The 2025 Acura MDX Type S Is A Sporty Family SUV For Parents Who Love Driving

[@andrelima5124]

@@Liberalhunter89 every other competitor secretly has the German or Land Rover maintenance tax meaning extra $10k for repairs lol. So this will in the long run cost less. But I think it's $5-$8k too much if we compare it to stuff like the Lexus TX. But mid level luxury and high end models of mainstream companies are already hitting 60-70k.

[@SimonGonzalOS]

@@MercOne it is too expensive by $5-$8k I didn't say it wasnt. But my point is the Germans are even more expensive. And their maintenance is extra money on top. I have relatives who bought luxury cars and them maintenance bills are crazy. I bought a top of the line Toyota (even though I could got a Lexus) and ended up only really paying basic maintenance for a car nothing big or significant. Those bills add up on the Germans and land rovers. That's why you lease them and why they depreciate worse than Toyotas LOL.

[@UchihaTradesX]

I test drove every competitor within this segment before buying my 2025 MDX Type S. Like many in the comments I was intitially quite skeptical about the price based on what I was buying. But after test driving everything and looking into the cost of maintenance as well, it was hard to beat the overall package this car offered.

I just spec'd an X5 xDrive40i exactly as I would order it and it came in at just under $80k with destination. While I understand that ownership cost is not purely initial cost, for only $3k more I'd seriously consider the BMW option, though I admit I don't need 3 rows. I'd argue nobody buying this NEEDS 3rd rows or they'd be getting something larger. Go rent a minivan for the rare occasion you'd have a 3 row need, and the rest of the time enjoy your BMW. The other thing that would swing perception is long term ownership which I'm going to go on a limb and say the people keeping cars 20 years are not generally the people dropping $80k on a Type-S. Could be wrong, but that's my gut.

I’m a fan of the massaging seats and the fact that both front seats have it. Genesis needs to upgrade to full massage and put it in both seats. The driver’s display is giving Civic to me. Love the bench option in a people hauler👍. It’s a nice enough looking vehicle but I don’t feel anything when I look at it and for it to be a Type S model I feel like it needs more oomph. Something at this price should definitely had ventilated seats in the rear. I feel like the seats are a bit bulky too. Trimming the seats a little may open up a bit more room. I sat in one of these in 2023 and it didn’t feel particularly roomy. I was so put off that I didn’t even drive it.

Its still half a second slower 0-60 than even the base X5 B58. But otherwise the MDX is quite and actually handles as nicely as comprable X5 models

[@mijmic]

According to BMW's website, the 2025 X5 x40 (B58) does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. Per Acura's website, the 2025 MDX Type S does 0-60 in 5.5. So, according to basic math, that equates to 2 tenths of second. If this reviewer's 5.29 fastest time was accurate, that places it right there with the X5. For what it's worth, I'm currently in the market and I'm deciding between both of these vehicles and have test driven each twice. Accordingly, I may have noticed only a slightly quicker straight line acceleration in the X5, but nothing of significance by any means in my opinion. Both handled nicely and closely paralleled each other in that regard. The X5 prices out (apples to apples option wise in comparison to the Type S) at over $9k more per online build.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

​@@mijmic Germans severely underestimate 0-60 times. Caranddriver tested a 2019 X5 xdrive40i and got 4.9 seconds. They also tested a 2020 BMW X6 xdrive40i and got 4.7 seconds. The X6 is the coupe version of the X5 so basically the same car. Mind you these were older versions with the 335hp and both the X5/X6 weigh the same or more than a MDX Type S. The current new X5/X6 make 375hp and even more torque. Caranddriver has not tested the latest X5/X6 with the updated engines but they did test the BMW X7 with the latest 375HP engine. Guess what? It did 0-60 in 4.6 seconds! The X7 weighs 700lbs more than the X5/X6! Simple math suggests 4.5 seconds or less 0-60 for the latest X5/X6 under caranddriver's testing methods. FYI caranddriver also tested the MDX Type S and got 5.4 seconds. Any way you slice it the X5 is notably quicker in ideal conditions. Also it's a much more efficient. A new X5 xdrive40i is rated 23/25/27 rated for while the MDX Type S is rated for 19/17/21. The X5 weighs more and has a larger frontal area as well. It's kinda embarassing when Acuras top of the line 70K+ car still can't compete with a base BMW X5 when it comes to performance. Now yes, comparably equipped the MDX cost up to 10K less. I'd probably choose the MDX myself too but the performance of the MDX is not very impressive.

