The Acura MDX Type S is the ultimate combination of performance, luxury, and cutting-edge technology. As the high-performance variant of Acura’s flagship SUV, the Type S trim delivers exhilarating power, precision handling, and premium features that set it apart from the base model. Let’s take a look at what’s new for the 2025 Acura MDX Type S (including a revamp of a notoriously awkward feature). 

How Fast Is the Acura MDX Type S?

The 2025 Acura MDX Type S is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine producing 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. This robust powertrain allows the MDX Type S to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just about 5.5 seconds, making it one of the quickest luxury SUVs in its class. The SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system enhances traction and cornering, ensuring a confident and dynamic driving experience.

What Is the Difference Between Acura MDX Type S and Base Model?

The Acura MDX Type S offers several upgrades over the base model, including performance enhancements, drivetrain improvements, and advanced luxury features. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences:

Engine Differences

• MDX Type S: 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque
• Base Model: 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engine with 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque

Drivetrain Differences

• MDX Type S: Standard SH-AWD, optimizing traction and handling
• Base Model: Standard FWD with optional SH-AWD

Luxury/Tech Features Differences

• MDX Type S: 16-way power front seats, massaging front seats, premium Milano leather with Ultrasuede, 25-speaker Band, an Olufsen premium sound system, and adaptive air suspension
• Base Model: 12-way power front seats, standard leatherette seating, 9-speaker Acura premium audio system, standard suspension

Price Difference

• MDX Type S: Starting around $75,250
• Base Model: Starting around $51,200

What Packages Are Available for the Acura MDX Type S?

The 2025 Acura MDX Type S has three optional packages:

• All-Season Protection Package I

• All-Season Protection Package II
  • All-Season Floor Mats
  • Wheel Locks
  • Cargo Tray
• All-Season Protection Package III
  • Splash Guards
  • All-Season Floor Mats
  • Wheel Locks

What Is Sport+ on an Acura MDX Type S?

The Sport+ mode on an Acura MDX Type S is one of the drive modes available in the vehicle, designed to enhance performance and provide a more dynamic driving experience. It adjusts several vehicle systems to optimize them for more spirited driving. Here’s what Sport+ mode typically modifies in the Acura MDX Type S:

1. Throttle Response: The throttle response becomes more immediate, meaning the engine will react more quickly when you press the accelerator, providing a more engaging driving experience.
   
2. Transmission Behavior: In Sport+ mode, the transmission shifts more aggressively, holding gears longer and downshifting more quickly to keep the engine in a higher RPM range, which is ideal for performance driving.
   
3. Suspension Stiffness: The suspension system becomes firmer in Sport+ mode to improve handling and reduce body roll, allowing for better cornering and stability during fast driving.
   
4. Steering Feel: The steering may become more responsive and precise, offering a sportier, more direct feel on the road.
   
5. All-Wheel Drive and Torque Distribution: On the MDX Type S, which features Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, Sport+ mode can adjust the power distribution to the wheels to enhance traction and performance during aggressive driving, particularly on twisty or uneven roads.
   
6. Exhaust Sound: In some vehicles, Sport+ mode may alter the exhaust sound to produce a more aggressive, throaty note, enhancing the performance feel of the vehicle.

What Are the Brembo Brakes on an Acura MDX Type S?

Brembo brakes are a high-performance brake system provided by Brembo, an Italian company known for its advanced brake technology. The system is designed to enhance braking performance by providing superior stopping power, durability, and heat management compared to standard brake systems.

Brembo brakes are especially well-suited to the sportier and more performance-oriented trim of the MDX. They include features like:

1. Larger Brake Rotors: Brembo brakes feature larger rotors that can handle more heat and stress, which improves braking efficiency during high-speed driving or in performance-oriented situations.
   
2. Piston Design: Brembo calipers feature more pistons (typically 4 or more) for better force distribution. This greatly enhances brake feel and consistency under hard braking.
   
3. Heat Dissipation: The advanced materials and design used by Brembo help in better heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during extended or heavy braking.
   
