The 2025 Acura MDX offers a nice blend of luxury, performance and advanced technology. As Acura’s flagship three-row SUV, the MDX remains a compelling choice for families seeking a premium driving experience.
Under the hood, the MDX offers two robust engine options. The standard model is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system is available for enhanced traction and handling.
The MDX retains the bold and aerodynamic design language introduced in the previous model year. The front fascia features the distinctive Diamond Pentagon grille with a redesigned mesh pattern, flanked by Jewel Eye® LED headlights that now come with darkened accents for a more dramatic appearance.
For those seeking a more performance-oriented experience, the MDX Type S variant features a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine delivering 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. This model comes standard with SH-AWD®, Brembo front brakes and an adaptive air suspension system, providing a dynamic and responsive driving experience.
Inside, the MDX offers a luxurious and spacious cabin designed to accommodate up to seven passengers. Premium materials, such as French-stitched leather, open-pore wood and metallic accents, create an upscale atmosphere. The front seats are available with 16-way power adjustability and massage functions in higher trims, ensuring comfort on long journeys.
Audio enthusiasts will appreciate the collaboration with Bang & Olufsen, providing premium sound systems across the lineup. Depending on the trim, the MDX offers either a 19-speaker or an impressive 31-speaker setup in the Type S model, delivering an immersive audio experience.
