How much does the 2024 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 9.59% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,081 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Acura MDX a good car?

The 2024 Acura MDX is a strong all-around choice if you want a luxury SUV that balances comfort, performance, and family usefulness without chasing class-leading space. It earns a 3.5/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating.

The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Safety.

It is comfortable and refined for road trips and daily commuting, and it brings strong engines, sharp handling, and a generous standard feature set. The main trade-offs are a small third row and an infotainment system that can be frustrating to use.

With 35.0% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Acura MDX reliable?

The 2024 Acura MDX is backed by a strong ownership pitch, with a well-rounded design and a long powertrain warranty that supports long-term confidence. Its expert evaluation also emphasizes that it delivers on the core SUV expectations of comfort, capability, safety, and family space.

The performance setup is described as strong and refined, with power delivery that feels quick and well managed in everyday driving. The cost-effectiveness notes also point to a four-year, 50,000-mile limited warranty and a six-year, 70,000-mile powertrain warranty.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term ownership risk is that the infotainment system may remain a daily annoyance if you value simple controls.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Acura MDX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are considering a higher-mileage example or a vehicle with more equipment. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the tech interface feels acceptable to you in real-world use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model includes tri-zone automatic climate control, push-button start, synthetic leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, and heated front seats. The Technology Package adds ambient cabin lighting, navigation, a 12-speaker ELS premium stereo system, and genuine leather upholstery. The A-Spec Package adds sportier styling, an upgraded 16-speaker ELS audio system, perforated leather seats, ventilated front seats, and an in-cabin intercom system. The Advance Package adds a heated steering wheel, additional USB ports, remote start, and heated second-row seats. The Type-S Advance adds a 26-speaker ELS sound system and massaging front seats.
• Powertrain: The standard model uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque. The Type S uses a twin-scroll turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Power goes through a 10-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive or available Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive System.
• Safety package: The MDX comes standard with automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-departure warning, driver attention monitoring, traffic-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Technology Package adds front and rear parking sensors, reverse automatic emergency braking, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The Advance package adds a 360-degree parking camera system and a head-up display.
• Infotainment: The MDX uses a 12.3-inch display with a touchpad controller rather than a conventional touchscreen. It comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, satellite radio, HD radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, multiple USB ports, a fully digital instrument panel, and wireless device charging.
• Fuel efficiency: The FWD model returns 19 mpg city, 26 highway, 22 combined. Non-Type-S AWD versions return 19 mpg city, 25 highway, 21 combined. The Type-S test vehicle returns 17 mpg city, 21 highway, 19 combined.

Which 2024 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2024 Acura MDX is offered in 6 trim levels: base model, Technology Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package, Type-S, and Type-S Advance.

Here's the short version:

• base model: This is the value play if you want the core MDX experience with a strong standard feature set and no need to stretch for luxury extras. It already gives you the essentials, but you give up the upgraded audio, leather, and convenience features found higher up.
• Technology Package: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds navigation, ambient lighting, a 12-speaker ELS premium stereo system, and genuine leather upholstery without jumping all the way to the sportier or more expensive versions.
• A-Spec Package: Choose this if you want a more expressive look and a richer cabin feel, plus the 16-speaker ELS audio system, perforated leather seats, ventilated front seats, and the in-cabin intercom system.
• Advance Package: This is the comfort-focused choice, adding a heated steering wheel, additional USB ports, remote start, and heated second-row seats for a more family-friendly setup.
• Type-S: Pick this if performance matters most, since it brings the turbocharged V6, Brembo performance brakes, and adaptive air suspension.
• Type-S Advance: This is the top-end choice if you want the Type-S performance hardware plus the 26-speaker ELS sound system and massaging front seats.

The Technology Package is the best-value trim for most buyers, while the Advance and Type-S Advance trims make the most sense if you want more comfort or performance.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Acura MDX?

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a fire sale.

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,081 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.59% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $42,288, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Acura MDX's resale value?

The current average of $42,288 sits slightly below last year's $46,774.

That decline suggests the MDX is currently in a softer pricing phase, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. If you plan to sell later, the current market gives you a useful benchmark for what buyers are paying now. The stronger the condition, equipment, and history, the better your odds of protecting value when it is time to trade or sell.

Is the 2024 Acura MDX safe?

The 2024 Acura MDX earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard driver-assistance suite includes automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-departure warning, driver attention monitoring, traffic-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Technology Package adds front and rear parking sensors, reverse automatic emergency braking, and rain-sensing windshield wipers, while the Advance package adds a 360-degree parking camera system and a head-up display.

One caveat is that the infotainment touchpad can pull your attention away from the road more than a conventional touchscreen.

Should I buy a 2024 Acura MDX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.59% compared with last year.
• It adds a new Type-S trim level for stronger performance.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $39,117, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $42,288 average.
• It offers a more appealing ownership package with complimentary connected services and scheduled maintenance.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $48,789, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $42,288 average.
• It brings a refreshed cabin with simpler controls and more intuitive technology.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing, strong safety, and broad capability, the 2024 is the primary year to target. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2023 is the better value play; if you want the newest interface and refinement, the 2025 is worth the stretch.
