How much does the 2016 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 2.59% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,056 listings available, which suggests you have a meaningful amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2016 Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Acura MDX earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the comfortable ride, effective safety features, overall performance, advanced features, and spacious interior. That lines up well with the MDX’s role as a luxury-oriented three-row SUV that aims to balance comfort with a more engaging driving character.

With 34.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitively priced example.

Is the 2016 Acura MDX reliable?

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

Owners also describe the MDX as reliable, dependable, and a vehicle they can count on over the long term, while the cabin materials and overall quality give the impression that it will last a good, long time. The expert evaluation also points to a solid, quality feel, and the ownership-cost discussion notes that the MDX has historically been very reliable.

The main used-buyer risk is that transmission shifting concerns can affect day-to-day satisfaction, so a careful test drive and service-history review matter more than usual.

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

At 59.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on bodywork quality, alignment, and how the transmission behaves during normal driving, since shifting concerns are a recurring owner complaint. It also makes sense to pay close attention to cabin condition and feature operation, because this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and equipment.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The MDX is presented as a luxury three-row SUV with a choice of Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and option-package combinations, and the cabin uses a dual-screen layout that simplifies the interior but can make it feel plain. Base versions miss some of the richer equipment found higher up the range, so you should compare packages carefully.
• Powertrain: A 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 horsepower and is paired with a new 9-speed automatic transmission for 2016. The setup is refined and quick, but the transmission can feel less satisfying than expected, and fuel-economy gains are limited.
• 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 requires the Technology or Advance Package.
• Infotainment: The MDX uses a dual-screen setup, and all models gain Siri Eyes Free for 2016. The Technology Package adds navigation with real-time traffic, a premium sound system with HD Radio, and a GPS-linked solar-sensing climate system, while the Advance Package adds remote engine start, ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and parking sensors.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA rates the SH-AWD setup at 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, while Advance-package models with Idle Stop can reach 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.

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-driven SUV rather than a traditional trim ladder, so your decision comes down to which option bundle you want. If you want the strongest value, focus on the Technology Package because it adds navigation, real-time traffic, a premium audio system, and important safety tech. If you want the most comfort and convenience, the Advance Package adds ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, remote engine start, and parking sensors. The Entertainment Package is the pick if you need rear-seat entertainment.

The safety-package note is simple: 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 looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,056 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.59% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,414, 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 $14,697 sits slightly below last year's $15,088.

That softer pricing suggests the MDX has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. The current market also shows a meaningful spread between the low and high end of the year-round range, so condition and equipment will matter when it comes time to resell. Strong demand for well-kept examples should help support value, especially for vehicles with desirable safety and comfort features.

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 five-star ratings from NHTSA in every single assessment, accompanied by a four-star rollover resistance rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives it top ratings across the board, plus an Advanced rating for frontal-impact avoidance, and the result is a Top Safety Pick 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 requires the Technology or Advance Package, and those packages also include rain-sensing wipers.

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:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.59% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 model year adds a new 9-speed automatic transmission, which is one of the defining updates for this version.

The bottom line: The 2016 MDX makes sense if you want a well-equipped luxury SUV with strong safety credentials and you can find a clean example at a good price. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2016’s softened pricing and strong owner satisfaction make it a reasonable target when condition and service history check out.

How does the 2016 Acura MDX compare to the 2016 Honda Pilot?

Our experts score the 2016 Acura MDX 7.5/10 and the 2016 Honda Pilot 7.3/10.

The MDX is the more expensive and more powerful choice, with a stronger luxury focus and a richer safety score. The Pilot undercuts it on price and offers more listings, so it may be the easier buy if you want similar space and value without the Acura badge. If you care most about refinement, safety, and a more upscale feel, the MDX has the edge; if you want a lower entry price and broader inventory, the Pilot is the practical alternative.
