How much does the 2025 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 7.82% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,046 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

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 refreshed MDX fits you well if you want a stylish, reliable, and safe three-row luxury SUV with simple controls, intuitive technology, and enjoyable driving dynamics. It also brings a more refined cabin and easier-to-use interface than before, which makes daily use feel less complicated.

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 it works better if you value comfort and sophistication over maximum passenger space or efficiency.

The market looks healthy, with 35.0% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX reliable?

The 2025 Acura MDX is presented as a stylish, reliable, and safe SUV with a refined, easy-to-use character. Its updated controls and technology are meant to simplify ownership, and the overall package leans toward durability and everyday dependability rather than complexity.

The standard powertrain is described as tried-and-true, with good power for a midsize three-row SUV and smooth, predictable behavior in typical driving. That kind of tuning usually matters to you if you want a vehicle that feels settled and easy to live with over time.

Acura also backs the MDX with a first scheduled maintenance visit during the first year or 12,000 miles of driving.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the MDX’s efficiency and third-row space limitations may become more noticeable over time than any major dependability concern.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.3% — 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 one 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, and the A-Spec Advance blends maximum luxury with a sportier look. The base trim also misses some of the richer equipment found higher in the lineup.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic, and SH-AWD is optional on the base and Technology trims before becoming standard on A-Spec.
• Safety package: AcuraWatch is standard and includes 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 system uses a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, Alexa Built-in, Google Built-in, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. The base audio system has 11 speakers, while higher trims get Bang & Olufsen setups with 19 or 31 speakers.
• Fuel efficiency: The MDX is not an efficient SUV, and the test vehicle averaged 18.4 mpg on a mixed evaluation loop. The A-Spec Advance is EPA-rated at 21 mpg in combined driving.

Which 2025 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• MDX base: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry price and a well-equipped starting point, including the new touchscreen interface and standard AcuraWatch safety tech.
• Technology: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more premium equipment, including front and rear parking sensors, low-speed automatic braking, and upgraded Bang & Olufsen audio.
• A-Spec: Choose this if you want a sportier look and standard SH-AWD, while still staying below the more luxury-focused upper trims.
• Advance: This trim is for you if comfort and upscale features matter most, and it benefits from the richer cabin treatment and added convenience equipment.
• A-Spec Advance: This is the right pick if you want the most luxurious version with a sportier appearance, combining the Advance content with the A-Spec style.
• MDX Type S Advance: This is the performance and feature flagship, with the strongest acceleration and handling focus plus AcuraWatch 360.

Starting with Technology, the SUV adds front and rear parking sensors and low-speed automatic braking, while AcuraWatch 360 is exclusive to the Type S Advance.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to compare listings and wait for the right example.

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,046 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.82% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $48,789, 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 $48,789 sits slightly below last year's $52,930.

That price movement suggests the MDX has softened enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you sell later, you may face a market that still rewards clean, well-equipped examples, but not one that is likely to deliver strong appreciation.

For you, that means condition and trim matter a lot. A well-kept MDX with desirable equipment should hold up better than a higher-mileage or lightly optioned example, especially if market pricing stays soft.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX safe?

The 2025 Acura MDX carries over a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, and the 2024 model earned the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

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

AcuraWatch is standard and includes 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 exclusive to the Type S Advance and adds front cross-traffic alert, evasive steering warning, active lane-change assist, and cornering speed assist.

One caveat is that versions with SH-AWD do not have a rollover resistance rating from NHTSA.

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:

• 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.82% 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 $42,288, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $48,789 average.
• It offers a well-rounded, comfortable, and refined package with a new Type-S trim.

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 appealing version of the MDX’s refreshed formula, the 2025 is the better 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.
