How much does the 2025 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 9.16% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,182 listings available, which suggests solid inventory availability for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX a good car?

The 2025 Acura MDX earns an 7.83/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

The 2025 MDX fits you well if you want a refreshed three-row luxury SUV with simple controls, intuitive technology, and a comfortable cabin. It also brings a refined, upscale feel without becoming overly complicated, and the driving experience is described as enjoyable and easy to trust.

The trade-offs are clear: the standard V6 is somewhat underwhelming, and the MDX is not a fuel-efficient choice. The third row is also cramped, so if you need maximum passenger space or stronger efficiency, you may want to look elsewhere.

With 37.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX reliable?

The 2025 Acura MDX is presented as a stylish, reliable, and safe SUV with a refined cabin and straightforward controls.

Its standard powertrain is described as tried-and-true, with good power for a midsize three-row SUV and smooth, predictable behavior in everyday driving. The refreshed model also benefits from improved user experience and a quieter cabin, which supports the sense of long-term livability.

Acura also includes only the first scheduled maintenance visit during the first year or 12,000 miles, which helps early ownership costs a bit.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the MDX’s efficiency and third-row space may feel limiting over time if your needs grow.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Acura MDX?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or a trim with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, infotainment operation, and whether the vehicle’s features match the trim you’re paying for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model is nicely equipped, but higher trims add more luxury and convenience. The lineup also includes a sportier-looking A-Spec Advance, while the Advance and A-Spec Advance bring more upscale seating and a surround-view camera system.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic. SH-AWD is optional on the base and Technology trims, standard starting with A-Spec, and the MDX is tuned for enjoyable rather than thrilling driving.
• Safety package: All models include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and Traffic Jam Assist. Starting with Technology, you also get front and rear parking sensors and low-speed automatic braking.
• Infotainment: The new system uses a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Alexa Built-in and Google Built-in, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. AcuraLink connected services and an AT&T 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot are standard.
• Fuel efficiency: The A-Spec Advance is rated at 21 mpg combined, and the review vehicle averaged 18.4 mpg in testing.

Which 2025 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2025 Acura MDX is offered in 6 trim levels: base, Technology, A-Spec, Advance, A-Spec Advance, Type S Advance.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the value starting point, and it is nicely equipped for the money. You get the refreshed design, the new touchscreen interface, and the core comfort and safety features without paying for extras you may not need.
• Technology: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more equipment while keeping the MDX’s core strengths intact. It also unlocks front and rear parking sensors and low-speed automatic braking.
• A-Spec: Choose this if you want a sportier look and standard SH-AWD. It adds more visual presence while keeping the MDX’s easy-to-live-with character.
• Advance: This is the comfort-focused upgrade if you want a more premium cabin and more convenience features. It also benefits from the more upscale seating mentioned in the refreshed lineup.
• A-Spec Advance: This is the trim to choose if you want maximum luxury with a sportier appearance. It combines the richer equipment of the Advance with the A-Spec’s visual attitude.
• Type S Advance: This is the performance flagship, with the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 and the most advanced safety tech. It is the right pick if you want the strongest acceleration and handling in the lineup.

AcuraWatch 360 is exclusive to the Type S Advance in 2025.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Acura MDX?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,182 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.16% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $48,363, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Acura MDX's resale value?

The current average of $48,363 sits slightly below last year's $53,238.

That decline suggests the MDX has become more approachable for used buyers, which can help you enter the market at a better price. For a future seller, though, it also means you should expect some pressure on resale if the market continues to favor shoppers.

The year-round range also shows that values have stayed fairly contained, which can be a sign of steady demand rather than dramatic swings. If you buy well now, you may be able to limit your depreciation exposure compared with paying closer to the top of the range.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX safe?

The 2025 Acura MDX earns five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

All MDX models include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and Traffic Jam Assist. Starting with Technology, you also get front and rear parking sensors and low-speed automatic braking.

AcuraWatch 360 is new for 2025 and exclusive to the Type S Advance. It adds front cross-traffic alert, evasive steering warning, active lane-change assist, and cornering speed assist.

The main caveat is that the standard AcuraWatch system had a few quirks in testing, including one false lane-departure notification and trouble with a tricky T-shaped intersection. The lane-departure warning also uses a wobbling steering-wheel alert rather than a vibration.

Should I buy a 2025 Acura MDX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.16% compared with last year.
• The refreshed cabin and new infotainment system make the MDX easier and more appealing to live with.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $41,979, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $48,363 average.
• It is a well-rounded luxury SUV with strong engines and generous standard features.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It keeps the refreshed formula and remains comfortable, quiet, and easy to use.

The bottom line: If you want the most up-to-date version of the MDX’s simpler, more refined formula, the 2025 is the primary target. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter value play, while the 2026 makes sense if you want the same basic package with only minor changes.
