So $68k and some change for the Advance model...give it a year and they will be discounted. I'm in Northwest Chicago and remaining (2024) Advance models are around $5k off msrp and Type S 'Advance' models are around $7k off msrp. The closer we get to July (2025 model) release the higher the discounts...some of these models in my area have been on the dealer lots for up to 6 months.
i am not...Starting increase is $750. TYPE S Advance to Advance is $2.5K up. Why compare base TYPE S to Advance? The demand for Advance is higher, so Acura made it simple! Order advance and with the changes, the price increase is $2.5K. There is no more TYPE S standard, buy Advance or go drive Pallisade
If C&D can spin it one way, I don't see why Tony cannot spin it in the other.
I do not want to admit this, but Mazda CX-90 has successfully cut into the sales of MDX. I would suggest replacing Pallisade with CX-70/90, or Kia EV9(the lease deal is insane).

Bravo Well said...We all can spin it the way we want it....free forum
Jesus, 31 speakers. I think it’s safe to say we are well past the point of diminishing returns…which in other words means the MDX is wading farther and farther out of the premium space and into luxury territory, as befitting of the flagship.
Though, gatekeeping it behind the Type S badge is kind of odd, since Type S is marketed to be all about performance, no?
Has anyone recently compared the 2024 MDX Type S Advance with the 2024 BMW X5 40i-Xdrive (fully loaded)? Looking at the price, BMW comes to 70k well equipped vs Type S MDX... not trying to start an argument, but seriously ask: if someone did compare these two, why Type S makes more sense?
I have been Honda/Acura owner since 2007 and yes reliability is there, and also retention value is horrible on Beemers - but outside of those two things, what else works in favor of Type S?
My opinion is that even Type S is a heavy underperformer for the price paid...

$70K sounds very low for a well-equipped X5 40i xDrive. Base price itself is $70K and it doesn't include many of the safety/driver assistance features that come standard on the Acura. I think closer to $80K is what you would pay for the X5. But BMW has a numb steering. My RDX is more fun to drive than my 2015 328i was. When you load up the BMW, it might be a better car than the Acura but it will cost big time. Nothing beats Acura in terms of value.

Simple. The Type S badge. Years from now no one is going to be looking for the BMW but those Type R owners will probably be looking for used Type S’s…. Don’t know. Having owned my 15 Advanced for 10+ years I can also point to it possible lasting longer if you decide to keep.
X5 is the better, more well-rounded car to be honest. Especially the tech has pulled further away from MDX-S after mid-cycle refresh. But MDX-S is close enough, has the 3rd-row flexibility, and will always be cheaper to maintain than a BMW. It is a great alternative for people who like Acura, especially when the few remaining MY24 are on clearance now.
Redline reviews in real world driving…6.1 seconds to 60…yikes that’s slow.
His numbers have been all over the place (IIRC he had the RDX at 5.7), so it’s probably not that bad. That said, the motor (now that the Touchpad is finally dead) is the weakest part of the car. The rest of the car is really good, but that motor really should have been the base motor, not the performance one. Consider that the X7, which is 700lb heavier, also has a turbo-six as their base motor, except it’s about 20% better on fuel and hauls it to 60 in under 5s. And that’s not even their performance trim. When I test drove the MDX Type S, my feeling is that this is an appropriate amount of power for a midsize luxury crossover. However, that also means as a performance luxury crossover, it’s underpowered.

My 2015 is 6.5, I have a Ford Lightning with a 0-60 in 3.8. Guess how often I try out that 0-60....... My 2015 MDX is great all around while being low on maintenance cost. There are plenty of faster SUV's out there, and again, in my opinion, the Type S badging just takes it up a notch for me.

I own a 2024 Type-S. When shopping for a new car, I wanted an X5, spent two weeks at the BMW dealer pricing what I wanted. Here in Canada the Beemer was 128,600 dollars, had to get driving package to get adaptive cruise (a must for me). One day I dropped in to Acura dealer and they had a Tiger Eye coloured one in the show room. 89,000 dollars and it was mine. No regrets. The Bemmer is more prestigious but...

89k CAD is about $65k USD. Not bad for a Type S! Personally I would have gone for a MY25 MDX to avoid the TrueTouch but to each their own!