4. Improved Stopping Power: Brembo brakes are engineered to provide stronger and more immediate braking, which is ideal for a high-performance SUV like the MDX Type S.

Are There Any Changes for the 2025 Acura MDX Type S?

For 2025, the Acura MDX Type S has a few tweaks, most notably an upgrade to a 12.3 inch proper touchscreen. This replaces the touchpad controls that operated the infotainment system previously. Drivers consistently reviewed the touch controls as awkward, and Acura took the feedback to heart. The new system comes pre-loaded with a full suite of Google apps for added convenience and seamless smart device integration. The cabin has also been insulated further and the rear glass is laminated, so it is around 10% quieter than the previous model. 

All MDX trims will feature a Bang and Olufsen luxury sound system, but the Type S is the only one to have the all-new AcuraWatch™ 360 system. This system utilizes additional front corner radars, front millimeter wave radar, and a higher fidelity camera to deliver the most advanced assist capabilities possible. r

If you’re in the market for a compact luxury sport sedan that excels in performance, features, and technology, the Acura Integra A Spec Package should definitely be on your radar. As one of the top-tier trim levels in the Integra lineup, the A Spec Package delivers an exhilarating driving experience while boasting premium features and cutting-edge technology that cater to any driver, whether you want to coast in comfort or channel your inner race car driver. Let’s take a closer look at this beauty of a car and see what makes it one of the most popular luxury sedans in the country. 

What Is the Acura Integra A Spec Trim Level?

The A Spec Package is the second level trim in the Integra lineup. It has been designed to enhance the driving experience with sportier styling, performance upgrades, and advanced technology..

Engine Specs Of The Acura Integra A Spec

The turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is engineered to provide a perfect balance of power and efficiency. With 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, the Integra A Spec Package delivers a delightfully zippy (yet smooth) ride.

Transmission Options For Acura Integra A Spec 

Continuously Variable Transmission 

The Integra A Spec utilizes the CVT found in many Honda-made cars. This type of transmission is focused on convenience and driving comfort. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, which have fixed gears, a CVT uses a belt and pulley system to seamlessly adjust the engine’s power output to the wheels. This allows the engine to operate at its most efficient RPM for a given speed, providing a smooth acceleration without the jerky shifts that can occur with traditional gear-based transmissions. As a result, the ride feels more fluid, and the vehicle delivers power more consistently, especially during stop-and-go driving.l. 

Acura Integra A Spec Drivetrain and Performance Features

• Front-Wheel Drive (FWD): All trims of the Integra are available in FWD only. In addition to being lighter weight and easier to repair, FWD vehicles are typically easier to drive for most people, especially in everyday conditions. In wet or slippery conditions, FWD can feel more predictable and stable because the front wheels are in charge of both steering and propulsion. They are less likely to oversteer (when the rear of the car swings out), which makes them easier for many drivers to control.
• Integrated Dynamic System: This system allows the driver to customize and adjust the vehicle’s performance characteristics based on driving preferences and road conditions. The system provides different driving modes that can alter settings such as throttle response, steering feel, suspension stiffness, etc. This enhances the driving experience by offering a range of options for both everyday driving and more performance-oriented needs. In sport mode, for example, the throttle response is more immediate and steering is firmer.
• Available Adaptive Damper System: Enhance the ride quality even further with this optional system, which automatically adjusts the suspension for an even smoother, more refined driving experience.

Interior Features Of The Acura Integra A Spec

As a luxury car,, you can expect a plush interior for your Acura Integra A Spec. This includes: 

• Leatherette Trimmed Sports Seats 
• 8-Way Power Driver’s Seat for a customizable, comfortable driving position
• Heated Front Seats to keep you warm during chilly weather
• 7-Inch Touchscreen Infotainment System.
• 8-Speaker Premium Audio System: Enjoy a concert-like experience with this high-end audio system.
• Phone Charging USB-A 2.5 Ports in the front row ensure that your devices are always powered and ready for the road ahead.

