2025 Acura MDX: Midcycle Refresh Brings Updated Styling, Google Built-In & New A-Spec With Advance Package

2025 Acura MDX Summary Points

The 2025 Acura MDX has received a midcycle freshening to keep pace with other premium machinery, such as the Genesis GV80, Lincoln Nautilus, and Volvo XC90.

Gone is the absurd touchpad-based infotainment system for a new Google built-in touchscreen that comes standard across the lineup.

The performance-enhanced MDX Type S receives the Advance Package for the 2025 model year. It includes a 31-speaker Bang & Olufsen stereo and AcuraWatch 360.

2025 Acura MDX: What’s New?

Acura introduced the fourth-gen MDX three-row SUV in 2022. The MDX is the brand’s top-selling product, and Acura didn’t take long to release substantial updates to satisfy buyer demands.

“It’s simply the best MDX we’ve ever made,” said Mamadou Diallo, Senior Vice President of American Honda Auto Sales. “We’ve enhanced MDX in almost every way, adding incredible new tech, a quick and intuitive touchscreen interface, world-class Bang & Olufsen luxury audio, and lots more.”

New for the 2025 Acura MDX are darkened headlights and taillamps, a reshaped front bumper, an updated diamond Pentagon grille with a fancier mesh pattern, new 20-inch wheel designs (Technology Package and above), and improved NVH with laminated rear door glass and sound-deadening fender liners.

2025 Acura MDX Powertrain

The 2025 MDX has a standard 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 with 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft. of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, while Acura’s rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive with torque vectoring is optional. The standard gearbox is a 10-speed automatic.

Meanwhile, the high-performance MDX Type S remains powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with direct injection, dual overhead camshafts (DOHC), and a single twin-scroll turbocharger. It produces a healthy 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft. of torque.

The MDX Type S is exclusively available with a 10-speed automatic transmission, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, and an adaptive air suspension.
