The 2025 Acura MDX A-Spec Advance Is A Sporty & Safe Bet For A 3-Row Luxury SUV

As the best-selling 3-row luxury SUV in the America, the #AcuraMDX has been a well balanced vehicle when you need seating for up to 7-people. For 2025, #Acura has given latest #MDX a refresh that addresses some of the concerns from the earlier models. The #MDXAspec also finally picks up the Advance package and it makes for a more appealing luxury SUV.

Love how they kept their V6 and gave us a touchscreen infotainment system now. Acura MDX really kept its longevity

[TalismanPHX]

That V6 engine purrs. Very smooth and refined vehicle. A family member has a MDX and it has been extremely reliable. Even handles forest service gravel roads

Congratulations on your wedding! I’ve been following you for years on here. My favorite car journalist 💚

These things look a lot better than Lexus and I'm a Lexus fanboy. Who would have thought Acura interiors would look way more premium than Lexus...lol

But I would only want the Type S version of this. Horsepower is too low on this model.

[aclarkr]

It's a SOHC, not the new DOHC in the Pilot. It has the same older J35 engine as the Odyssey, Ridgeline, and Passport. You can tell by the black plastic head covers, as opposed to the aluminum machined ones with integrated cam journals.

I’d love to see an RDX refresh this year

[volcalstone]

$70K with only 290HP? Crazy imo. I would rather just get used Type-S at $55K. This is coming from a Acura fanboy.

[BlakeParker]

The fact that it's that expensive and doesn't have 3rd row air vents is unacceptable!! I also don't like the electronic gear shifter. It has great tech and features though. I really like the design!

[JoseMorales-mjfz]

Why the need for a 14inch screen?? 12in is a perfect size screen! Some ppl trying to bring there living room to there vehicles…it’s ridiculous.

[RobertTaylor-jfge]

Love the fact that the A-Spec and Type-S have the same front.

[bobbyjones]

A hell of a lot better looking than the ZDX and for the same price, I’d rather have this!👍🚗

Love Acura...my favorite auto brand...gorgeous styling, premium interiors, high quality workmanship, and solid reliability. I love my MDX...best luxury brand I ever owned.

[blackwhirlwind]

This vehicle just keeps getting more expensive, when this generation MDX first came out, the Advance package was around 63K, and then this A-Spec Advance is almost 70K, but all they did is add a blackout A-Spec appearance package and a touch screen, and massage seats and just 3 things they add 7K to the price😢.

I couldn't care less about SUV/ crossovers I'm just interested in how Acura is updating their vehicles

[harrytej]

There you go he said it… the screen is big and easy to use google OS and praises and then he says “ it’s looking dated and small”.. Wtf is wrong with these auto journalists.. why do you need more screen? This is nuts

[mike]

It’s still the SOHC V6 they didn’t update it to the pilot engine

[JonSnowsGhost]

I hope Acura makes the right changes when they redesign the MDX. It seems the other brands studied this car and made their 3 row suvs better or at least they tried. 290HP & 267 LB TQ is under powered when you can get the CX-90, TX and GH etc (TX and GH are recalled) with more power and way better gas mileage. The 3rd is borderline unusable for passengers. All of the charging ports should be usb-c. No digital rearview mirror. The 360 camera looks dated. No third row vents. No hybrid? Smh. The body and wheelbase need to be extended 4-5 inches to add legroom to the thirdrow. And remove the curve outward on the tailgate.

Been waiting for the 2025 Acura Advanced with the new Touchscreen ….if they brought back the traditional shifter, would be perfect. As far as color scheme Liquid Carbon metallic with espresso interior 😊 We currently have a 2015 Acura MDX TECH…love but time to upgrade with more safety features.

[kingtrax]

I wonder if this new v6 comes with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. That's been one of my biggest gripes with Honda for a while now.