Exterior Features Of Acura Integra A Spec

The Acura Integra A Spec comes with a range of stylish and performance-oriented exterior features that elevate both its aesthetics and functionality. Most are geared toward making the car look and feel more sporty, but a few improve efficiency as well:

Sporty Front Design

• Gloss Black Front Grille: The A Spec model features a bold, gloss black front grille.
• LED Headlights and Tail Lights: The Integra A Spec comes with distinctive Jewel Eye™ LED headlights that provide a premium look and superior illumination. The back is equipped with signature LED tail lights.

A-Spec Front Bumper and Lower Spoiler:

• The A-Spec trim features a more sculpted front bumper with a unique lower spoiler design. This gives the car a sportier, performance-oriented stance while also improving aerodynamics and front-end cooling.

18-Inch Wheels with Machined Finish

• The A Spec is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels with a machined finish. These wheels not only enhance the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal but also improve handling and performance by reducing unsprung weight.
• Sporty Tire Design: The tires on the A-Spec are designed for better grip for a more responsive and dynamic driving experience.

Wide Fenders

The wider fenders give the car a more aggressive stance, once again to emphasize its sporty nature. This design also helps accommodate the larger wheels and tires while contributing to a more muscular look.

Side Sills and Rocker Panels

The side skirts or rocker panels on the A-Spec model add to the car’s sleek, low-slung appearance (crouching tiger comes to mind). 

Dual Exhaust with Chrome Tips

The Integra A Spec features a dual exhaust system with chrome tips to give the car a sportier look and enhance its performance-focused appearance. The dual exhaust also contributes to bigger rumble from the engine (sports car, am I right?).

Roofline and Rear Spoiler

The Integra A Spec model comes with a subtly integrated rear spoiler, which enhances the car’s aerodynamics and sporty character. The rear spoiler also adds a more performance-oriented visual appeal to the overall design.

Available Colors For The Acura Integra A Spec

We really love looking at the names of colors for these cars. Who comes up with these? “My car is NOT white. It is PLATINUM WHITE PEARL.” Anyway, you have a few very fancy options when it comes to color choices for your Acura Integra A Spec: 

• Lunar Silver Metallic
• Majestic Black Pearl
• Liquid Carbon Metallic
• Performance Red Pearl
• Platinum White Pearl
• Apex Blue Pearl

Are There Any Changes From the 2024 Acura Integra A Spec Package for 2025?

If you’re considering the 2025 Acura Integra A Spec Package, you’ll be happy to know that Acura has opted to keep things consistent, building on the proven strengths of the 2024 model. In other words, there aren’t any huge changes for the 2025 model, although Honda is always tweaking performance features and refining the suspension.

What Extras Do I Get For Upgrading To The Acura Integra A Spec w/ Tech? 

Quite a few, actually. As the name suggests, the A Spec w/ Tech give you an extra punch gadget wise:

• Premium Audio System: The A-Spec Tech comes with an upgraded ELS Studio premium audio system, with a whopping 18 speakers.
• Navigation: The Tech package includes built-in navigation with real-time traffic updates, making it more convenient for long trips or driving in unfamiliar areas.
• Power Seats: The Tech upgrades power seating from 8 options to 12, and with lumbar support. The front passenger also gets 4-way power seating. 
• Larger Touchscreen: A Spec Tech gets you a 9” screen–two inches wider than the A Spec.
• Head Up Display: You’ll also have a 5.3” head up display so you never have to take your eyes off the road. 
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™: While the standard A Spec may have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Tech package provides wireless versions, offering more seamless integration with your smartphone.
• Premium Materials: leatherette gets an upgrade to microsuede with signature stitching.
• Manual Transmission: In addition to the CVT, the A Spec Tech is also available with a 6-speed manual transmission for a truly sporty drive. 
• Dual Automatic Climate Control: for improved air circulation and comfort.
• Wireless Charging: no need to scramble for charging cords

How Much Is the New Acura Integra A Spec?

The 2025 Acura Integra A Spec Package starts at an MSRP of $35,000. Additional costs may apply for optional accessories. The price hike from the previous year isn’t too bad, actually. Luckily, the Integra is manufactured in the same factory as the TLX, which is in Ohio (not subject to tariffs, in other words).

