2025 Acura MDX Quick Guide | Latest Features, Trims, Colors

MDX Overview The Acura MDX has become a leader in the luxury three-row crossover segment because of its excellent value. It offers a winning combination of versatile seven-passenger seating and impressive cargo capacity. Slotting above the two-row, five-passenger Acura RDX in the brand's product range, the MDX provides an accommodating interior and excellent driving dynamics for a vehicle of its size. It also offers a more powerful, enthusiast-oriented Type S that enhances the prestige of the entire lineup in the same way that a BMW M or Mercedes-AMG model does. The Type S Advance, which is the ultimate MDX, is a terrific all-around vehicle with impressive acceleration and handling prowess.

With output ranging from 290 horsepower in the standard engine to 355 hp in the MDX Type S, the Acura stacks up well against competition.

Top marks for safety from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety mean this isn't just one of the most enjoyable three-row SUVs you can drive, it's also one of the safest.

The 2025 Acura MDX is available in six trim levels: Standard, Technology Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package, A-Spec Advance, and Type S Advance Package. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available. The A-Spec Package is the popular trim, but the base Standard is our pick as the best value.

In previous model years, the Acura MDX has been criticized for interiors that are less luxurious than the cabins of their key competitors. But Acura has stepped up its game with the current generation. Its aluminum- and wood-trimmed cabin is attractive and upscale without being over the top. A 12.3-inch digital instrumentation display lends a bold, modern touch and this year a new console design adds functionality. The standard panoramic moonroof gives the interior a bright, open feeling. Occupants in front and back have plenty of headroom and legroom. The under-floor cargo area behind the third row offers generous cargo space. The power tailgate with available hands-free access makes loading and unloading easier.

When it comes to cargo space, the MDX outdoes its rivals. With 18.1 cubic feet behind the third row, the MDX can accommodate seven occupants and their luggage. With the rear seats folded, cargo space expands to a whopping 95 cubic feet. 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the 2025 Acura MDX an overall safety rating of five out of five stars, with four stars awarded for frontal crash protection and five stars for side-crash protection. While it hasn't evaluated the 2025 model, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named the 2024 MDX as a Top Safety Pick+, its highest rating.

All 2025 MDX models are equipped with an impressive roster of AcuraWatch advanced safety and driver-assist technologies. That includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, road-departure mitigation, and blind-spot monitoring. The standard traffic jam assist works with adaptive cruise control to keep the vehicle in its lane and at a set interval behind a vehicle ahead. This feature is beneficial in stop-and-go conditions. Traffic sign recognition helps keep the driver abreast of the current speed limit. Rear cross-traffic alert is especially useful in crowded parking lots. The Type S Advance model features an expanded safety and driver assistive package called AcuraWatch 360, which adds active lane change assist, lane change collision mitigation, and front cross traffic warning. 

A range of deep, rich, monochromatic premium paint colors including Canyon River Blue Metallic, Lunar Silver Metallic, Majestic Black Pearl, Liquid Carbon Metallic, Performance Red Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, Apex Blue Pearl, and Urban Gray Pearl are available for drivers who demand a rich finish.
