Specs at a Glance
Acura's luxury SUV lineup ranks among the best on the market today. Drivers often find themselves choosing between the 2025 Acura MDX and the 2025 Acura RDX. While the MDX seats up to seven with its three rows, the RDX is ideal for families of five. Let's dive into how these two standout models measure up.
Performance
The MDX boasts a powerful V6 engine that puts out 290 horsepower, enabling it to tow up to 5,000 pounds. If you're looking for a more exhilarating drive, the MDX Type S features a turbo V6 engine that cranks out 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, but Acura's Super Handling AWD is available. This AWD system boosts traction and enhances the MDX's cornering ability.
Performance-wise, the RDX holds its own. Its turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 272 horsepower, providing plenty of punch while delivering better fuel efficiency than the MDX. Although the RDX has a lower towing capacity of 1,500 pounds, it comes standard with Super Handling AWD, unlike the MDX, which has it as an option.
Appearance
Whether you go for the MDX or the RDX, you'll turn heads wherever you go. Signature design elements like the Jewel Eye LED headlights and the Diamond Pentagon grille ensure a commanding presence on the road. Both models offer the sporty A-Spec package and a standard panoramic sunroof. While the RDX has 20-inch alloy wheels, the MDX offers even larger 21-inch wheels.
Features
The MDX and RDX are packed with advanced features catering to tech enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike. The RDX's Acura/ELS Studio 3D audio system is top-notch, but the MDX takes things up a notch with its available 31-speaker Bang & Olufsen Ultra Sound system. Heated front seats come standard in both SUVs, with optional ventilated seats for added comfort. Other available features include a head-up display, hands-free tailgate, and GPS-linked climate control. Both vehicles also come equipped with the AcuraWatch suite of advanced safety technologies.
