Tested: 2022 Acura MDX Type S vs. 2022 Dodge Durango SRT 392:
On the street, the MDX Type S is better isolated and smoother riding than the Durango. It's also nimbler and more eager to rotate, aided by its torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system. Sadly, its all-season tires squeal under less duress, and brake-pedal responses are inconsistent the harder it's worked. Acura's turbo six also sounds too subdued, and its 10-speed automatic too eagerly upshifts unless in Sport+ mode. All this makes us think "Type s" instead of "Type S.
The SRT provides a more immersive experience. Its V-8 soundtrack is intoxicating, and its eight-speed automatic delivers delightfully quick sledgehammer shifts in Track mode. The Durango sits higher and is 703 pounds heavier than the MDX, but its predictable grip and reassuring body control encouraged us to drive it harder. It's that confidence at speed that separates these performance-branded SUVs, more so than what's under their hoods.
