How much does the 2025 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 7.21% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,018 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $48,918.86, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX a good car?

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

The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

You’re looking at a refreshed three-row luxury SUV that leans into simplicity, sophistication, and refinement, with stylish design, comfortable accommodations, and easy-to-use technology. The trade-offs are clear: the standard V6 is somewhat underwhelming, and the third row is cramped. For you, that means the MDX makes the most sense if you want a polished family SUV and don’t need maximum space or electrified efficiency.

35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there’s still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX reliable?

The 2025 MDX is described as comfortable, refined, and reliable, with a reputation for polished everyday driving and straightforward controls. Its updated driver-assistance hardware also operates with improved accuracy and refinement, which supports the sense that this is a well-sorted SUV rather than a finicky one.

The standard powertrain is tuned for enjoyable driving dynamics, and the SUV is presented as satisfying for commuting and road trips alike. Acura also includes complimentary maintenance for the first scheduled 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 still lacks a hybrid option, so fuel costs can remain a persistent ownership drawback.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing higher-mileage examples or vehicles with premium wheels and tires. Focus on cabin condition, infotainment operation, and how the driver-assistance systems behave in real-world use, since those are central to the MDX experience.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model is nicely equipped, but the lineup adds Technology, A-Spec, Advance, and A-Spec Advance equipment, with the new A-Spec Advance blending maximum luxury with a sportier look. The base trim is the place where you’re most likely to feel feature gaps versus the better-equipped versions.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. SH-AWD is optional on the base and Technology trims and standard starting with A-Spec, while lower trims use FWD.
• Safety package: 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 the Technology trim, 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. It also supports over-the-air-style connected functionality through AcuraLink and includes an AT&T 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.
• Fuel efficiency: The A-Spec Advance is EPA-rated at 21 mpg in combined driving, and the review vehicle averaged 18.4 mpg on a test loop.

Which 2025 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• MDX: This is the value starting point if you want the refreshed design, the new touchscreen interface, and a well-equipped luxury SUV without stretching the budget. It’s the best fit if you want the core MDX experience and plan to add only the options you truly need.
• Technology: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment, including front and rear parking sensors and low-speed automatic braking, while also unlocking the upgraded Bang & Olufsen audio setup. If you want the smartest balance of features and price, start here.
• A-Spec: Choose this if you want a sportier look and standard SH-AWD. It adds more visual presence and a more performance-flavored feel without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• Advance: This is the comfort-focused choice if you care most about a more upscale cabin and added luxury touches. It suits you best if you want the MDX to feel more premium on daily drives and road trips.
• A-Spec Advance: This is the most luxurious and sporty-looking non-Type S option, combining the richer equipment of Advance with the sharper appearance of A-Spec. It’s the right pick if you want the most complete mainstream MDX package.
• Type S Advance: This is the performance flagship, with the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, the highest-output setup, and AcuraWatch 360. Choose it only if you want the strongest acceleration and the most advanced driver-assistance package.

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 market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,018 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.21% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $48,918.86, 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 $48,923 sits slightly below last year's $52,725.

That price movement suggests the MDX has softened enough to help you buy more selectively today. If you’re a future seller, that also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim choice rather than assuming the market will stay elevated.

Because the current average is below last year’s level, you may not get the same exit price if you sell soon after buying. A well-kept example with desirable equipment should still hold up better than a base vehicle with higher miles.

Is the 2025 Acura MDX safe?

The 2025 MDX carries over a five-star overall rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 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 the Technology trim, 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 standard AcuraWatch system performed well in testing, though the lane-departure warning can feel a bit odd, and the lane-centering system can feel unnatural when used without adaptive cruise control.

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 93.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.21% compared with last year.
• The refreshed cabin and new touchscreen make the MDX easier and more appealing to live with.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $42,466, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $48,923 average.
• It’s a well-rounded luxury SUV with strong engines and sharp handling.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It keeps the refreshed formula while changing only slightly.
• It remains comfortable, quiet, and good to drive.

The bottom line: If you want the most up-to-date MDX experience, the 2025 is the better primary path because the refresh improves the cabin and technology in meaningful ways. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter secondary path because it delivers much of the same core MDX appeal for less.
