between 16.3 and 18.1 cubic feet, augmented by an additional 1.8 cubic feet of concealed storage beneath the floor. When the third row is folded, this expands to between 39.1 and 48.4 cubic feet, and folding down both rear rows opens up a cavernous space ranging from 71.4 to a maximum of 95 cubic feet. In contrast, the 2023 Ford Bronco's boxy silhouette isn't just a nod to its storied past; it maximizes interior space and functionality, particularly evident in its cargo capabilities. For those frequently carrying passengers or requiring easy access to the rear, the four-door model is recommended, thanks to its more accessible rear seating compared to the two-door version's less convenient entry. The cargo space varies by model, with the two-door offering up to 22.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 52.3 cubic feet with them folded. The four-door Bronco increases this capacity to 35.6 cubic feet and 77.6 cubic feet, respectively. However, it's worth noting that the rear seats don’t fold flat, creating a step that could complicate loading longer items or sleeping in the cargo area.

The 2023 Ford Bronco integrates technology to enhance its off-road abilities, featuring G.O.A.T. drive modes, numerous camera views for challenging terrains, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with an optional 12-inch display for ease of use.

2023 Ford Bronco

5/10

The 2022 Acura MDX aims for top safety ratings with its robust engineering, pedestrian safety features, and the comprehensive AcuraWatch suite, promising peace of mind for its occupants. The 2023 Ford Bronco, while offering essential safety features and scoring well in crash tests, lacks the comprehensive safety and driver assistance technologies standard in more conventional SUVs, marking a potential area for improvement.

CarGurus highlights

According to CarGurus experts, the overall rating for the 2022 Acura MDX is 8.0 out of 10, while the 2023 Ford Bronco scores 8.0 out of 10. Given these ratings, both vehicles excel in their respective categories but cater to very different audiences. The Acura MDX offers a refined blend of luxury, comfort, and practicality, ideal for families and those desiring a premium driving experience. The Ford Bronco, on the other hand, appeals to the adventurous spirit, promising off-road capability and rugged charm without sacrificing modern technology or comfort.
