This luxury crossover has received a subtle but impactful refresh for the new model year, and we’re here to explore every detail. Stick around as we dive into what's new, pricing options, performance specs, and everything you need to know about this refreshed beauty.
What’s New for 2025?
Acura has made some noteworthy updates to the MDX for 2025, enhancing both its exterior and interior.
Exterior Upgrades
The changes might seem minor at first glance, but they make a significant difference:
Bumper, Wheels, and Grille: The bumper, wheels, and grille have been slightly revamped, with the grille featuring a new, sleek mesh design that adds a touch of sophistication.
Interior Enhancements
Inside, the updates are even more impressive:
Infotainment System: The frustrating touchpad infotainment system is gone, replaced by a user-friendly 12.3-inch touchscreen display.
Center Console: The center console has been reworked for better usability and aesthetics.
Seating: New 16-way adjustable front seats with a more robust massaging function are now available as an option. This is a game-changer for long drives and daily commutes.
Audio and Comfort
Acura has also upgraded the MDX’s audio and comfort features:
Audio System: The base model now includes extra speakers, while the optional ELS Studio stereo has been replaced by a Bang & Olufsen setup with 19 speakers. The Type S trim takes it up a notch with an incredible 31-speaker Bang & Olufsen system.
Sound Insulation: New laminated rear window glass and added sound insulation ensure a quieter cabin.
Driver-Assistance: All models now come with a rear seatbelt reminder system and upgraded driver-assistance hardware for improved performance.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Now, let’s talk about pricing. The 2025 Acura MDX starts at $50,000 and can go up to $76,300, depending on your chosen trim and options.
Recommendations
As driving enthusiasts, we’re particularly intrigued by the Type S for its performance aspirations. However, if you’re looking for a well-equipped luxury crossover without the sporty flair, we’d recommend the Technology trim. It includes:
Leather Upholstery with Contrast Stitching
Adjustable Interior Ambient Lighting**
Bang & Olufsen Stereo with 19 Speakers
Host of Driver-Assistance Features**
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Under the hood, the MDX offers impressive power and performance:
Regular MDX: Powered by a 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available as an option.
Type S: Comes with a 355-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine and standard all-wheel drive. Our test drives revealed nimble handling and perky acceleration in both models, but the Type S stands out with its extra power.
0-60-MPH Times
For those of you who love speed, the Type S hits 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds, compared to the standard model’s 6.4 seconds. Not bad at all!
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Step inside, and you’ll find a premium cabin, especially in the higher trims, with stitched leather on the dashboard, open-pore wood, and metal and piano-black accents. Comfort is a priority with dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and leather upholstery. The new front seats offer 16-way power adjustability and massage options. While the first and second rows are spacious, the third row is best suited for kids. The interior is nicely designed, offering plenty of convenience options, though it may not match the artistic cabins of rivals like the Genesis GV80 or Volvo XC90.
