- The 2025 Acura MDX Type S sees its starting price rise by $6955 to $76,300 due to the newly standard Advance package.
- Base prices increase by between $750 and $2355 across the rest of the MDX lineup, which benefits from myriad updates for the 2025 model year.
- The MDX A-Spec now shares styling bits with the Type S, and for the first time it can be paired with the Advance package, with the new combo starting at $69,350.
The 2025 Acura MDX just got a minor refresh, and now the company has released pricing for the entire lineup. While most trim levels see a modest price hike, rising between $750 and $2355 compared with the prior model year, the higher-performance MDX Type S now starts at $76,300—nearly $7K more than before.
The reason for the sizable increase is that the 355-hp Type S now comes standard with the Advance pack that was previously optional. The list of equipment includes fancier features such as 16-way power-adjustable front seats with massage functions, a head-up display, a heated steering wheel and second-row seats, Milano leather upholstery, and a surround-view camera system.
As for the rest of the MDX lineup, the base model now starts at $52,250 (up $750), the Technology model now starts at $57,650 (up $1905), the A-Spec rises to $1405 to $62,850, and the Advanced rises $2355 to $67,350. Of course, all MDXs have a restyled front end, a new 12.3-inch touchscreen that finally ditches the finicky touchpad, and Acura added more interior storage space and improved the wireless charging pad.
For 2025, not only does the MDX A-Spec now share a fascia with the Type S, but it has new-look grille mesh and black body trim to go along with restyled 20-inch wheels. For the first time, the MDX A-Spec can be paired with the Advanced, which starts at $69,350 (almost the same as the base price for last year’s Type S). The newly available combo includes many of the upscale features found on the Type S, including curvilinear-quilted leather and massaging front seats.
Eric Stafford’s automobile addiction began before he could walk, and it has fueled his passion to write news, reviews, and more for Car and Driver since 2016. His aspiration growing up was to become a millionaire with a Jay Leno–like car collection. Apparently, getting rich is harder than social-media influencers make it seem, so he avoided financial success entirely to become an automotive journalist and drive new cars for a living. After earning a journalism degree at Central Michigan University and working at a daily newspaper, the years of basically burning money on failed project cars and lemon-flavored jalopies finally paid off when Car and Driver hired him. His garage currently includes a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si.
