How much does the 2016 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 5.48% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,029 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare on price and condition.

Is the 2016 Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the 5/5 user rating and 7.5/10 expert rating both point to a model that resonates strongly with shoppers and reviewers. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the comfortable ride, effective safety features, spacious interior, and advanced features. That lines up well with the MDX’s role as a premium family vehicle, especially if you want something practical but still more engaging than many rivals.

With 32.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a strong-value example if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Acura MDX reliable?

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

Owner feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience overall, with many drivers describing the MDX as a great value for the money and something they can count on for family use. The expert review adds that the MDX has a strong reputation for quality and that it is expected to retain a big chunk of its value over time, which supports the case for long-term ownership.

At the same time, some owners have reported transmission-shifting concerns, so a used example deserves a careful road test and service-history review before you commit.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Acura MDX?

At 61.3% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the listing has any accident history or incomplete service records. Pay close attention to how the transmission behaves on a test drive, since owner feedback and the expert review both point to shifting concerns. It also makes sense to focus on interior condition and feature operation, because this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort, space, and advanced equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The MDX is presented as a model where you choose whether to add SH-AWD and then select option packages, with the Advance package adding ventilated front seats and other comfort upgrades. The base setup is simpler, while higher packages add more convenience and luxury features.
• Powertrain: A 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 horsepower, and it is paired with a new 9-speed automatic transmission for 2016. SH-AWD is available, and the setup is tuned for quick acceleration and a more engaging drive.
• Safety package: AcuraWatch Plus adds adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist, and road-departure mitigation. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is tied to the Technology or Advance package.
• Infotainment: The MDX uses a dual-display setup, and all models gain Siri Eyes Free compatibility. The Technology package adds navigation with real-time traffic reports, a premium sound system with HD Radio, and AcuraLink services.
• Fuel efficiency: The SH-AWD model is rated at 18 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. With the Advance package and Idle Stop, it rises to 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined.

Which 2016 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2016 Acura MDX is offered in 1 trim level: MDX.

Here's the short version:

The MDX is best approached as a package-based luxury SUV rather than a traditional trim ladder. The key decision is whether you want SH-AWD and which option package fits your needs, since the Technology package adds navigation, real-time traffic, premium audio, and AcuraLink services, while the Advance package adds ventilated front seats, remote engine start, parking sensors, and Idle Stop. If you want the best balance of value and equipment, the Technology package is the one most shoppers should focus on.

The safety package note is important here: AcuraWatch Plus is available on any version of the MDX, but blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert requires the Technology or Advance package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Acura MDX?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, compare, and negotiate.

• Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,029 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.48% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,445, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Acura MDX's resale value?

The current average of $14,723 sits slightly below last year's $15,577.

That decline suggests the market has become more favorable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price more competitively if they want to move quickly. The MDX’s strong reputation for quality and its broad appeal as a premium family vehicle should help support demand, especially for well-kept examples with clean history and desirable equipment.

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

Is the 2016 Acura MDX safe?

The 2016 Acura MDX earns Top Safety Pick honors from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA in every assessment, along with a four-star rollover resistance rating.

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

AcuraWatch Plus adds adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keep assist, and road-departure mitigation. Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert is included only with the Technology or Advance package, so you should verify that the listing you’re considering has the safety equipment you want.

Should I buy a 2016 Acura MDX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.48% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert review highlights the new 9-speed automatic transmission as the year’s key update, even though it also notes that the change made the MDX less appealing than before.

The bottom line: If you want a well-equipped luxury three-row SUV with strong safety credentials, broad owner approval, and a softer used-car price than last year, the 2016 MDX is worth serious consideration. If you are especially price-sensitive, you may want to shop carefully for a clean, well-maintained example and compare it against nearby model years to see whether a better-equipped or better-priced alternative fits your budget more comfortably.