The 2025 Acura TLX Type S continues Acura’s legacy of blending precision performance with luxury and practicality. As the high-performance variant in the TLX lineup, the Type S is designed for drivers who want a little more engine heft (actually, a lot more) and sportier vibes. Let’s take a closer look

What Type of Car is the 2025 Acura TLX Type S?

The 2025 Acura TLX Type S is a luxury sports sedan, which means you get the refined driving experience the brand is famous for. But the S kicks up the performance aspect of the TLX model with significantly enhanced power and handling.

Where Does the TLX Type S Fit in the Lineup?

The Type S is at the top of the TLX trim options. Here’s a quick rundown of the TLX lineup:

• TLX Base – The entry-level trim with essential luxury features
• TLX Technology – Adds more advanced tech and comfort features
• TLX A-Spec – Sportier look and feel with enhancements
• TLX Type S – High-performance engine and more advanced performance features (we’re getting to those).

Engine Specifications

So, just how powerful is the 2025 Acura TLX Type S? Well, it’s powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine that produces a whopping 355 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Acura’s SH-AWD system to ensure excellent traction and handling (more on that in a minute).

Acceleration is swift, with a 0-60 mph time of approximately 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 156 mph. 355 hp, endless torque, 0-60 in under 5 seconds, all wrapped up in a luxury sedan that’s quiet as a mouse? This one’s for you, sneaky thrill-seekers.

What, Exactly, Is SH-AWD?

The Acura SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) system is a sophisticated all-wheel-drive technology developed by Acura to enhance vehicle performance, handling, and stability, particularly in challenging road conditions. Here’s an overview of how it works:

1. Dynamic Torque Distribution:
   
   • The SH-AWD system actively distributes torque between the front and rear axles to improve handling and traction. Under normal conditions, the system primarily powers the front wheels, but when additional traction is needed, it sends torque to the rear wheels.
   • The system can also redistribute power between the left and right rear wheels. This feature is particularly beneficial in improving cornering performance by applying more torque to the outside rear wheel, which helps pull the vehicle through turns.
2. Improved Handling:
   
   • By sending more torque to the rear wheels and even to the outer rear wheel during cornering, SH-AWD enhances the vehicle’s cornering stability and agility. This helps reduce understeer (when the car pushes wide in a turn) and gives the vehicle a more balanced, controlled feel.
   • It’s especially beneficial during aggressive driving, ensuring that the vehicle handles more like a rear-wheel-drive car while still maintaining the stability and traction benefits of all-wheel drive.
3. Enhanced Traction:
   
   • The system enhances traction in low-grip conditions, such as wet, snowy, or icy roads. It automatically adjusts torque distribution to maintain optimal traction, making the vehicle more stable and predictable in such conditions.
4. Sporty Driving Experience:
   
   • SH-AWD helps maintain a sportier, more responsive driving experience by optimizing torque delivery. This is a key feature for performance-oriented models like the 2025  Acura TLX Type S..

Other Key Features of the 2025 Acura TLX Type S

That turbocharged engine aside and superior handling aside, the TLX Type S is packed with other features to enhance your driving experience:

Seating and Upholstery

The cabin features exclusive Milano leather-trimmed seats with Ultrasuede inserts, providing both support and luxury. These seats are 16-way power-adjustable with adjustable side bolsters. The Type S branding on the headrests adds a distinctive touch. ​

Dashboard and Controls

Designed with the driver in mind, the dashboard houses a prominent drive-mode selector to let you make quick adjustments to performance settings. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster presents customizable driving information, keeping essential data within the driver’s line of sight. ​

Technology and Connectivity

The 2025 Acura TLX Type S is equipped with a 10.2-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system, controlled via a touchpad interface. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. There is also an available 10.5-inch head-up display to project needed information onto the windshield so you never have to divert your attention from the road.

Performance Features

Highlighting its performance pedigree, the interior includes a flat-bottom steering wheel inspired by the NSX, to give it a sporty feel. Paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel provide manual control over gear changes for a more engaging drive.

