How much does the 2022 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 9.25% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,692 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Acura MDX earns a 4.75/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise the MDX for its handling, interior quality, comfort, and blend of luxury with practicality. The styling and driving feel also come through as recurring strengths, while some shoppers note technology frustrations and a few feature omissions.

From an expert perspective, the MDX’s standout strengths are its stylish design, great handling, and excellent value for money. The main trade-off is the cramped third row, so it fits you best if you want a premium family SUV and can live with limited rear-most space.

With 37.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Acura MDX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with drivers highlighting the MDX’s comfort, practicality, and overall confidence over time. The expert evaluation also describes it as reliable, elegant, fun transportation, which reinforces the sense that it is built for long-term use.

The ownership picture is helped by the MDX’s solid construction and broad feature set, and the standard maintenance and safety systems support everyday dependability. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure prior use hasn’t worn down the technology or the third-row space more than you’d like.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Acura MDX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report, because accident-free listings are common but not guaranteed. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more advanced equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the technology and convenience features work as intended.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base MDX has standard Jewel Eye LED headlights, 19-inch wheels, and a simpler audio setup, while Tech and above add 20-inch wheels and more upscale equipment. The base trim is the one most likely to feel light on premium extras.
• Powertrain: You get a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard on the base MDX and Tech, while SH-AWD is optional there and standard on higher trims.
• Safety package: AcuraWatch is standard and includes collision mitigation braking system, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, traffic sign recognition, driver attention monitor, expanded pedestrian detection capability, and traffic-jam assist.
• Infotainment: Every MDX gets a 12.3-inch landscape-oriented infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Qi-compatible wireless charging, a WiFi hotspot, and OTA software updates. Navigation is standard on Tech and above.
• Fuel efficiency: No MPG figure is stated in the available data.

Which 2022 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2022 Acura MDX is offered in 4 trim levels: MDX, Tech Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package.

Here's the short version:

• MDX: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core MDX experience with the V6, 10-speed automatic, AcuraWatch, and the standard 12.3-inch display. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live without navigation and some of the richer luxury touches.
• Tech Package: This is the best-value trim because it adds navigation and the upgraded ELS Studio audio system while keeping the MDX’s strong driving character. If you want the sweet spot in the lineup, this is the one to target.
• A-Spec Package: This trim leans into the sportiest appearance and adds more premium tech and audio equipment, but it comes only with SH-AWD. It suits you if style matters as much as substance.
• Advance Package: This is the luxury-focused choice, with the most upscale equipment in the lineup, including the head-up display and the most advanced camera setup. It fits you best if you want the most comfort and convenience features.

AcuraWatch is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up trims for the core safety suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Acura MDX?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 37.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,692 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.25% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $34,446, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Acura MDX's resale value?

The current average of $34,446 sits slightly below last year's $37,956.

That softer pricing suggests the MDX has already moved through a meaningful portion of its early depreciation. If you buy now, you’re entering at a more favorable point than last year’s market. For a future seller, that can help limit downside if the vehicle stays clean, well maintained, and properly equipped.

The trim mix also matters for resale, since higher-spec versions with desirable equipment may hold broader appeal. Strong demand for a premium three-row SUV should continue to support values, especially for well-kept examples.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Acura MDX safe?

The 2022 Acura MDX hasn’t yet received released crash-test ratings from IIHS or NHTSA in the available data.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The AcuraWatch suite is standard on all MDX models and includes collision mitigation braking system, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane-keeping assist, road departure mitigation, traffic sign recognition, driver attention monitor, expanded pedestrian detection capability, and traffic-jam assist. The MDX also adds low-speed braking control with sonar-based object detection, autonomous braking intervention, and collision mitigation throttle control.

A caveat to keep in mind is that the available crash-test results are still pending in this model year’s data, so you should lean more heavily on the standard safety equipment and the vehicle’s condition when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2022 Acura MDX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 37.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.25% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 brings an all-new platform, fresh styling, and a more assertive driving character.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $38,951, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $34,446 average.
• It adds complimentary AcuraLink connected services and scheduled maintenance coverage.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the smarter buy because it delivers the redesigned MDX experience at a lower average price. If you’re willing to pay more for added ownership perks and newer-model convenience, the 2023 is the better secondary path.
