Acura's flagship 3-row luxury SUV, the MDX, has received an extensive refresh for the 2025 model year, solidifying its position as the best-selling vehicle of its kind. This update encompasses various enhancements, including styling improvements, a state-of-the-art 12.3-inch touchscreen interface with Google integration, enhanced safety features, and a premium Bang & Olufsen audio system.
A significant highlight of this update is the introduction of the MDX Type S with Advance Package, which showcases the new AcuraWatch™ 360 system. This system incorporates advanced driver-assistive capabilities, facilitated by additional front corner radars, an upgraded front camera, and new front millimeter wave radar. These enhancements aim to elevate both safety and driving experience.
Scheduled to arrive at Acura dealers nationwide in May, the 2025 MDX lineup offers an array of models tailored to different preferences and needs. The MDX A-Spec with Advance Package debuts, featuring sporty aesthetics and additional premium features such as a head-up display and curvilinear-quilted leather seats with massage functionality.
Styling-wise, all 2025 MDX models boast a more aggressive front fascia, characterized by a new open-frame Diamond Pentagon grille and redesigned LED headlights. The MDX A-Spec variant receives further enhancements, including a sportier front fascia, blacked-out exterior elements, and redesigned 20-inch wheels.
The turbocharged MDX Type S stands out with its exclusive features, including a frameless Diamond Pentagon grille, redesigned wheels, and distinctive rear diffuser and exhaust outlets. The model is available in two new paint colors: Canyon River Blue Metallic and Urban Gray Pearl.
Inside the cabin, the 2025 MDX integrates cutting-edge technology seamlessly. Every model comes equipped with a 12.3-inch touchscreen interface featuring Google integration, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The center console has been redesigned for improved functionality, offering increased storage and easier access to the wireless charging pad.
The audio experience in the MDX is elevated with two new Bang & Olufsen audio systems, developed exclusively for Acura. The range-topping MDX Type S with Advance Package boasts a 31-speaker Bang & Olufsen luxury audio system, delivering an immersive concert hall experience.
Safety remains a top priority for Acura, with the 2025 MDX offering enhanced driver-assistive features across all grades. The AcuraWatch™ 360 system, standard on the MDX Type S with Advance Package, introduces multiple new driver assistance features, including Active Lane Change Assist and Lane Change Collision Mitigation. Other MDX models receive updated safety hardware for improved collision avoidance performance.
Under the hood, the MDX Type S is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, producing 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, mated to a sport-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission and Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system.
Built exclusively in East Liberty, Ohio, alongside the Acura RDX, the 2025 MDX exemplifies Acura's commitment to precision craftsmanship and performance excellence.