@naveenthemachine Oh Creep, How About Durango SRT Hellcat Compete with it

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

That MDX still looks amazing every time I see one on the road. Even after several years, I still think this is one of the best looking luxury SUVs on the market. Only thing is that Acura should have turned up the power on that 3.0L turbo V6. 355 HP is good power but I think Acura should be turning up the power to at least 400 HP. But it’s still good performance for what it is. I mean the MDX Type S isn’t a full on X5 M competitor but I don’t mind that.

Lexus tx cnt compare with this in size.

[@josephtullis9313]

If they would just add electrification at no additional cost, I'd probably consider it.

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

80k for an Acura is like paying 50$ for fast food. The value isn’t there

[@touayaaj84]

What mid size SUV is great for a passenger princess, comfy, but sporty enough and fun to driver as a chauffeur for long distance? Asking for a friend 😅.

[@moondog3056]

Why is the mpg so bad? My pickup gets way better mileage

[@1KWU1]

Do not agree on hybridization, will lose all the feel you are experiencing just need to increase boost with a tune

[@saranrathakrish8468]

I would get a cayenne, x7 or gls over this

[@naveenthemachine]

An x7 or cayenne with no features Once you add options the price delta will grow significantly

[@Coupe-sy9nk]

Good 4 you

[@gtl1010]

Other competitors, BMW, Mercedes, etc. have a mild-hybrid solution that helps improve fuel economy. At 17 mpg in the city and almost $80K, I'll pass. Plus 0-60 at 5.3sec is a huge disappointment.

First like and first comment 😊

[@gabrieldetwiler7078]

Honestly better off getting an explorer ST

[@TomBreyfogle]

Brake torque guy

[@W.T.F.7777]

Go get a Pilot... lol😂😂😂

[@jasonknowledge8824]

I'm clueless about why someone wants a sports SUV? it's an oxymoron. Low slung and svelte are words that describe a sports car. Not bulbous and frumpy. It's a great looking design but it's still just another SUV.

[@jnegooyen]

Cos dad life should not interfere with fun.

[@sysadmin76]

My BMW X3M Competition can do circles around many sports cars and I get added versatility of an SUV. My neighbors freak out when I drift out onto the main road.

[@jasonknowledge8824]

@jnegooyen is that why Ferrari went mainstream? Because people who buy Ferrari and Lamborghini want their children in back while they do 0-60 in 3 seconds?

[@bbbt8090]

If your a Dad that can only afford one car, you want a sporty suv lol.

[@jasonknowledge8824]

@sysadmin76 Like a rampaging elephant! After all elephants can run fast too! But I'd rather be a fast cheetah than a fast elephant. Shamu is barreling down the road again! Needs way more lane space than a two seater. You almost need a landing strip to safely maneuver Shamu.

[@fatpat4382]

Besides old school, dunno what else I can say….

[@saranrathakrish8468]

This could be a cheaper version of the Escalade V

[@LiHao8377]

Slow than x5 40i, mph is higher, 5k-10k cheaper, X5 still win. Is Honda really bad at hybrid?

[@melvinmezon1944]

What’s the difference between this video and the one you made 6 months ago?🤔 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXqYlaekpc5_Y7ssi=4vSg5ZG8AemGLICq

[@pennywright3]

So many better options at this price point. I have liked Acura over the years, but you have to admit, they innovate at a snails place. This interior could be from 5 years ago. Boring!

[@shirke01]

Why top speed 111mph on 2025 Acura MDX Type S

[@Coupe-sy9nk]

Ask acura

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

I do agree that top speed is a bit low, but honestly, you don’t need more than 110MPH unless you just going crazy and try to race everybody around you, and don’t care about the cops.

[@anthonyc3453]

So many words!
