@@chasetate7560 you do realize that 4 cylinder turbo engine in Lexus TX is T24A-FTS - which is inherently more reliable? Hybrid Max T24A-FTS in taxis in multiple metropolitan cities have mileages as high as 730k miles (1.168 million km!). J30AC Turbo V6 which is in this MDX Type S is nowhere near T24A-FTS in terms of longevity and reliability. I can understand if you are not a car guy and didn't know this.

@@oldtwinsna8347 yes, I have a performance hybrid in my 2022 Mercedes E450 All-Terrain wagon, which has a 42V Electric system, with an Inline-6 Twin-scroll Single-Turbo. The electric engine provides the torque fill, while the big turbo is spooling up, and then the big turbo takes over once the engine gets to the higher RPM ranges, resulting in a seamless and continuous surge of power/torque, throughout the rev/power band. In ECO mode, the engine yields over 35mpg during hwy trips. What the MDX lacks is a smaller Turbo, alongside the bigger turbo (a Twin-Turbo setup), with the smaller turbo functioning in the same role as the 42V system in the Mercedes system, and the larger Turbo taking over at higher RPM reaches.

I can tell those with negative comments have not driven it. I have owned a 2024 now for over a year and 28,000 km, and I am a car guy, and this Ultra is amazing. The comfort, power delivery, audio system ELS, air suspension. The fuel mileage is terrible and the pad is terrible for CarPlay. So I use Siri. A comparable German is $15,000 more. And not as reliable.

I DITTO some of your comments based on my 22 MDX Advance. The Trackpad is awful to me IMHO. It does force me to take my eyes off the road to "see" where the Cursor is in AA Mode (I have a Android phone). I use Alexa for specific instructions (works very well for sending NAVI info to the MDXs NAVI system - I need to try Alexa commands while in AA mode!). I also use the Steering Wheel and HUD controls to a certain extent to make selections. Moreover, I still have NOT experimented with the ShortCuts Icon on the main screen. Shame on Me for that "failure". Mine is a NON Type S. My lease is on an extension until Feb 2025 I am wrestling with a new 25 MDX Type S - pining for that HP/Torque , Air Suspension, Massaging seats, better Brakes (the Bembro brakes are superior to the brakes in mine), the new B&O soundd system (?) [there is nothing wrong with the 27 or 31 speaker ELS system in mine ] , and Sport + mode. But, Man the $$$$$$ is over the top. I'm 73 , retired. My wrestling act is to consider the Temptation to lease a new 25 MDX Type S or to Buy my 22 MDX Advance by Feb 2025 with a buyout price of $35,400 - with a max of 22K miles on the clock. PS.... The other problem with the TTIP system (Touch Pad) is that anyone who drives my car (wife, sons, etc) HATE that - have no clue as to how to use it!

And the ELS in the Ultra is more highly rated than the B&O that replaced it. Maybe trade in your leased 22, on a low mileage 2024. To save on the cost of a 2025? Is the new front end, terrible black seat inserts, yuck, and touch screen worth the extra $10,000 of a 2025?

People complaining about the trackpad crack me up. It isn’t a problem. You shouldn’t be messing around with a touchscreen while driving. I drive an RDX with it and have not had any issues using it. It has worked effortlessly with Apple CarPlay and really all I use is maps and music. Siri works great.

I've had 5 recent MDX's including the 22 and 24 MDX Type-S. The trackpad is horrible, especially with CarPlay. I've recently also had an M2 and M3, the BMW design with a touchscreen and control dial is fair superior to the touchpad. Acura knows, they dumped it in the 2025 for a reason. The MDX Type-S is still an overall fantastic SUV.

Great Review guys as always...I can tell that you both really Like the new 25 Type S MDX. No Satellite Radio is a Terrible decision and a Bummer. Forcing you to Stream Sirius/XM radio? Notwithstanding that, it is "winking" at me big time. My 22 MDX Advance lease expired in August - I extended it for 6 months and have the ability to buy my MDX now at $38,500 - reducing to $35,400 in February - only 22K miles on the clock. Competitors I'm also Considering are a Mazda 25 CX-70 Premium Plus Turbo S model, and Maybe a 25 Kia Sorrento (fully Loaded model). When I was in for service a few weeks ago, the salesman was "luring" me to lease a new 25 MDX Advance - of course a bigger Monthly payment ! I saw a Liquid Carbon Metallic but with the Orchid leather Interior on the floor - an A-Spec Advance model. It did Look very Sharp - I agree with Andrea, the Red Interior would wear on me into the coming months! Yes, Flashy with WOW factor but I think it would wear Thin with me a little later. My 22 MDX gas been totally Trouble Free, just changed fluids as needed and nothing else. It has been a terrific Vehicle EXCEPT for that that horrible Track Pad (TTIP) - after 3 years I still hate it. In AA Mode it becomes downright Terrible - a SLOW moving Mouse forcing me to take my eyes off the road. I counteract by using the Shortcuts Icon, Alexa, HUD and Steering wheel contriols. My only semi complaint is the Brakes are little too mushy - albeit one will get used to it.