Congrats! You will be happy in short and long term! You saved yourself headache and money

Nice move! I think you got the more standout car and something you can actually keep for a while without headaches. Where I live anyway, BMWs are ubiquitous and they all blend together. I've seen maybe one or two Tiger Eye MDX in the wild.
Elin, actually that is a very Good Point !. Now that Acura has Gone to a Touch Screen, that IMHO produced a Hit to the previous Models. I'm on a lease extension for my 22 MDX Advance until February 2025. I can buy mine for $35.400 (down from $38,500 now as of August 20) - only have 22K miles on it by Feb. I toyed with a new 25 MDX A-Spec Advance - lease - when I had in for service in late July. I originally thought I had at Least $5-6K In Equity based on resale prices I saw on local Dealer Lots for Low Mileage 22 Advances. But Nope. Dealer tells me the prices are Dropping for Used cars - no real equity To Them. So I said forget it for now. We will see in the months ahead. They may get Hungry in January at te end of the Month. Note to self, Always make your car deals on the last day of the Month!! Yeah there is a $1K Loyalty Monies and I could Roll my extra miles of 10,000 leftover on my 22 into the new lease which would priced with 7500 miles per year. But I may take the Dave Ramsey Route - own the car! BTW, My 22 MDX has been 100% Trouble Free - leased in August 2021 very soon after they released the new redesigned MDX (which I Truly Like, saving Love for people).

fiatflux, I don't understand your question? Are you referring to the Lease % interest rate on the original lease? It was 1.9% at the time of orgination - which was continued on the extension of the lease. The Buyout (the Future Value or Residual Value) continues to be reduced during the 6 month - 1 Time Lease extension granted by Acura Financial. Hence the Buy Out price being reduced. I have the right to cancel this extension at any time aand buy it at that point OR Lease a new Acura OR just surrender the vehicle to the Dealer and walk away.
Greetings! I did not see a new owner sign-in thread so thought this was the best fit.
Traded in our Lexus GS350 for a 2025 A-Spec Advance in Performance Red Pearl. Accessories include: TailGate Chrome Trim, Running Broads with Chrome Accent Trim, Body Side Molding & Splash Guard Set.
2025 MDX Review: The 2025 Acura MDX Type S Ultra isn’t cheap, but if you’re looking at this level, it’s comfortable, great to drive, and with a top-notch interior. It’s definitely worth a look.
Congrats on your new 25 MDX !!. After more than a month, How's your experience so far? I'm wrestling with either leasing a new 25 MDX A-Spec Advance or buying my 22 MDX Advance with 22.7K miles on it after 3.5 Years?? How You liking the new B & O sound system? I was disappointed to learn that Acuar Dropped the SAT radio Head unit , requiring you to Stream Sirius/XM via the Google APP on your phone! I use Sirius radio alot, and was very easy in my 22. I'm on the Cusp of my Decision as my 22 MDX l;ease extension expires Feb 20, 2025.
I just took the Plunge and leased a new 25 MDX ASPEC Advance on Feb 1, 2025. After lots of soul searching about buying the 22 MDX Advance at lease expiration form Acura Financial for $39,000, I took this route (perhaps the Heart over the Brain scenario). My initial review comments: It's Quieter, seems to ride a tad better (that may be a New Car thing), appreciating the new massaging seats, loving the new color Urban Gray Pearl with Orchid Interior, BUT the new TouchScreen may have been Over-Hyped (after over 3.5 years of using the TTIP, I became accustomed to it especially with Steering wheel controls and a HUD). Yes it's responsive, but I came to like the NAVI system in my 22 (used it all the time). The touchscreen has its Pros and Cons; The new B&O sound system IMHO is slightly inferior to the ELS sound system [I think Acura wasted Money on doing that] , and Now No more SAT Radio - you must Stream Sirius XM channels via your AA app.
After five MDX, I currently drive a 2023 RDX Aspec Advance. I really like the smaller vehicle and the handling of it. This may be my last Acura as I will not obtain a vehicle that lacks Sirius XM, onboard navigation, and a garage door opener as many Honda/Acura vehicles have dropped.
Genesis for one offers all of the above as well as other features that are a must have for me. Decontenting vehicles is really not a good strategy especially for Acura.
The 25 MDX does have Google based navigation which works without a phone. And I do have a Home link mirror too. But, alas no SAT RADIO UNIT, requiring streaming of Sirius XM. That is a disappointment. Thx for the good wishes.
All of the MDX threads are basically dead with hardly any postings. Strange or has interest in this model now subsided this dramatically?
Acura sold over 50K units so there is more than interest. However, what I have noticed and heard is due to some members who have zero interest in Acura brand but they are here just to spread negativity and comment in each thread for the sake of commenting, some of our long term and great contributors don't participate anymore. People were tired of negativity and the Mods were informed in multiple occasions but they were not blocked.
That said, i am very grateful to this community and lots of great topics are discussed and shared.
Put down a deposit today on a used ‘25 Type S Black/Black with 2,700 miles on it. Price before TTL was 66,999. It was a trade in, the Carfax shows it was purchased in Nov ‘24, and the sales rep said the guy ended up wanting more power, so traded it in for an SQ8.
Now I wait for the paperwork to come via UPS, as it was an out of state deal, and then for a transport company to deliver it, as I didn’t want to fly out and drive it back 12.5 hours.
