About this generation

Skipping the 2021 model year, the fourth-generation MDX was revealed as a prototype on October 14, 2020, virtually revealed on December 8, went into bulk production on January 12, 2021, for the 2022 model year, and went on sale on February 2, with the Type-S trim released on December 23. The MDX became the flagship model of the Acura marque following the discontinuation of the RLX mid-size luxury sedan in June 2020.

The exterior includes the standard panoramic sunroof, either 19 or 20-inch alloy rims, a tailgate similar to the 2019 RDX, headlights and taillights similar to the second-generation TLX, a differently styled grille emblem, nine exterior and seven interior colors. For the Type-S trim, a yellow color, called Tiger Eye will also be available. The improved interior includes a 12.3-inch infotainment system and the Acura's first 12-inch digital full TFT instrument cluster, touch pad, 16-way power front seats with 3-memory positions, removable center second row seat, a removable double sided trunk floor with carpet and plastic, and more legroom and headroom compared to the third generation MDX.

The MDX also features an optional audio system with 16-speakers including four roof-mounted speakers and a foot sensor for Hands Free Access power tailgate release and closure when the key fob is nearby. A redesigned key fob that is shaped like a convex irregular polygon is included. Powertrains are improved, with the existing 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine paired with a 10-speed transmission available for four trims; base, technology package, A-Spec, and advance package.

While the all-wheel-drive (AWD) is optional on the base and technology trims, it is standard on A-Spec and advance trims. The Type-S trim model will get a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 gasoline engine and front brakes with four-piston Brembo calipers as standard. All-wheel-drive will also be standard for the Type-S. However, there is no hybrid powertrain available unlike the previous generation. In the front, a double wishbone suspension with forged aluminum lower control arms, damper forks, and steering knuckles makes its way into the MDX along with more rigid cast-aluminum shock towers, larger front brake rotors and wider alloy wheels.

Plastic wheel well liners are replaced with fabric material and a repositioned air intake for easier access to both battery terminals. High-strength steel (HSS), press-hardened steel and aluminum make up 69.7% of vehicle body mass. The rear body is more rigid with suspension load paths passing into the C and D-pillars, allowing for towing capabilities. Standard towing capacity is while it can be increased to when the transmission cooler is added.

The cooler kit is available as an accessory for the AWD models. The MDX facelift was revealed on April 9, 2024, for the 2025 model year. Changes include updated exterior styling, new exterior colors, new alloy wheel designs, the touchpad controller has been replaced in favour of additional storage space and a wireless charging pad, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in and the addition of new safety features such as AcuraWatch 360 system.

The ELS Studio 3D audio system is replaced by a new Bang & Olufsen system with 19 speakers in non-Type S trims and 31 speakers in the Type S trim. SiriusXM satellite radio was discontinued beginning with the 2025 model year. Powertrain options remain unchanged. The 2022 MDX was awarded "Top Safety Pick +" by the IIHS.
