The 2022 Acura MDX is a stylish and capable luxury SUV. It has no problem standing up to competing models like the 2022 Kia Telluride. Let's pit the Acura MDX vs the Kia Telluride in some key areas.

The Acura MDX Type S comes with a more powerful turbo engine that widens the gap even further. It produces 355 horsepower and also increases its torque output to 354 lb-ft.
