    I personally think both the regular MDX and Type-S look better for 2025 (although the 2024 ones looked good especially with accessories) however it’s def not enough of an upgrade for it to be worth trading in a pre-facelift for a facelift at least imo, the Type-S MDX is the one to buy if you know you’re gonna be on good roads but if you’re constantly going on beat up roads stick to the normal MDX as the Type-S has low-profile tires (thinner sidewall = goes flat easier on bad roads)

    You say the tow rating for the SHAWD model is 5000 lbs. Did they change this from the previous model year? The only way you can get a 5000 lb tow rating on this vehicle is with an optional (costly) towing package that includes an Acura trailer hitch and auto transmission cooler. Without the dealer installed cooler the tow rating is 3500 lbs.

    Good review! No doubt it's a handsome vehicle, but it's truly hard to beat the Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy that'll cost you $10K less. And while the MDX has front massaging seats, the Caligraphy does have it for the driver along with some other creature comforts for the passengers. Another thing I prefer is the Hyundai uses regular gasoline, saving you under $10 each time you fill it up. Time will tell if and when these midsized SUVs get a hybrid option or the dreaded turbo four banger instead of the naturally aspirated V-6 engines that I prefer.

    I think its time Acura engineers reconsider the size of the MDX. The 3rd row is rather uncomfortable no matter what. If you want that many seats that are usable, you get a minivan. In the case of the MDX, the car has continuously grown in length but length adds to the driving experience in terms of agility and efficiency to make the driver feel immersive in the drive. I would be at creating a MDX that has room for 5, shorten the wheel base, this reduce current weight but still keep the width. 198.4 inches long can be shrunk down to 190-192 inches long. The 2ns row neesa dire attention to make the passant experience more upscale and luxurious. The RDX will never go back to a 6 cylinder, so the obvious choice will be the MDX and sure revisit all trims because nobody buys a MDX with basr or tech, most peole want the A-spec or the advance and revisit options to strengthen features within each model. The Advance model feels like a mid trim level refinement MDX, does not come across as luxury. I drove the 2023 brand new MDX and i was not impressed at all.

    They should have kept the touchpad as an alternate to the touchscreen. The touchpad had a wrist rest to eliminate mucsle fatigue. A touchscreen results in tired arm and shoulder muscles. Touchscreens accumulate fingerprints also. Blacked out lower body trim and wheel well trim looks better than body colored. Massage seats should have always been standard on Advance trim. I wish they had a rearview mirror cam to see better if the view is blocked by tall rear passengers or tall cargo.

    Nice but Tesla still remains light years ahead in vehicle autonomy although this is true of the entire Industry now. Been driving a 2024 Subaru trying out its vehicle autonomy systems and definitely has matured but still disappointing. Not a fan of anything that isn't a hybrid in the current market as well.

    ​​​​​@@darkivaz-aaa1145Not true. While they pulled ahead breifly, it was short lived. Keep in mind also, there are different aspects of reliability one must look at when evaluating a vehicle. The consumer reports and jd powers will look at customer complaints. Any issue is marked against it and affects its overall reliability. So it could be something basic like trim for example or something major like a blown transmission. Each is logged as a complaint and counts against the vehicle. Jd Powers has this ranked as problems per 100 vehicles. Toyota is #2 behind Lexus, while Hyundai has actually fallen below the study average. However, these reliability ratings generally have nothing to due with how long a vehicle may last. While Hyundai has come a long way on the shorter term reliability, (they've actually fallen off again recently and toyota has pulled ahead overall in this category) Toyota and Honda firmly trounces Hyundai in the expected longevity of their vehicles. Hyundai have shown to have significant and major issues past 100,000 miles while Toyota and Hondas will blow by 200,000 far more often that not with little issue.

    I do own a Honda, Hyundai, and a BMW. I love them ALL. These cars all are well built with an audience in mind. I look at Hondas as super reliable cars with great gas mileage but lack many luxury features. I look at a BMW as a powerful luxury car with lots of bells and whistles at a higher cost. My weekend car 😂. While I look at Hyundai as being a car that bridges the gap between luxury and reality with many features at an affordable price. To be honest you barely see cars now days on the side of the road with the hood open because the driver got stranded. I remember back in the 80s and 90s many cars were Juck to include Toyota, Honda, and of course the good old big three (GM, Ford, and Chrysler). Times have changed and cars are in a better place now.

    OK, the looks inside and out is a whole lot better. But for a Lux-Sport SYV there are some big misses: No ventilated 2nd row seat (standard on many other non-luxury SUVs now days) No 3rd row air vents???? WTF? My 2020 Pilot EXL has them - heck so did my 2105 Pilot! No turbo engine, no hybrid, no PHEV. In fact it is the same engine that is in the Honda Pilot (The MDX only improves by 5-points over Honda in both HP and torque - 285 vs 290 HP, 262 vs 267 torque) Yes I know, there are some people who still don’t know Acura’s are tarted-up Hondas and do not exit outside North America. I have leased two TLX’s in the past - a 2007 and then 2010 after having two Accords. But I went back to Hondas with a 2012 Crosstour because Acura was getting behind its bigger brother in features. Overall I like Acura, and the interior improvements on this MDX is good, but they still lag behind everyone else in the this class, and even many middle-class SUVs.

And yet, they want an astronomical price for this vehicle? Acura, you need to get it together and see what your other ccompetitors are doing to attract customers.