Ambient Lighting

The Iconic Drive™ Ambient Cabin Lighting system offers 24 selectable themes, inspired by renowned racetracks and scenic drives. This feature allows drivers to personalize the cabin’s atmosphere to their preference.

AcuraWatch Safety Suite

Of course, your 2025 TLX Type S also comes with the standard AcuraWatch safety suite. This includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.

Is the 2025 TLX Type S a Reliable Car?

At close to $60,000 MSRP, we understand your concern about whether or not the 2025 Acura TLX type S is reliable. And there are no silly questions…but this is a Honda vehicle, remember? Honda is basically synonymous with “reliable.” If you’re a numbers person, how’s this: JD power gives rates its reliability at 79 percent, which is just shy of the “great” category (very hard to get). And it was given a 10/10 for safety by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Mic DROP. 

What’s New in the 2025 Acura TLX Type S?

Compared to the 2024 model, the 2025 TLX Type S brings some exciting updates:

1. Improved Performance:
   While the powertrain remains largely unchanged, there have been refinements to the suspension and handling to improve the car’s ride and driving dynamics.
   
2. Updated Interior Tech:
   The 2025 model introduces additional tech features, including an updated version of the AcuraLink system and a larger, more intuitive 10.2-inch infotainment screen with improved functionality.
   
3. New Paint Options:
   The 2025 TLX Type S introduces a new set of exclusive colors, such as the Garnet Red, providing more personalization options.
   
4. Enhanced Standard Features:
   Acura continues to refine the TLX Type S with standard features like the ELS Studio 3D Premium Audio System and AcuraWatch, making it a more well-rounded package compared to previous years.

Where To Buy A 2025 Acura TLX Type S In Denver

We are expecting a restock of the Type S at our dealership in Denver, so stay tuned. These vehicles sell out fast, so get to our lot for a test drive. You can also try out that SH-AWD drivetrain on one of our other TLX trims while you wait for the Type S to arrive. Give us a call or go online to see what’s in stock!

Acura is expanding its SUV with an exciting new model: the 2025 Acura ADX. As the brand’s first entry into the compact luxury SUV segment, the ADX is designed to offer a stylish, fun-to-drive experience while maintaining Acura’s reputation for reliability and performance. If you’re considering a premium crossover, here’s everything you need to know before you test drive at Mile High Acura.

What Kind of Car Is the Acura ADX?

The 2025 Acura ADX is a compact luxury SUV positioned just below the Acura RDX. It’s designed to compete with models like the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Lexus UX, offering a balance of sporty performance, swanky features, and driver/passenger convenience. With sleek styling, sharp handling, and advanced technology, the ADX is expected to appeal to drivers looking for a powerful, roomy vehicle that also ticks all the boxes of a luxury sedan. 

2025 Acura ADX Engine Specs & Performance

While official details are still emerging, the Acura ADX is expected to share powertrain options with the Honda CR-V and Acura RDX, likely featuring:

• Turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine
• Continuously variable automatic transmission
• Expected 200 horsepower
• Standard FWD, but AWD is optional on all trims

How Many MPG Does the Acura ADX Get?

Fuel efficiency estimates haven’t been released yet, but considering its expected powertrain, the 2025 Acura ADX will likely deliver around 28-30 MPG combined–more than decent for an SUV. This would align the ADX with competitors while maintaining Acura’s performance-focused edge.

How Big Is the Acura ADX?

Acura has specified the following dimensions for the ADX:

• Wheelbase: 104.5 inches
• Length: 185.8 inches
• Width: 72.5 inches
• Height: 63.8 inches
• Cargo space: 24.4 cubic feet

These measurements position the ADX slightly longer than competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, and similar in size to the Lexus NX. Despite its compact exterior, the ADX offers a spacious interior, providing 37.7 inches of rear legroom. Cargo capacity is 24.4 cubic feet behind the second row, expanding to 55.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.

What’s Inside the Acura ADX?

Acura’s interiors are known for blending luxury with technology, so expect plenty of high end features and gadgets. We know for sure the ADX will include the following:

• AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies
• 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital instrument display
• 9-inch touchscreen
• Automatic climate control
• Power liftgate
• Leather seats
• Ambient lighting
• 12.3” infotainment system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay®
• Wireless Android Auto™

Can the 2025 Acura ADX Go Off-Road?

