If you liked the 2004 MDX, you will love the 2005 MDX! It remains pretty much the same with the exception of standard XM Satellite Radio. The Vehicle Stability Assist system was also improved, making a vehicle already known for its advanced safety features even safer.
The engine remains a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 265 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. Estimated mileage remained the same as well, at 17 city / 23 highway, although drivers of this vehicle have given such wide-spanning estimates as 13/17 to 20/25 - it all depends on if you have had the lead surgically removed from your foot, I guess.
The 2005 MDX is similar to its non-luxury cousin, the Honda Pilot. However, it delivers a much tighter suspension, as well as many standard features that cost extra in the Pilot, such as leather seats, a sunroof, and wood trim.
Drivers of this vehicle laud it for being very mom-friendly, with ample cup holders to hold sippy cups, water bottles, or those containers of sweet potato treats the little ones love. All drivers also seem to love the temperature controls, including bun warmers in the front seats, and temperature controls in the back.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Acura MDX rave about its reliability, comfort, and spacious interior, making it an excellent choice for families. Many appreciate its smooth driving experience, especially in different weather conditions, as well as features like the DVD player for entertainment. However, some drivers have expressed concerns about fuel economy and the costs of maintenance, which can be on the higher side."
unbreakable. super reliable suv. great comfort. large, large interior!
January 9, 2023Great SUV, impeccable condition except the hit on the lid of the trunk that still opens and closes. Low miles, garage well kept, good tires, it is a steal. Highly recommended.
May 8, 2021handles the back country like a true 4x4 and not a pricy knock off like Lexus and infinity. also tows like there is nothing there. interior is great and very spacious. handeling on the freeway is amazing and it really moves when you need to get on it.

September 14, 2014Great family SUV, tons of goodies. Luxury without paying an arm and a leg! Gas mileage was just OK, but apart from that this is a great vehicle for our family - tons of "utility." Loved the DVD player to keep the kiddos occupied.
February 25, 2013We bought this vehicle used in 2011. It had around 48,000 miles on it. We have had to get numerous things fixed on it, which are the following: right rear door lock actuator, drive belt, rear shocks, one rubber muffler hoist, one heated seat light switch lamp, and an oxygen sensor. We didn't have a warranty since it was expired, so we had to pay out of pocket, but other than that, this vehicle has not stopped working and has gotten us from A to B every time. The key, as with anything: if you hear, see, or smell a problem, investigate and fix it yourself or get it fixed so the problem will not escalate into a bigger situation. We also drove this SUV to the Grand Canyon and other cities in Arizona, Sante Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico, Alabama to EL Paso, Texas 2 times, and Alabama to New York and back without any major problems, just a light on the dashboard saying routine maintenance due. Recently there was a recall on the ignition switch, so it was replaced for free by the dealership.
February 7, 2013I love how it handles and drives especially in the snow. Third row seat is great. Mpg is not bad at all. Road noise is better than Lexus. Only bad thing was my DVD went bad and I had to replace it
July 27, 2012The car is great in many ways. We bought this car with navigation and a dvd player. Has built in heated seats and the are also very comfortable. The color of this car is also very nice. Including the driver you can fit 7 people in this car. Acceleration is smooth as well as breaking. WE bought this brand new at around $40,000 or so. This car great for road trips and just driving around in.
September 11, 2008I love my Acura MDX! It handles really good in Kansas snow! Plenty of space in the rear and trunk area. The third row seat is comfortable but not a lot of leg room for bigger people. I love having the DVD player for the kids but the screen is a little small. The only draw back is the fuel mileage for city driving. My mother-in-law bought the same car but a 2006 (no differences from 2005) and loves it too!
April 23, 2014i love that even after all my husband put it through it runs like a champ. ran over a huge tool doing 60 mph broke shock got hit in back replaced catalytic converter still drives like new. looks great with mirror tint from my husband prof. window tinter and paint protection.
September 11, 2013Great Ride...lots of gadgets..could do better with a little more power....bose music system ROCKS. Maintenance is quite expensive, looking at approx $1000 for major 10000miles service..with minor works. Overall its worth every penny.. Acura is the Best
