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.

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Reviews Summary

In reality, it achieves two of those objectives, but despite Land Rover’s best efforts, the new 2023 Range Rover Sport poses no threat to Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz when it comes to on-road driving dynamics. Off-road, it feels unstoppable. But when was the last time you saw a Range Rover Sport off-road?

2022 Acura MDX

8/10

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

8/10
The 2022 Acura MDX enters its fourth generation with a new platform, refreshed exterior styling, and upgraded interior. It continues to provide three rows of seating in a midsize luxury SUV package.

Performance

2022 Acura MDX

8/10

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

8/10
Experts score the 2022 MDX an 8 out of 10 for performance, praising its 290-hp V6, 10-speed automatic transmission, and available SH-AWD (for super-handling all-wheel drive) system. The MDX feels nimble and responsive, with a stiff body structure and refined ride. The 2023 RRS gets an 8 out of 10 for performance. The turbo inline-6 makes 395 hp and can accelerate to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. The 8-speed automatic provides smooth shifts, and standard AWD helps deliver confident handling.
Form and function

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

7/10
With 3 rows and up to 95 cubic feet of cargo space, the 2022 MDX earns an 8 out of 10 for utility. Second-row seats slide and recline for flexibility, and a power tailgate has convenient features like Walk Away Close. At 7 out of 10, the 2023 RRS offers less overall passenger and cargo volume. Rear seat space is tight, door openings are narrow, and cargo room is 53 cubic feet max. Still, the RRS provides a high seating position and good amenities.
Technology

2022 Acura MDX

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

4/10
The MDX gets an 8 out of 10 for technology, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Amazon Alexa integration, a 12.3-inch display, and an available ELS Studio 3D audio system. Some controls take getting used to. Scoring just 4 out of 10, the Range Rover Sport has dual 13-inch screens, but its infotainment system is confusing to use. The voice assistant failed to understand basic navigation commands in multiple tests. Active noise cancellation is a highlight.
Safety

2022 Acura MDX

8/10

2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

7/10
The 2022 MDX aims to match its predecessor's strong crash test results. All models come standard with AcuraWatch driver-assistance features, earning an 8 out of 10. With abundant standard driver aids but some hiccups from the steering assist system, the 2023 RRS rates 7 out of 10 for safety. Autonomous parking tech is available.
