While the 2025 Acura MDX may not look radically different from its older siblings, it now has several new safety features unavailable on the outgoing models. Features new to the 2025 model include the improved AcuraWatch 360 suite, which now features improved hardware, including an updated front long-range millimeter wave radar hidden behind the Acura emblem. Also part of the suite is an upgraded camera, located on top of the windshield, and a barrage of radars positioned on all four corners.
These additional hardware-enabled features include Active Lane Change Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist System, Lane Change Collision Mitigation, and Front Cross Traffic Warning. The car’s existing driver assistance and collision avoidance technology also gets a boost with additional hardware. This includes Adaptive Cruise Control, which is now claimed to feature smoother acceleration and deceleration, a longer-range blind spot information system, and a more capable Collision Mitigation Braking System.
The standard AcuraWatch suite on other MDX models also receives upgrades for 2025, with improved camera and radar technology for better object detection and collision avoidance. Acura has also added a new rear seat belt reminder system for 2025, which uses visual and audible cues to notify the driver whether rear seat occupants are buckled up.