@@kenfrankel3498 I honestly don't think it's about "more faith for the long term", If anything, Honda/Acura is known for its transmission failures and engine dilution issues (thankfully not in this V6 engine). Palisade/Telluride, in this case would be more reliable in the long run. Especially given that Palisade/Telluride has naturally aspirated V6 instead of turbo V6 - which is inherently more problematic and will create more issues for Acura owners. I think some people go with MDX over Palisade/Telluride for slightly better handling. Is it worth to overpay so much money for that? Not in my book, but I'm not going to tell anyone to not waste their money. It's their money, they can do whatever they want.

My wife and I were ready to buy the 2024 MDX S - until we test drove one with under 40 miles on it, and saw the finger smudges on the Black Piano (Know you to two too, were not fans:)!). We were 'ok' with that generations non touch screen, and both feel we'd have got used to the finger mouse know combo navigation. We were ready to walk, when the General Manager, who had spent several hours with us, as it's my nature, suggested I drop a few years and look at a CPO'd MDS Sport Hybrid Advance. We did, and after a long hunt, nabbed a 2020 that we are enjoying tremendously. 3rd Gen MDX's had the Split Screen combo, and other then non BT Apple/Android Auto - is treating us well. Rearview mirrors are easy to make comments after the fact. Here's another one that says 'Acura. You pulled the switch too soon on shutting off Hybrids!!! In 2020, our Sport Hybrid Advance - was Acura's flagship (Well, other then NSX...). Great comfort, good space, nice luxury features and a Blast to Drive. We have 'fun roads' that we never come out of Sport+ Mode on! And yet in Normal Mode, still a very poised long distance cruiser. Yes, the S - is faster, handles better, stops faster, eats more fuel doing so - and is a real value in this segment. We were OK, with the lower MPG of an S - and feel we're getting 95%+ of S performance with the Sport Hybrid Advance, and over the last 6K miles of ownership - our MPG is a solid 25.5... Even with 'spirited' driving at times! Would hope Acura is looking at a CRV Hybrid crossing back into the RDX. And really feel they should focus on Hybrids alone - over the next 10 years or so. Yeah, the ZDX should do OK - but frankly regardless of what Politicians have tried to dictate - the public is not ready to jump into full electric, yet... Sorry so long winded, but you hit my buttons with the S review - and feel we may have the same opinions on the timing of All Electric, vs a more gradual transition to that land... Hybrids rule! Best to you both - Smitty (San Diego and Yuma)

Please, explain why do you like that removable seat so much? Me personally don’t understand it. I prefer slide able, but usual second row with heating, ventilation. You have nowhere to put it, it is quite heavy. I’d prefer they had 2 variants to choose

If I couldn’t have gotten my hands on a Rav4 Prime at an excellent price like I did, the 2025 Acura MDX would’ve been my daily commuter vehicle. Yes, the Prime is a superior gas sipper and has 42+ of EV range, but I prefer the exterior, interior, and handling of the current MDX over the Prime.

How did you find the steering? We drove 2022,2023s and the steering seemed loose and non responsive. That and the piano black everything turned us right off and we loved our RDX!

Great review as always. With the 3.5TT engine, the better materials the Type S seems to be aligned with the Genesis GV80 3.5TT Advance. It's true that the Genesis has a smaller 3rd row, but aren't those SUVs very comparable? is interesting that you never compare the GV80 in this category. Also, are you guys testing the 25 GV80 any time soon?

Red is cool i find but overall i would have liked to see a more overhauled refresh, starting too look old news and i can’t see really a difference from older model. 90,651$ ………….. YIKES…….. way too much money, lexus is doing that too on their 500h (4cyl 😂) and 450h+(still a 4 cyl😂) im not paying 90k for that when i bought a 1.5 years old loaded, i mean loaded, x5 for just over 70k

I like the talk about the sound system as well. I know they came as a question, but please Include the stereo sound in all reviews. It’s kinda inconsistent. But I think this is just important. Nothing worse liking a car based on the review only to find out that music quality is not up to par. Overall love your reviews.

The S omits the spare but the other versions do get a spare. Those low profile tires are probably more susceptible to pot hole blow outs . I wonder if Acura is getting more feedback on this point ….

Nice review! Finally a touchscreen! What's amazing is how LONG it took Lexus and Acura to abandon their nightmare trackpads. Now Mazda is the last hold out. When will they lose the infotainment dial??? Straight touchscreen is simply better and safer.

I also hope Acura will do a Sport Hybrid MDX, the same fast or faster and more fuel efficient. RLX Sport Hybrid was brilliant, but had outdated infotainment system and interior and it was not the SUV! And previous MDX hybrid was not faster than usual one🤷🏻‍♂️. They should do it🙏🏼

Agreed big time. The MDX Sport Hybrid produced in 2018-2020 which did NOT sell well, would be a complete No-Brainer today! For an add'l $1800 (at that Time) it produced 315 HP / with circa 310lbs of Torque from the same 3.0L engine W/O a Turbo! MPGs were at least 30% better than the Type S and about 20% better than my 22 MDX (non type S). If Acura produced a 25 MDX Sport Hybrid in A-Spec model. I would Jump at it!
