Nissan has done a great job refining the car for 2019. It is much quieter the the 2016. Brilliantly lit day time running lamps and finally LEDs in the rear lamps and front and rear turn signals! I understand they used heavier glass and added more insulation. Couple that with the improved safety features for back up, pedestrian braking and yes, you can disable the smart cruise control at engagement.
There is alot of snorting about the rear fascia and quad tip tail lights. I think they look great especially when the rear diffuser is added.
Is the car perfect? No but pretty dam good considering the actual price. (Folks you do not buy this car at sticker) Usually much less.

my family owns (or has owned) numerous Acuras. We had eight in a row (all leased) from 2003 > 2016.
All of us have moved on due to 1) complete lack of innovation, 2) navigation/infotainment, 3) push-button auto, 4) navigation/infotainment, and 5) price point too high.
Their cars (notably TLX/ILX not to mention RLX) are sitting on lots.
The Nissan CVT is fine. The Acura DSG (4-cylinder) and push-button auto (6-cylinder) are awful.
And I'm suffering through Honda's 10-speed auto in my Odyssey. It will be ripped out and replaced.

The 2019 Acura navi is not much better since it does not allow any touch screen input on the TLX! The TLX comes up short with no power steering wheel column, no power rear sunshade, no panoramic sunroof. (and NO SPARE Folks)! While tha Acura has improved, it still comes up short. Herky jerky Acura trans makes the CVT seem turbine smooth!

I've been in the market for an SUV and been reading about the new Acura RDX on one of the Acura forums (Acurazine). And while they have generally been positive, there are many fit and finish issues and the infotainment system has been a disaster. Threads and threads of problems with the system crashing, freezing, not user friendly, etc. Setting up favorites for SXM stations is a chore. As simple as it looks, the Nissan system in my 2017 Max is pretty easy to use. While there are some issues with the system., I am very happy with it. That's why I was very disappointed when the Murano Platinum I drove did not have all features of the 2017 Max (Bose Centerpoint, Surround sound simulation, etc.)

I recently got an 18 sv. I test drove both an 18 and 19 and sound wise noticed nothing different. I don't know if there was any changes between a 17 and 18, I wouldn't think so though. The maxima overall is pretty quiet imo. Although I'm coming from a Toyota camry and that car was not nearly as quiet as the maxima

Also saw difference on wife's Pathfinder - switched from stock Bridgestone or Dunlop to Yokohama.

Thanks, Lindros, I’ve done that. Lots of conflicting opinions there. Some customer reviews say one tire is quieter while others say it’s worse. The video reviews are the same. TR will list a tire as being quieter but then the video comparison review says the noise is the worst aspect of the tire. And I’ve. It really seen a tire get above 87 or 88% in the comfort/noise ranking for any tire TR says matches my car. So it’s all a bit confusing.