While the ADX isn’t a hardcore off-roader, the AWD upgrade will give it the confidence to handle light trails, gravel roads, and snowy conditions. For those who need a little extra capability, a higher riding trim with added ground clearance could be an option, but it won’t compete with rugged SUVs like the Honda Passport TrailSport or the Acura RDX.

Acura ADX Trim Levels

The Acura ADX will be available three trim levels:

1. Base ADX: Starting at $35,000, this entry-level trim comes equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine delivering approximately 200 horsepower. Standard features include a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a moonroof, and the AcuraWatch suite of safety technologies. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available for an additional $2,000. ​
2. ADX A-Spec: Priced from $38,000 the A-Spec trim enhances the vehicle’s sporty aesthetics and comfort. It adds 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic moonroof, LED fog lights, sport seats with synthetic suede upholstery and red contrast stitching, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable passenger seat, ambient LED cabin lighting, and a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel. As with the base model, all-wheel drive is optional for $2,000. 
3. ADX A-Spec with Advance Package: Starting at $42,000 this top-tier trim includes all features from the A-Spec and adds premium amenities such as gloss black 19-inch wheels, front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking, a 360-degree camera system, a hands-free power liftgate, remote start, rain-sensing windshield wipers, leather seats with synthetic-suede inserts, a heated steering wheel, integrated Google Built-In services with a complimentary three-year data plan, and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. All-wheel drive remains a $2,000 option.

Where Is the Acura ADX Made?

Unlike other Acura SUVs made in the US, the 2025 Acura ADX will be manufactured in Mexico. Honda is working on moving production to some of its US factories to help mitigate upcoming tariff costs, but it’s making sure quality remains top-tier despite the potential move.

When Will the 2025 Acura ADX Be Available?

The Acura ADX is expected to hit dealerships in early 2025 (hopefully within the next couple of months!). Keep an eye out for official announcements, as demand for this new model is expected to be high.

Stay up to Date With the Latest Acura ADX News

If you’re looking for a compact luxury SUV that delivers sporty performance, premium features, and Acura reliability, the ADX is shaping up to be a strong contender. To stay updated on availability, pricing, and test drive opportunities, contact Mile High Acura.

• Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) 

What Is SH-AWD On An Acura RDX?

Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system is an advanced all-wheel drive technology designed to enhance handling, stability, and traction in various driving conditions. Unlike traditional AWD systems that primarily send power to the front or rear wheels, SH-AWD® actively distributes torque not only between the front and rear axles but also between the left and right rear wheels.

How SH-AWD® Works:

1. Front-to-Rear Power Distribution
   • Under normal driving conditions, the system sends up to 90% of power to the front wheels for efficiency.
   • When needed, it can send up to 70% of power to the rear wheels for better traction.
2. Torque Vectoring for Enhanced Handling
   • SH-AWD® can send up to 100% of the rear torque to either the left or right rear wheel.
   • In corners, it directs more power to the outside rear wheel, which helps rotate the vehicle more smoothly and reduces understeer.
3. Improved Traction in Slippery Conditions
   • On wet, icy, or uneven surfaces, SH-AWD® adjusts power distribution dynamically to maximize grip.

Benefits of SH-AWD®

• Better Handling & Cornering – The torque vectoring system helps the car stay balanced in sharp turns.
• Increased Stability – It improves control during acceleration, braking, and high-speed maneuvers.
• Enhanced Performance – Provides a more engaging and sporty driving experience.
• Improved All-Weather Capability – Offers better traction in rain, snow, and off-road conditions. In other words, this car was MADE for Colorado. 

Which Acura Models Have SH-AWD®?

SH-AWD® is available on several Acura models, including:

• Acura MDX
• Acura RDX
• Acura TLX
• Acura Integra Type S

Does the Acura RDX Need Premium Gas?

