How much does the 2014 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 6.88% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 608 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory 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.

Owners consistently praise its luxury, comfort, performance, spacious interior, smooth ride, and fuel economy. That lines up well with its role as a redesigned three-row luxury crossover that aims to balance refinement with athletic ability, making it a strong fit if you want a premium family SUV with a polished driving feel.

37.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which 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 in daily use, with praise centered on comfort, performance, spaciousness, and a smooth ride. The expert test-drive summary also emphasizes that the MDX is a better SUV in almost every respect and that its driving dynamics are expertly calibrated, which supports the sense that it is built to be a confident long-term companion.

The ownership picture is still worth checking carefully on a used example, especially because luxury vehicles can become expensive if prior maintenance was skipped or wear items were neglected.

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

At 55.9% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially on bodywork, electronics, and any signs of uneven wear. Because this is a luxury crossover with available driver-assistance and infotainment equipment, you’ll also want to confirm that every feature works as intended and that the cabin shows normal wear for the mileage.

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 real-time traffic, a premium sound system, GPS-linked climate control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind spot information, and 19-inch wheels. The Technology and Entertainment Package adds rear-seat DVD entertainment, wireless headphones, a remote control, a power outlet, and heated rear seats, while the Advance and Entertainment Package adds a larger display, premium perforated leather, ventilated front seats, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking.
• Powertrain: The redesigned MDX uses a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic. Variable Cylinder Management helps conserve fuel, front-wheel drive is standard, and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive is optional.
• Safety package: The Technology Package adds 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. Base trims miss much of that driver-assistance content.
• Infotainment: Every MDX gets twin display screens, and the upper-level packages expand the setup with navigation, AcuraLink real-time traffic, a premium sound system, and a larger 16.2-inch screen in the top package. The system is not especially intuitive, and the lower touchscreen can suffer from glare and fingerprints.
• Fuel efficiency: The fully loaded test vehicle was rated at 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, with a combined 21 mpg.

Which 2014 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

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

Here's the short version:

• base: This is the one to choose if you want the lowest entry price and can live with a simpler feature set. It gives you the core MDX experience, but it leaves out most of the convenience, infotainment, and driver-assistance upgrades that make the higher trims feel more premium.
• Technology Package: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the features that most clearly improve day-to-day use: navigation, AcuraLink real-time traffic, premium audio, keyless access, and important safety tech like blind spot information, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning.
• Advance and Entertainment Package: Choose this if you want the most fully equipped MDX, especially for family use. It adds the larger display, rear-seat entertainment, ventilated front seats, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking.

The safety-package content is strongest in the Technology Package and above, so if you want the most useful driver-assistance coverage, avoid the base trim.

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 patiently but still move quickly on a strong listing.

• Deal availability: 37.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 608 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.88% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 55.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $11,989, 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 $11,989 sits slightly below last year's $12,875.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you’re thinking about short-term resale. For a future seller, the current trend means you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on broad market appreciation.

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 gets a Good rating 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 Technology Package adds 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. One caveat is that the lane departure warning system can be overly sensitive, so you may find yourself turning it off in some driving environments.

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:

• 37.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 55.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.88% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.7/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The redesigned 2014 model is described as a better SUV in almost every respect, with expertly calibrated driving dynamics and a more mature, refined character.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned MDX with strong performance, a polished ride, and a good mix of luxury and utility, the 2014 is the right path. If you’re especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully for a lower-mileage, well-kept example, but you should prioritize condition and equipment because the best versions of this SUV are the ones that have been maintained and optioned well.

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 powerful and more premium choice, with stronger performance, better fuel economy, and a higher expert score. 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 more polished driving experience and richer feature content, the MDX is the better fit.
