Engineer’s Review of the 2025 Acura MDX Type S

The 2025 Acura MDX Type S is the rare three-row SUV that does so much more than just haul a family. It’s truly engineered to thrill. With a turbocharged V6, adaptive air suspension, aggressive styling, and so much more, the MDX Type S sits in a league of its own.

Automotive expert David from Automotive Press calls it “one of the best performance SUVs in its price range.” You’d have to jump into a BMW X5 M50i or a Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 to get anything similar—but at a much higher price. So, if you’re in North Tampa and you’re looking for an SUV that can do it all, the MDX Type S delivers. Luxury, power, and versatility—without compromise.

Turbocharged Power Meets Precision Handling

The MDX Type S isn’t just an SUV with a big engine. It’s a performance machine—engineered for drivers who crave excitement behind the wheel.

• 0L Turbocharged V6: This incredible engine delivers 355 horsepower, 354 lb-ft of torque. You get immediate power when you need it.
• Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD): Acura’s torque-vectoring AWD system delivers confidence in any road condition.
• Air Suspension with Adaptive Dampers: Conquer any road with confidence. The MDX Type S is smooth on the highway, while sporty and planted on twisty backroads.
• Brembo Front Brakes:Experience massive stopping power with four-piston red calipers that make a statement.

The MDX Type S is undeniably fast, but it’s also incredibly refined. Even at high speeds, the cabin stays whisper-quiet thanks to active noise cancellation and top-tier insulation.

A Completely Redesigned Interior

Acura finally ditched the touchpad and replaced it with a real touchscreen. David said it best: “Acura waited too long to fix the infotainment, but better late than never.” Now, it’s one of the best in its class. Here’s what’s so special about the Type S’ interior:

• 3-inch Touchscreen with Google Built-In
• Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
• 16-Way Power Front Seats with Massage
• Premium Milano Leather & Open-Pore Wood Trim

Built for Everyday Life

If you need an SUV that can handle daily life in North Tampa but still makes you smile every time you drive it, the MDX Type S is your answer. It’s the most practical performance SUV on the market thanks to these great features:

• Comfortable three-row seating with room for up to 7
• Hands-free power tailgate
• Adjustable cargo floor
• Panoramic moonroof
