The 2025 Acura MDX Type S Is A Family SUV With An Advanced Blend Of Luxury & Speed

The #AcuraMDX took the role as Acura's flagship model back in 2022 and it introduced the first-ever high performance #AcuraMDXTypeS. As the first #TypeS SUV in the #Acura portfolio, the #MDXTypeS borrows its 3.0L Turbo V6 from the #TLXTypeS and for 2025, Acura has made the #MDX more appealing with slight styling tweaks and an improved touch-screen infotainment system.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you all had a safe and relaxing holiday weekend! The Acura MDX gets subtle but effective updates for 2025 and while the pre-refreshed model was already one of the best looking vehicles in the segment, Acura made it even more handsome for 2025 and finally added a touch screen! If only they would just add a bit more power to the Type S model!

The obsession for a bigger and bigger screens just blows my mind. One thing I learned for good is that most people are never content in the car industry and always either want more or always comparing so it makes people not appreciate what’s available now. Smh

Nice upgrade overall, the new touchscreen system is especially nice coming from the touchpad in my 22. But I feel like the price is pretty high, especially for the Type-S. A CPO or used pre facelift Type S seems like an insane value for the money in comaprison.

I see more older MDXs on the road vs new ones. Those old ones are freaking tank's

Literally always look forward to this guys reviews, he covers everything!!!

The other brands studied the MDX and made their suvs better. This suv was great 2-3 years ago but now it desperately needs a redesign. It gets the worst gas mileage. No hybrid. Has barely any leg room in third row. No air vents in the third row. The least amount of cargo capacity in the segment. No digital rearview mirror. Has more usb-a than usb-c ports. The base engine has less horsepower than its competitors. The turbo charged engine is underpowered too. I really liked the MDX but Acura has to update this car asap.

I will say this again ....I have a 2014 Acura Rlx Sport Hybrid....
377 horsepower 341 Torque...
With pretty much all the features
28 mpg city 32 highway. I always had an Acura..I could get to go 0 to 60 in about 4.6 seconds in a 2014 Acura is not really listening to their customers. All my friends have gone to BMW and Now we see why

It's still one of the best, and still one of the best looking in its class!!

The screen is big enough! Not everyone wants a kiosk long ipad taking up the dashboard.

The front Grill is uniquely designed and beautiful, i grew tired of most cars with the same honeycomb designed grill

I dont see anything online that says this was the best selling 3 row lux suv over the last 25 years that would probably be a toyota. But i will say that i own a 2013 and i love it things a beast

i found this car did a great job of being sporty with power that you could exploit on public roads. nowadays most sporty cars are not that fun to
drive rather they just make them so insanely fast. this car doesn’t have a ton of power but i was impressed with how fun it was to drive. great job acura - this coming from someone who really didn’t think much about acuras in the past 10-15 years.

You are an awesome reviewer. I appreciate your speech cadence. Precise delivery. I'm subscribed now.

Love the styling, love the interior, and that engine sounds lovely too ❤️❤️👏👏 it would be nice though if Acura could raise the power a bit, that’s the only minor problem I have

You are right about the 3rd row air vents. You have to run the AC on a higher mode to push air back there in the summer. A big mistake by Acura. They should also make the rear seats recline for comfort. I wouldn’t have minded an 8 seater. Acura should have put 3 seat belts in the 3rd row too. One really annoying thing about this model is it shuts off after 10 minutes of idling no matter what. You have to put the vehicle back in drive and then park again to reset that function. It is totally stupid. I have to wait for my kids when I pick them up from school and other functions. It’s so annoying. Definitely a digital rear view camera would be nice. The Lexus TX is nice with rear vents, reclining 3rd row and electric folding rear 3rd row seats.

Just bought a 2025 MDX Type S in lunar silver exterior with azurite blue interior.
It’s gorgeous and this vehicle is a beast.
Also keep in mind, this car can go to a regular Honda dealer if need be as opposed to the European cars which are so proprietary that regular maintenance will be much higher.

The startup sounds would drive me crazy, once is enough!!!

The silence was LOUD when you asked for google to tell you a joke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Must not be a morning person. Lol.

Love the video as always Sofyan, but at 30:15 you incorrectly state that the MDX is a naturally aspirated V6 but in the beginning you tell us that it has a turbo V6