The fuel recommended for the 2025 Acura RDX is Premium unleaded 91 octane. While it’s possible to use fuel with an octane rating of 87, you won’t get the full experience of the RDX and you risk shortening the engine lifespan. It’s best to use the recommended fuel. While this might seem like an added expense, premium fuel ensures the turbocharged engine runs efficiently, providing better performance and longevity. It’s a luxury car, after all–treat it that way! 

What Is the Life Expectancy of the Acura RDX?

Acuras are known for lasting a long time, and the same goes for the RDX. With proper maintenance, the RDX can last 250,000 to 300,000 miles. Regular servicing, such as oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations, will keep your RDX running smoothly for years.

The Acura ZDX is back, but not as you remember it. Once a niche luxury crossover, the ZDX has been completely reimagined for 2024 as Acura’s first all-electric SUV. Combining cutting-edge technology, high-performance engineering, and premium comfort, the 2024 Acura ZDX offers a bold new direction for the brand. Whether you’re drawn to its impressive range, powerful dual-motor options, or sleek modern design, this EV is set to make quite the impression.

Why Was the First Generation Acura ZDX Discontinued?

The Acura ZDX was first introduced in 2009. It was a mid-size luxury crossover known for its distinctive coupe-like design and sports performance. Americans didn’t seem to appreciate its low-slung profile, favoring crossover SUV’s with a more traditional design. 

Unfortunately, due to limited sales, the first generation ZDX was discontinued after the model year 2013. It is now one of the rarest Acura’s ever produced, with just 7,191 cars sold in the US.

What Is the New 2024 Acura ZDX?

The revamped 2024 Acura ZDX is a complete departure from its first, gas-powered iteration. The model is now an all-electric, high-performance crossover SUV. Rather than the low, sloping lines of the first generation, the all new Acura ZDX has bold architecture that removes any doubt about what type of vehicle it is: an electrified beast ready to tackle any terrain. 

How Powerful Is The 2024 Acura ZDX?

The base trim for the 2024 Acura ZDX, which uses a single motor, still gets an impressive 358 hp along with 325 lb-ft of torque. HP increases to an insane 499 hp on the Type S with high performance tires (and 544 lb-ft of torque-that’s a smoooth ride).

Is The 2024 Acura ZDX Fast?

As is common with electric vehicles, the 2024 Acura ZDX is quite zippy. The Type S can accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in just 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 131 mph. Not too shabby. 

What Is the Range and MPGe of the 2024 Acura ZDX?

The ZDX has a great range and MPGe in each of its trims. The A-Spec RWD has a rating of 313 miles with 90 MPGe combined. The A-Spec AWD model has 304 miles. The Type-S models both have a rating of 278 miles. The A-Spec AWD and both Type-S models are an estimated 87 MPGe combined. On a full charge, this all-electric vehicle can easily get you where you need to go.

Interior Features of the 2024 Acura ZDX

The Acura ZDX can accommodate up to five passengers. It emphasizes both comfort and advanced technology. The cabin features premium materials and a spacious layout. It debuts Acura’s collaboration with Bang & Olufsen through an 18-speaker audio system, ensuring a superior listening experience. The infotainment system integrates Google Built-in, offering seamless access to navigation, media, and vehicle controls. Additionally, the ZDX has AcuraWatch™, with the Type-S models coming with 360+ with hands-free cruise (and more 360+ features).

Exterior Features of the 2024 Acura ZDX

• LED Side Mirror-integrated Directional Signals
• Heated Side Mirrors
• Panoramic Moonroof with Tilt and Slide Function
• Jewel Eye® LED Headlights
• Chicane™ LED Tail Lights
• Acoustic Laminated Windshield and Front Side Glass
• Charge Port Door
• Rear Privacy Glass
• Illuminated Seamless Pentagon Grille
• Chicane™ Daytime Running Lights (DRL)

Does the 2024 Acura ZDX Qualify for a Tax Credit?

The 2024 Acura ZDX qualifies for the federal EV tax credit of $7,500. This credit applies to both the A-Spec and Type S models. This tax incentive can reduce the base price, making it an attractive option in the luxury electric SUV market.
