Video Review Summary: 2025 Acura MDX A-Spec vs. Mazda CX-90

Joe Raiti from Raiti’s Rides is back, and this time he’s taking us on a thrilling ride in the updated 2025 Acura MDX A-Spec. But there’s a twist! He’s not just reviewing the MDX; he’s pitting it against a worthy contender, the Mazda CX-90.

Both are stylish, sporty, and spacious three-row SUVs, but which one comes out on top? Let’s dive into Joe’s insightful comparison and discover why the MDX A-Spec might just be the perfect blend of luxury and performance.

Exterior: Acura’s Sporty Sophistication

The MDX A-Spec, draped in Acura’s classic Apex Blue Pearl, makes a bold statement with its refreshed exterior. The new frameless grille, sleek LED headlights, and blacked-out accents create a sporty yet sophisticated look that’s sure to turn heads.

While Joe appreciates the CX-90’s unique styling, he gives the nod to the MDX A-Spec for its more cohesive and athletic appearance.

Interior: Acura’s Premium Touch

Step inside the MDX A-Spec, and you’ll be greeted by a cabin that exudes luxury and sophistication. The two-tone interior, with its soft-touch materials, real metal trim, ambient lighting, and other refined touches creates an inviting and upscale atmosphere.

Joe is particularly impressed with the new 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which offers a full touchscreen experience, even when using Apple CarPlay. He also gives high marks to the Bang & Olufsen sound system, praising its exceptional clarity and immersive sound quality.

Performance: Acura’s Smooth Operator

Under the hood, the MDX A-Spec boasts a 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers a smooth and responsive 290 horsepower. While the CX-90’s turbocharged inline-six engine offers more power, Joe appreciates the MDX’s linear power delivery and refined driving experience.

The 10-speed automatic transmission and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system further enhance the MDX’s performance, providing seamless shifts and confident handling in any condition.

Who Wins? Acura Has the Clear Edge

While both the MDX A-Spec and the CX-90 are impressive SUVs, Joe ultimately gives the edge to the Acura. Its combination of sporty, luxurious styling and refined performance creates a driving experience that’s hard to beat.
