What’s the Biggest Change in the 2025 MDX? Video Review

Motormouth is hitting the pavement again, this time with an exciting couple’s review of the updated 2025 Acura MDX. And spoiler alert—both Zach and Andrea were seriously impressed. From improved tech to refined handling, the 2025 MDX brings a lot to the table. Here’s what you need to know, straight from their insightful video review:

Power That Delivers

Let’s talk engines.

The standard MDX features a 3.5L V6 engine that cranks out 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. But if you’re ready to level up, the Type S flexes with a 3.0L turbo V6 delivering 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Pair that with a 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, and you’ve got a setup that’s smooth on the streets and powerful on the trails.

The Type S even comes with Sport+ mode, bringing track-inspired torque vectoring and an air suspension for both comfort and precision. Quick acceleration? Check. Nimble handling? Double check.

Out With the Old, in With the Touchscreen

Goodbye, trackpad. Hello, modern convenience.

The 2025 MDX ditches its much-criticized trackpad for a sleek 12.3-inch touchscreen. Built with Google and Amazon Alexa integration, the system offers snappy responsiveness and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Need premium sound? The 19- or 31-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound systems deliver immersive audio for those who prefer playlists over AM sports talk (sorry, Zach!).

A Comfortable, Functional Interior

Zach and Andrea were pleased by the updates inside the refreshed MDX. The redesigned center console provides better storage, while matte black finishes replace the fingerprint-prone piano black trim. In the Type S, you’ll find ultra-suede bolstered seats with excellent thigh support and a flat-bottom steering wheel for added style.

Plus, the massaging front seats in the Type S trim? Andrea called them “strong,” which means they’ll actually work out the kinks after a long day.

A Bold Yet Functional Exterior

The 2025 MDX has a refreshed front fascia, bolder wheel designs, and LED headlamps and tail lamps that command attention.

If you go for the Type S, you’ll love the quad exhaust pipes, 21-inch wheels, and air suspension that adjusts ground clearance up to 9.4 inches. Need something sportier? The Platinum Elite A-Spec trim combines aggressive styling with premium features, giving you the Type S look without the turbocharged punch.

Family-Friendly Features: Built for Everyone

Andrea and Zach like that the new MDX considers every passenger. With seating for up to seven and a removable second-row middle seat, the MDX offers unmatched flexibility. Rear passengers enjoy ample legroom and even reclining seats. Meanwhile, cargo space tops out at 95 cubic feet, with a bonus underfloor storage bin for extra gear.

The SUV also continues to impress with its flat rear floor, making it so much easier for passengers to hop in and out.

The Drive: Smooth, Quiet, and Fun

Motormouth didn’t hold back. They tested the MDX on smooth highways, bumpy roads, and even in Sport+ mode for an extra dose of adrenaline. How’d it go? The cabin remains whisper-quiet, even on rough terrain. The MDX drives more like a sedan than an SUV, offering a car-like agility that competitors struggle to match.

The Refreshed Acura MDX Is Better Than Ever

From its improved touchscreen to its refined handling, the 2025 Acura MDX is better than ever. Whether you’re looking for a tech-filled family SUV or a performance-focused ride like the Type S, this MDX delivers on every front. Take it for a spin and see for yourself!
