How much does the 2014 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 6.44% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 624 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

Is the 2014 Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Acura MDX earns a 4.7/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 10/10 across Performance and Safety.

You get a strong mix of luxury, comfort, and performance, and owners also consistently call out the spacious interior, smooth ride, and good fuel economy. The overview frames it as a redesigned luxury crossover that balances refinement with athletic ability, which fits the way it is described by both owners and testers.

With 34.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Acura MDX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.7/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, with praise centered on comfort, performance, and the kind of ownership experience people can count on over time. The expert review also describes the MDX as a polished, finely tuned SUV with strong road manners and a refined powertrain, which supports the case for everyday dependability.

The ownership risk for used buyers is mainly about condition and maintenance history, so a careful pre-purchase inspection matters more than chasing mileage alone.

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

At 56.3% 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 thorough inspection of bodywork, alignment, and signs of prior repair. Because this model is a luxury SUV with a lot of equipment, you should also focus on how well the cabin, electronics, and driver-assistance features are working. If you are comparing multiple listings, condition should matter more than small price differences.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base version is relatively light on technology beyond Bluetooth connectivity and music streaming, hands-free text messaging capability, a USB port, a reversing camera and Jewel Eye LED headlights. The Technology Package adds keyless access, navigation, a premium sound system, GPS-linked climate control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot information, and larger 19-inch wheels. The Technology and Entertainment Package adds a rear-seat DVD entertainment system with a 9-inch screen, wireless headphones, a remote control, a 110-volt power outlet and heated rear seats. The Advance and Entertainment Package adds a 16.2-inch widescreen display, premium perforated leather seats, ventilated front seats, auto-dimming side mirrors, remote engine start, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control with low speed follow, lane keeping assist and collision mitigation braking.
• Powertrain: A 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 hp and uses Variable Cylinder Management to help conserve fuel when cruising. A 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters is standard, and SH-AWD is optional.
• Safety package: The Technology Package adds forward collision warning, lane departure warning and blind spot information. The Advance and Entertainment Package adds adaptive cruise control with low speed follow, lane keeping assist and collision mitigation braking. Base trims miss those added driver-assistance features.
• Infotainment: Every MDX gets twin display screens, and the Technology and Entertainment Package adds a rear-seat DVD system with a 9-inch screen. The Advance and Entertainment Package replaces that with a 16.2-inch screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The fully loaded test vehicle was rated at 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, with a combined 21 mpg.

Which 2014 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2014 Acura MDX is offered in 3 trim levels: Technology Package, Technology and Entertainment Package, Advance and Entertainment Package.

Here's the short version:

• Technology Package: This is the best-value starting point if you want the core luxury and safety upgrades without paying for rear-seat entertainment or the most expensive comfort features. It adds navigation, a premium sound system, GPS-linked climate control, and key driver-assistance features like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and blind spot information.
• Technology and Entertainment Package: Choose this if you want the family-friendly rear-seat DVD setup with the 9-inch screen, wireless headphones, remote control, 110-volt power outlet, and heated rear seats. It makes the MDX more appealing if you regularly carry passengers in the second row.
• Advance and Entertainment Package: This is the most fully equipped version, adding the 16.2-inch widescreen display, ventilated front seats, remote engine start, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control with low speed follow, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking. It is the right pick if you want the most comfort and the most advanced safety tech.

The safety-package trims are where the MDX becomes much more fully featured, so if driver assistance matters to you, avoid the base setup.

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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 624 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.44% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 56.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,884, 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 $11,884 sits slightly below last year's $12,702.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but means a future seller may need to price competitively. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than someone who paid closer to last year’s average. The MDX’s broad appeal as a luxury three-row SUV should still help support demand, especially for clean, well-maintained examples.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.7/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Acura MDX safe?

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

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

The blind-spot information system is a standout feature, and the Technology Package adds forward collision warning and lane departure warning. The Advance and Entertainment Package adds adaptive cruise control with low speed follow, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking. The review also notes that lane departure warning can be overly sensitive and sometimes inaccurate, so that is a real-world caveat to keep in mind.

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:

• 34.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 56.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.44% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned model is described as a better SUV in almost every respect, with a more polished and finely tuned driving character.

The bottom line: The 2014 MDX makes sense if you want the redesigned version and you value its blend of comfort, performance, and available safety tech. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to compare it carefully against other nearby model years and focus on the cleanest, best-maintained example rather than the cheapest one.

How does the 2014 Acura MDX compare to the 2014 Honda Pilot?

Our experts score the 2014 Acura MDX 7.8/10 and the 2014 Honda Pilot 6.8/10.

The MDX is the more polished and more powerful choice, with stronger performance and a more upscale feel. The Pilot is cheaper to buy and has more listings available, so it can make sense if your priority is value over refinement. If you want the better-driving and better-equipped premium SUV, the MDX is the stronger pick.
