Acura’s bestseller is also its largest and most expensive model, the MDX three-row SUV, and for 2025, it gets a mid-cycle refresh. West Coast Bureau Chief Conner Golden is here to walk you through the updates, which include some very mild exterior styling updates — it’s fitting that a vehicle debuting in Los Angeles gets a subtle face-lift, right? Inside, Acura is ditching the True Touchpad Interface that required occupants to control the central display via a touchpad, replacing it with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Google Built-In. The AcuraWatch 360 safety suite gets some new features, too, but Acura is leaving the MDX’s powertrains untouched for now. Check out the full video for all the details and to see Conner enter The Matrix for a brief moment.
