I’ve had my 2025 mdx type s for 2 weeks now. Absolutely love the drive. It’s a day and night in term of getting up and go quickly, compared to my last 2022 aspec
My wife has a 2024 MDX A Spec in Pearl Red, and I have a 2024 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ e-4orce AWD 0-60 in 4.8 sec. It outperforms both her A Spec and my friend's 24 Type S. My Ariya drives better than both cars. I know EVs are different because of their instant torque. Night and day compared to my Ariya.
@@kingtuckgesus8879 I was just sharing my experience comparing the driving performance of my 2024 Nissan Ariya Platinum+ e-4orce AWD to my wife's 2024 MDX A Spec and a friend's 2024 Type S. I find that the Ariya, thanks to its instant torque as an EV, feels noticeably quicker and more responsive, making for a better driving experience overall. I understand that EVs have their own unique characteristics, but I wanted to highlight how the Ariya stands out in terms of performance.
I’ve owned the mdx type s now for a month and love it! I’ve owned x5’s, x6’s, and Range Rover/rover sport and it’s a blend of the soft air suspension ride of the rovers but when you put it into sport or sport plus the suspension lowers the car, steering tightens up, and it drives like a sports sedan. And the massaging seats are better than rover ones. It’s a steal for 76k when compared to similar optioned x5 at 90k or rover over 100k with Honda reliability! Highly recommend!!!sound system is superb!
@@gregchin6456I got 2500 off sticker but added the tow connection package to tow my motorcycle trailer and it was like 2k so yeah 76k. I traded in a 2021 ram 1500 long horn limited crew cab that was paid off and got 30k trade in credit.
My friend has an x5. We did a 2.5hr road trip and my ass and low back was killing me. The x5 seats are absolute shxt. I took my is350 for a 3hr road trip and didn’t have to stop once to stretch and when I got to my destination my ass/hips back felt fine. BMW are honestly all around pretty shitty cars. But the M are definitely special
While the price is high, this is a vehicle worth buying that will last for many years to come. The fantastic ICE, gorgeous exhaust, hood airflow design, interior quality, panoramic sunroof, great storage- it's just so well thought out that I can overlook the gloss black. It's even attractive under the hood for us women to enjoy looking at! While I don't care for SUVs because most look like bubbles or marshmallows, this is a fine vehicle. JMO.
Joe, you’re the best auto reviewer on the tube. Great review! If I could afford I’d buy this; been a Honda guy for a long time. Maybe after it’s been out a few years. Thanks for all you do!
Honda/Acura really know how to make good seats. I have an odyssey elite..and everyone’s always impressed with how comfortable my 2nd row is. I remember being a kid and seeing 1 of my father’s friends MDX interior and being amazed at how beefy his seats were compared to every other manufacturer. I will forever praise Honda/Acura for the added attention to detail with their comfort levels.
My GF had an older Acura TSX (TLX?) that had a strong 4 cyl, good handling and brakes. It was roomy and seats were supportive and comfy. Loved that car. Made me a fan of Acura. The dash was cleverly laid out, lighting helpful. Great car.
It seems to me that auto manufacturers need to come to the realization that at some point, cars are not big enough to add a 3rd row. You simply can't put a 3rd row in Fiat 500 no matter how much you may want a 3rd row. If you're going to have that many people in a car, they need to sit on each others laps, I've seen it many times.
Its amazing how Joe had the camera positioned so you couldn't see the MPH reading. :) I really like this interior but I'm awaiting the refreshed Pilot. I don't think it will be this nice, but it will be close(at lease the Elite).
@ledebuhr1 because all auto makers are going the turbo 4cyl.which will conk out at 100,000 miles and then you will have to get a new car..the high revolution will burn out the engine sooo much sooner than a ICE v6 naturally aspirated.And thank God they dont have the CVT !wheew..😮
I bought my RX500h Performance in September of last year and absolutely love it. While this looks good, I can't imagine getting rid of my Lexus. I just love it. Great review as always!
Type S better than stock. Hard to choose, the MDX Type S ($76k) vs. the X5 40i ($80k) Lexus RX hybrid is best deal at like $65-70k. Acura has No hybrid option, no bump in power for ‘25. Acura updates and remodels are glacially slow. Finally a 12” touch screen. Don’t need a 3rd row. (X5 doesn’t have it.) The only AC for back of MDX is the small vents in back of front console? That’s bad. Need an AC return in the cargo ceiling. Good performing SUV, well crafted at decent price.
