Given the popularity of mid-size luxury crossover SUVs, it is no surprise that OEMs find themselves having to innovate to ensure their vehicles continue to appeal to discerning New York City drivers. Within this category, the 2025 Acura MDX and 2025 Lexus TX are standouts, but which should you choose? Read on to find out why Bill Vince’s Bridgewater Acura believes that when it comes to choosing the Acura MDX or Lexus TX, you should opt for the former.

An Acura MDX vs. Lexus TX specs comparison immediately reveals the Acura MDX to be the more powerful and capable vehicle. Check out the engine specs below:
3.5L Aluminum-Alloy V6, 24-valve, SOHC i-VTEC
Standard engine on: MDX FWD/SH-AWD®, Technology FWD/SH-AWD®, A-Spec®, Advance, A-Spec® Advance
3.0L Turbo Aluminum Alloy 6-Cylinder Engine:
Standard engine on: Type-S Advance
2.4L Turbo I4
Available on: TX 350, TX 350 Premium, TX 350 Luxury, TX 350 F Sport Handling AWD
The Acura MDX can generate more power than the Lexus TX regardless of which engine you choose, though torque does fall behind if we only consider the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 engine. However, the 2025 Acura MDX generally provides superior handling capabilities thanks to the proprietary Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive® (SH-AWD®) system available throughout the MDX lineup. Staten Island drivers who value both power and drivability should pick the Acura MDX over the Lexus TX.
When it comes to choosing between the Acura MDX or Lexus TX based on their respective technology features, the quality-focused East Brunswick driver will note that the Acura MDX offers more technology in the areas that matter. Here are just a few areas where the MDX vs. TX comparison in technology goes to the MDX:
The 2025 MDX comes standard with the B&O Ultra Sound System if you choose the Acura MDX Type S Advance, while the Mark Levinson® speaker set needs to be purchased separately regardless of which Lexus TX trim you choose. Similarly, all three Acura MDX trims that have access to the HUW display (Advance, Type S, Type S Advance) have it as a standard feature. For the Lexus TX, the HUD is only available if you also purchase the optional Technology Package.
In short, the 2025 Acura MDX provides a more comfortable ride than the Lexus TX. Check out the types of front seats that come standard across their respective lineups:
As you can see, even the less-adjustable 12-way power seats that come standard on the baseline Acura MDX are capable of finer adjustments compared to the 10-way power seats you will find on top-of-the-line Lexus TX models. The MDX also comes with three-position Driver Seat and Front Passenger Seat Memory functions, while the Lexus TX only offers this feature for the driver side.
After reading this MDX vs. TX comparison, choosing between the Acura MDX or Lexus TX is a simple affair. If you value power, handling, and the comfort/convenience that technology can provide, you should opt for the 2025 Acura MDX. Visit us in Bridgewater and test-drive the MDX lineup, then ask us about our new vehicle specials and financing/leasing opportunities.
