2025 Acura MDX Bows With Sportier Styling And Google Tech

Touchscreen displays are everywhere as they can be found on tablets, smartphones, and laptops. They can also be found in most cars, although a handful of automakers buck convention and logic. Acura was one of them, as the brand embraced a True Touchpad Interface, which wasn’t intuitive or easy to use.

While drivers would eventually get the hang of it, the system felt like a relic from a bygone era. The company is now putting the system firmly behind itself with the updated 2025 MDX, which features an all-new infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and Google built-in. Besides being far more intuitive, it provides access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play store.
