How much does the 2014 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 7.56% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 591 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2014 Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Acura MDX earns a 4.67/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Performance and Safety.

You’re looking at a three-row luxury crossover that owners praise for luxury, comfort, performance, spaciousness, smooth ride quality, and fuel economy. That lines up with Acura’s pitch for a polished SUV that still keeps an athletic edge, so it makes sense if you want family-friendly space without giving up a more engaging driving feel. The market also shows 34.5% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2014 Acura MDX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many drivers find dependable and trouble-free enough to recommend for everyday use, with praise centered on comfort, fuel economy, and overall satisfaction. Acura’s own tuning also emphasizes a refined, well-sorted driving experience, which supports the sense that this is a crossover built to be lived with over the long haul. The cost-effectiveness notes also say the MDX is expected to hold its value over time, and that helps reinforce confidence in long-term ownership.

For used buyers, the main risk is less about a known mechanical red flag and more about how individual examples were maintained, since luxury features and age can magnify wear if service history is thin.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Acura MDX?

At 57% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with a long option list. Pay close attention to signs of prior bodywork, uneven panel gaps, interior wear, and whether the electronics and driver-assistance features still work as intended. Because this is a luxury crossover, condition matters a lot: a clean, well-kept example is more likely to deliver the refined ownership experience you want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base version is relatively light on technology beyond Bluetooth, music streaming, hands-free text messaging, a USB port, a reversing camera, and Jewel Eye LED headlights, while the Technology Package adds keyless access, navigation, AcuraLink traffic, a premium sound system, GPS-linked climate control, and several driver-assistance features. The Technology and Entertainment Package adds rear-seat DVD entertainment, and the Advance and Entertainment Package adds the widest screen plus premium leather, ventilated front seats, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking.
• Powertrain: The MDX uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, plus Variable Cylinder Management to help conserve fuel. A 6-speed automatic and front-wheel drive are standard, while SH-AWD is optional and adds torque-vectoring capability.
• Safety package: The Technology Package includes Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Information, while the Advance and Entertainment Package adds Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist, and Collision Mitigation Braking System. Base trims miss much of that driver-assistance content.
• Infotainment: Every MDX gets twin display screens, but the lower touchscreen is the main control interface and can be glare-prone. Higher trims add navigation, AcuraLink real-time traffic, a premium audio system, and a rear-seat entertainment setup with a 9-inch screen; the top package upgrades to a 16.2-inch widescreen display.
• Fuel efficiency: The fully loaded test vehicle was rated at 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, for a combined 21 mpg.

Which 2014 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2014 Acura MDX is offered in 4 trim levels: base, Technology Package, Technology and Entertainment Package, and Advance and Entertainment Package.

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the value play if you want the MDX’s core luxury crossover experience without paying for the extra convenience and driver-assistance gear. You still get the V6, the dual-screen setup, and the essentials, but it’s the least equipped version.
• Technology Package: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the most useful everyday upgrades, including navigation, premium audio, keyless access, and important safety tech like blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning.
• Technology and Entertainment Package: Choose this if you need rear-seat entertainment and more family-friendly convenience, since it builds on the Technology Package with the DVD system, wireless headphones, and rear-seat amenities.
• Advance and Entertainment Package: This is the most fully loaded choice, adding the largest screen, ventilated front seats, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking for buyers who want the most equipment.

The safety-package trims are worth paying attention to because the most advanced driver-assistance features are concentrated in the higher packages rather than the base model.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Acura MDX?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 591 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.56% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $12,038, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Acura MDX's resale value?

The current average of $12,148 sits slightly below last year's $13,142.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favorable if you’re planning to sell soon. For a future seller, the key takeaway is that the MDX’s value has softened, so holding onto a clean, well-maintained example matters more than ever. Strong condition, documented service, and desirable equipment should help you stand out when it’s time to list.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Acura MDX safe?

The 2014 Acura MDX gets Good ratings in the IIHS moderate overlap frontal-impact test and side-impact test, and its front crash prevention rating is Advanced.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

The MDX’s named driver-assistance content includes blind-spot information, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking. Those features are concentrated in the Technology and Advance packages, so base trims miss much of the advanced safety equipment. One caveat is that the lane departure warning system is described as hyper-active and sometimes inaccurate, so you may want to test that feature carefully if you’re considering a higher trim.

Should I buy a 2014 Acura MDX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.56% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned 2014 MDX is presented as a better SUV in almost every respect than the previous generation, with stronger refinement, better driving dynamics, and a more modern overall package.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned MDX’s improved driving feel, stronger efficiency, and broad owner approval, the 2014 is the right direction. If you’re mainly chasing the lowest possible purchase price, you may want to compare it against nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-maintained example rather than the newest badge alone.