I’ll stick to the regular MDX tbh, more reliable, doesn’t have low-profile tires that go flat easily on bad roads, and still drives amazingly, neither MDX is made for performance tbh, BMW X5 is def the way to go if you want performance (even the base X5 has strong performance especially when equipped with the M Sport Pkg), my mom has a 2023 Acura MDX Advance and my dad will be going from a 2020 Toyota RAV4 Limited Hybrid to a 2025 BMW X5 40i M Sport fully loaded later this year
The interior is spot on, that blue stands out and yes gloss black heavy. Aluminum dead pedals is nice also. Mazda needs to take a page out of Acura playbook and have a touch screen infotainment setup
There isn't much to complain about with this vehicle. It looks phenomenal. It has plenty of power. It has excellent reliability and build quality. Of course I would choose the TLX Type S but if you are in the market for an SUV. I would recommend this over a lot of other brands. ✌️
@@Freddy_Confetti it's plenty of power, exactly how much does one need toting their family around?? I see Ms/AMGs/etc. on the road, and they're all overwhelmingly doing the same thing: putzing 65-70mph in the middle lane.
Joe, great review as usual. I'm digging this new 25 MDX Type S. After watching this, I intend to exercise my right to extend the lease on my 22 MDX Advance which expires in August. Acura Financial will allow me to extend it at the current Monthly payment of $610 for up to 6 months and those payments will continue to reduce the residual Buyout form $38,500 (now) to $35,500 in January. My MDX has only 20K miles. Then in January I can either buy out my 22 MDX for $35,500 or "entertain" a new 25 MDX Type S, either lease it or buy it. Pushing $80K is Big Nut, leaing me to also consider the new upcoming 25 RDX A-Spec Advance. I think the new RDX will have the new Touchscreen InfoT. which is very Welcome. I don't really need a 3 ROW SUV ( I often wonder how many people actually use these 3 Rows - I never see it being used on the road) . The MPGs with Premium gas is also another consideration for this 72 YO retiree. PS...Im liking this Urban Greay Pearl color. FWIW, my 22 MDX has been outstanding - no problems other than a now and again Gremlin that affects the Auto Entry / Exit function - where it does not respond to move the seats and Steering wheel into the preset position.
Joe, Going from a GX460 with excellent air conditioning in 100° parked in the sun, after a test drive in a 24 Type S; the air condition was weak. Your thoughts? Thx Lou
can you put 19 or 20 inch wheels on it to get rid of the 40 series to go to 50 or 55 series rubber much better ride and better for winter driving because of the choice of snow tires and All Weather not all season ones ???
Really nice looking ride. I'm not going to the track but that top speed is hilarious. For nearly $80,000, how does it only have FRONT Brembo brakes? ZONK! Where are the rear ventilated seats? ZONK! Really nice vehicle but the Macan top speed is far higher and the RX has rear seat ventilation.
Acura has finally nailed the interior. Great to see the touch bad gone and get the touch screen. Love the new center stack and center console layout. And yeah, that blue leather is super nice. I really hope they carry this over to the 2025 TLX Type-S. Thanks Joe.
I don’t see how the RX compares. The MDX is much bigger inside both for passengers and literally double the cargo space of the RX. This competes with the TX 500h+ more than the RX.
@@RaitisRides Same Honda chassis. Same J series engine. Same transmission. Same wheelbase. Dimensionally similar within an inch (other than height). Both all leather with panoramic sunroof. Both built by Honda. Pretty comparable.
I crossed shopped them and got the Pilot. I did like the MDX A-spec better overall, but at the end of the day I didn't think it justified the additional $10K. And another $10K more for the Type-S while enticing, was too much for just 70hp. I think the Type-S engine should be the base engine for all of the MDX A-spec ($60K price) and above. I would've paid $10K more for the nicer A-Spec with an additional +/- 70HP, but not $20K. We're not even talking about a 100+hp.
@@mwinner101 only comparable if you're comparing the BASE version, the type-S has many things you can't find in a Honda: turbo-six (no, it's not just a turbo version of the base), air suspension, massaging seats, sound system, etc...
Beautiful, and well thought out engineering in the engine bay. Very clean, and well optimized. For the price, the interior isn't to my liking; too much plastic. That gloss black always turns me off instantly. Scratch too easily. Micro ones. But that engine is beautifully done. Mercedes I feel really offers the best visual and comfort experience out of them all.
Raiti the title says 2025 but you have called it 2024 multiple times in the video. I’m confused, what year is this? Btw, you drove on the 5 where I commute back home from work lol talk about real world application..this suv is one of my favorites
I feel every review is the absolutely highest decked out trim of this car. The base n tech versions are like 53-57 before discounts. Good revues regardless
Nice acura TypeS but when i heard u said the Gas mileage scare me haha 17-21mpg I willing go with Lexus rx500h hybrids 2.4L+turbo+hybrids=362hp 27-28mpg. Not bad at all… 😅

Good morning Joe and Steven. I have a suggestion. I love your format and flow but think adding a section of still images of the key angles would be awesome, and so I no longer have to harass Steven. Just a thought. Great vid as usual guys 👍
@@RaitisRides shoot, it cut off half of what I wanted to say. I meant to say “It’s refreshing to see blue interior in a sea of boring black that plagues every modern vehicle. The gloss black needs to go, but that trend seems to be on the majority of current luxury vehicles.
@@CarGeek360 well, air suspensions and turbo motors are definitely more complicated components. The bigger picture is both are notably more reliable than euro-counterparts.
