There were two main reasons I traded my 2022 Advanced MDX for a 2025 Type S. The slow acceleration from a stop and loud interior noise. Now I feel much safer pulling into traffic form a stop and feel more like driving a sports car with the turbo engine noise. The extra insulation and better tires makes the car so much quieter inside. I also like the new high-tech stuff like the radar warnings before pulling out from a stop sign. The wheels are so much easier to clean. The painted gloss back lower trim on the front, back, sides, and around the wheel wells is much easier to clean and will not turn white with the sun and time. The car looks so much sportier. The navigation map in the front instrument display is nice. The automatic Google Maps will make things much easier. So far the MPG is about the same as my 2022 Advanced MDX. The Touch Screen, Radio, SiriusXM, and CarPlay will take a few months to get used to. I need to learn more n using Alexa and Siri. The wireless phone charger and the open the tail gate with the foot actually work now. I can now adjust the car ground clearance from about 7.3" to about 9.3" but have not yet tried that. I do go some off road sometimes as an Archaeologist and will use that. The front side air intake grills actually work with air flowing into small radiators to help cool the engine and turbo charger.
The only negatives so far are using the SiriusXM with my iPhone, the long reach to the touch screen on a few things, and not being able to use my old cargo cover.
