The 2025 Acura MDX Finally Says Goodbye To The Infotainment Touchpad

The Acura MDX is one of the most popular midsize luxury SUVs in the market. This SUV must have a lot going for it, considering it continued to have the finicky touchpad controller for the infotainment system.

It’s a wonder that Acura continues to be stubborn about this infotainment control system. Thankfully, the 2025 Acura MDX receives a wonderful new touchscreen to give us what we want in the dashboard.

Acura finally ditched the in-console touchpad and replaced it with a 12.3-inch touchscreen. This gives the center area more room for additional useable storage and makes it much easier to reach the wireless charging pad area.

The new screen features Google built-in technology and supports the desired connectivity of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

 If you’re an audiophile, you’ll love the standard 11-speaker audio system or the upgraded 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Rounding out the infotainment/entertainment upgrades are better sound insulation and laminated rear glass, which helps make the cabin quieter than ever before.

The Acura MDX already featured six trim levels. The 2025 model also has six but adds a new name while dropping the base Type S. This new trim, A-Spec Advanced, which slots between the Advance and Type S Advance models.

The 2025 Acura MDX receives an improved AcuraWatch safety suite with a new front camera and grille-mounted radar. These items have a wider field of view. 

The 2025 model year Acura MDX is improved in many ways, giving drivers more of what they want. Most notably, the change to a touchscreen is a huge step in the right direction for this midsize SUV.