@@MixedG80 idk a X5 40i is probably going to be more reliable than a MDX Type-S, the B58 engine in the X5 40i seems to be more reliable than the J30AC motor in the MDX Type-S, on top of that the MDX Type-S has air suspension unlike the X5 40i and air suspension is never reliable in the long-run, the non Type-S MDX would be the most reliable in it’s class as it’s pretty much a luxury Pilot with the same internals, which equates to stellar reliability and low maintainence costs, the J35 N/A V6 in the non Type-S MDX, Pilot, and Odyssey is one of the most reliable engines ever produced, even the Lexus and Infiniti products are getting less reliable now as they are ditching larger N/A engines in favor of smaller turbocharged engines, thankfully Acura hasn’t done this with the MDX (yet)
If you're concerned about the price then buy you a Kia or something at this price it offers you more than the competitors it's a good price and people who can afford it are not complaining 🤷🏽

🐟 🐠 🐬
No sea world for us Tom! LOL
Yes, way better than an X5 base model.
I agree with you!
Nice Joe.
I am glad that you like this one Manuel!
If I had the money and I was buying to keep, I’ll go with this Acura.
Yeah but the Genesis GV70 Sport 3.5 has twin turbos and 375 HP 0-6- in 5 sec.
@@EdgarJChavez He said "buying to keep". That Genesis is likely a lease.
9:15 I hope that whenever the baby the customer is having grows up we can see Joe do a review of a car that would be good for the kid when he can drive
LOL
Keep the lore going
Got mine 🎉
Good morning Joe and Steven. I have a suggestion. I love your format and flow but think adding a section of still images of the key angles would be awesome, and so I no longer have to harass Steven. Just a thought. Great vid as usual guys 👍
Thanks for the feed back! I will discuss with Steven.
Me & My Family Have A 2016 Acura MDX That We’re Taking In December To Mexico & Leave It Over There👍👏🚙💨🇲🇽!!!
76k is wild. Nevermind 😢
acura are out of their minds. the mdx is way overpriced.
@@TMS5100🤦🏽
That car Looking good
You have good taste Jerome!
go, but that trend seems to be on the majority of current luxury vehicles.
This is a good point Erik!
@@RaitisRides shoot, it cut off half of what I wanted to say. I meant to say “It’s refreshing to see blue interior in a sea of boring black that plagues every modern vehicle. The gloss black needs to go, but that trend seems to be on the majority of current luxury vehicles.
Waiting on that Hyundai Ioniq 5 N on throttle.
I got the opportunity to drive this car on the job the other day I'm a valet driver by the way
The front grills around the fog lights looks like so added on come on Acura you can do better than that, the 2024 front end looked so much better.
“ON THROTTLE!!!!’ “
let's do this!
Nice car but at that price I’m going with the X5 PHEV50e my daughter have the MDX and its a nice car.
The TLX type S now the MDX..... can't afford either one 😢
Comfort and reliability 2025 MDX Advance Trim beats everyone and better pricing too! A slam dunk trifecta!😃👏
True and the regular MDX is more reliable than the Type-S
@@CarGeek360 well, air suspensions and turbo motors are definitely more complicated components. The bigger picture is both are notably more reliable than euro-counterparts.
@@MixedG80 idk a X5 40i is probably going to be more reliable than a MDX Type-S, the B58 engine in the X5 40i seems to be more reliable than the J30AC motor in the MDX Type-S, on top of that the MDX Type-S has air suspension unlike the X5 40i and air suspension is never reliable in the long-run, the non Type-S MDX would be the most reliable in it’s class as it’s pretty much a luxury Pilot with the same internals, which equates to stellar reliability and low maintainence costs, the J35 N/A V6 in the non Type-S MDX, Pilot, and Odyssey is one of the most reliable engines ever produced, even the Lexus and Infiniti products are getting less reliable now as they are ditching larger N/A engines in favor of smaller turbocharged engines, thankfully Acura hasn’t done this with the MDX (yet)
Oh shit, at the end you drove right by my old house on Gopher Canyon Road!
Love the MDX, but naked rear wiper...Zonk. Piano black dash...Zonk. $76K price? Zonk Zonk Zonk! Maybe a CPO in a few years.
refresh mdx on fire
Man wish the TLX got that screen
It is crazy that it did not.
Hopefully the next iteration of the RDX does! @@RaitisRides
I feel like that Steven comment was very personal... 😄
Betteridge's law of headlines. The MDX is overpriced compared to the competition. Acura are out of their minds.
If you're concerned about the price then buy you a Kia or something at this price it offers you more than the competitors it's a good price and people who can afford it are not complaining 🤷🏽
Love it
I am glad that I could bring it to you!
I’m torn between this and the Lexus RX 500h F sport😩😩
That is a tough situation to be in Mike!
Nice car Joe
I am so glad that you like this Type S version of the MDX Edward.
@@RaitisRides definitely
76k? Too much friend!
I need a 10yr loan to be able to afford it.😊
You are not alone in that feeling!
AC vents for third row are in the floor.
Bad place
