What's Changed On The New Model?
Acura Canada has unveiled a significant update for the 2025 version of the MDX, the flagship model of the performance brand and the all-time best-selling vehicle for Acura Canada.
The latest MDX now features improved styling, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google integration, a quieter interior, enhanced safety functions, and a premium Bang & Olufsen audio system.
All 2025 MDX trims showcase an updated, more assertive front fascia that owners say compliments the sleek design of Acura's signature four Jewel Eye® LED headlight elements and "Chicane" LED daytime running lights.
A sportier look is offered by the MDX A-Spec. It features a more aggressive front fascia, which also helps push air into the engine, and blacked-out exterior accents, A-Spec badges, and new 20-inch wheels.
Additionally, it boasts redesigned Berlina Black 21-inch split-spoke wheels with a machined finish. The Type S stands out from other MDX with its exclusive rear diffuser, large quad exhaust outlets, and red Brembo® 4-piston front brake callipers.
Excitingly, two new paint colours are now offered for the first time on the MDX: the all-new Canyon River Blue Metallic and Urban Grey Pearl, previously seen on the 2024 TLX.
Inside the Acura, customers will discover even more advanced technology and cutting-edge connectivity smartly integrated into the MDX for a premium cabin experience.
Every trim is now equipped with a new 12.3-inch touchscreen interface featuring Google built-in, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities are also standard.
Enhancing the new interface is a more functional center console that further elevates the cabin experience with increased storage and improved access to the standard wireless charging pad.
Each 2025 MDX boasts the latest generation of AcuraLink®, offering in-vehicle 4G LTE Wi-Fi compatibility, over-the-air software update capability, and a wide range of available cloud-based services, including emergency roadside assistance, remote locking/unlocking, and engine start.
Acura has long been renowned for its exceptional audio performance, and the 2025 MDX is the newest model to showcase an immersive audio experience crafted in collaboration with one of the world's top audio companies.
Two cutting-edge systems have been exclusively designed for the Acura MDX to enhance the in-vehicle audio experience with top-notch performance and sophisticated concert hall sound.
At the pinnacle of the MDX lineup, which includes the Advance Package, there is a brand-new 31-speaker luxury audio system.
Featuring 6 additional speakers compared to the previous system, it stands as the most potent Acura audio system to date, equipped with Acoustic Lens Tweeters, an 8.8" subwoofer, two amplifiers, 24 channels of power, and an impressive 31 speakers, including 12 integrated into the headliner.
The MDX Tech, A-Spec, and Platinum Elite A-Spec models are equipped with a new 19-speaker audio system that includes 16 channels with Acoustic Lens Tweeters and four headliner speakers.
These two custom Acura audio systems incorporate the latest 3D Sound Control, along with the brand's exclusive Beosonic™ feature and proprietary Acoustic Lens Technology.
The system is very user-friendly, incorporating a Beosonic™ one-touch sound control interface that empowers Acura MDX drivers to tailor a personalized in-car audio experience with four distinct audio moods.
The Acoustic Lens Technology helps to evenly disperse high frequencies in a 180-degree horizontal pattern while minimizing vertical reflections, enhancing the overall feeling of space and realism for all passengers, allowing them to perceive every note and subtle sound.
Additionally, brushed aluminum speakers engraved with the Bang & Olufsen logo further enrich the premium interior design of the MDX.
The Acura MDX establishes the standard for safety performance, both active and passive, as well as driver-assistive systems in the premium 3-row SUV category.
This is achieved through Acura's ACE™ body structure, cutting-edge front passenger airbag technology, and the comprehensive AcuraWatch® suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies – all of which come as standard features.
The updated AcuraWatch® 360 is now standard on select trims and comes with enhanced hardware.
This includes a revised front long-range millimetre wave radar positioned behind the Acura emblem, an upgraded front camera located at the top of the windshield, fresh millimetre wave radars at each corner, and a new steering wheel touch sensor.
Collectively, this hardware facilitates a range of new driver assistance features, such as:
AcuraWatch® 360 hardware enhances existing driver assistance and collision avoidance technology, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with smoother acceleration and deceleration, a longer-range blind spot information system (BSI), and a more capable Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS®).
For 2025, the standard AcuraWatch® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies on other MDX grades has been updated for enhanced performance.
It includes expanded functions of a new front single-lens sensor camera with higher detection accuracy and a new front-end mounted millimeter-wave radar.
Both the camera and radar have a wider field of view.
The significantly more capable hardware improves collision avoidance performance by better recognizing attributes of objects, such as vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, white lines, curbs, and road signs.
In the rear, the blind spot information (BSI) system's warning range has been increased, enabling Lane Change Alert.
This feature can help alert the driver to detect vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes.
Also standard on every MDX for 2025 is a new rear seatbelt reminder system.
It uses visual and audible cues to notify the driver whether rear seat occupants have buckled or unbuckled their seatbelts.
At the core of the Type S is the Turbo V6, a 24-valve, dual-overhead-cam 3.0-litre engine unique to the Type S model.
It boasts direct injection and a single twin-scroll turbocharger, delivering 355 horsepower (SAE Net @ 5,500 rpm) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE Net @ 1,400 – 5,000 rpm).
This engine was meticulously crafted by the company's most skilled powertrain engineers, some of whom have been part of championship-winning motorsports programs.
As the most high-performing MDX to date, the turbocharged Type S is equipped with a sport-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission, double-wishbone front suspension, Brembo® front brakes, and the Type S-exclusive Sport+ driving mode.
Power is efficiently managed through Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system with genuine torque vectoring, a feature also found in all MDX models.
This rear-biased system can allocate up to 70% of torque to the rear axle, with the ability to send 100% of that power to the outer rear wheel.
Whether you drive the 401 every day or need a reliable grocery-getter, the 2025 Acura MDX's cutting-edge technology and seamless blending of refined style with performance make it an excellent choice.
From its more assertive exterior to its quieter, more connected interior and the thrilling performance of the Type S Ultra, the updated MDX solidifies its position as a leader in the premium SUV segment.
