Production of the All-New 2022 MDX Begins in Ohio

Acura has officially begun production of the all-new 2022 Acura MDX at the East Liberty Auto Plant in Ohio. The fourth-generation MDX has been completely redesigned in order to serve as the new flagship of the Acura brand.

Based on Acura’s Precision Crafted Performance DNA, it is the most premium, performance-focused and technologically advanced SUV in Acura history.

The 2022 MDX is underpinned by an all-new light truck platform, designed to deliver premium proportions, a more athletic handling performance, refined ride comfort, improved collision protection, and an exceptionally quiet cabin.

“Our associates at the East Liberty Auto Plant are incredibly excited to showcase their expertise in craftsmanship and quality as they begin mass production of Acura’s new flagship model, the 2022 MDX,” said East Liberty Auto Plant General Manager Jun Jayaraman.

Production associates at the company’s state-of-the-art engine plant in Anna, Ohio, will build the 3.5-liter V6 engine for the new MDX as well as the 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that will power the Type S high performance variant, set to arrive in the summer.

“To fulfill its new role as the flagship model of the Acura brand we had a clear focus on taking MDX to a higher level, a true revolution, that would evoke passion, excitement and emotion like never before,” said Tom Nguyen, global development leader of the MDX.
