How much does the 2024 Acura MDX cost?

Prices have softened 9.38% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,047 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $43,144.09, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Acura MDX a good car?

With a 3.5/5 user rating and an expert rating of 7.83/10, the 2024 Acura MDX lands in the strong-but-not-perfect range for luxury SUV shoppers.

The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Safety.

It stands out for being comfortable, refined, and family-friendly, with a spacious interior and a strong safety reputation. The Type-S trim adds a performance edge with a turbocharged engine, but the standard setup is already aimed at everyday commuting and long road trips.

The main trade-offs are the frustrating infotainment system and the fact that it doesn’t match some rivals for space or overall polish. Even so, the MDX’s standard feature set is broad, and the market shows 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Is the 2024 Acura MDX reliable?

The 2024 Acura MDX is presented as a solid long-term bet, with a reputation for reliability and a strong overall ownership profile.

Its powertrain lineup is straightforward, and the expert evaluation describes the MDX as well-rounded and cost-effective. The standard warranty coverage also helps support ownership confidence.

The performance write-up emphasizes that the MDX is refined, comfortable, and composed over bumps, which is the kind of durability-minded behavior used buyers usually want from a family SUV.

Acura also backs the MDX with a four-year, 50,000-mile limited warranty and a six-year, 70,000-mile powertrain warranty.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is that the infotainment frustration may become a daily annoyance even if the mechanical package holds up well.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or a more heavily optioned trim. Focus on overall condition, interior wear, and whether the tech and controls work the way you expect them to.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base model includes synthetic leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable front seats, and heated front seats, while higher trims add genuine leather, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and massaging front seats.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.5-liter V6 makes 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, while the Type-S uses a twin-scroll turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque.
• Safety package: Standard equipment 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. Higher trims add parking sensors, reverse automatic emergency braking, a 360-degree parking camera system, and a head-up display.
• Infotainment: The MDX uses a 12.3-inch display 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 most efficient version returns 19 mpg city, 26 highway, 22 combined. Non-Type-S AWD versions return 19 mpg city, 25 highway, 21 combined, and the Type-S returns 17 mpg city, 21 highway, 19 combined.

Which 2024 Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2024 Acura MDX is offered in 7 trim levels: Technology Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package, Type-S, Type-S Advance, and the base model.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: You get a strong standard feature set, but you miss out on navigation, upgraded audio, leather upholstery, and the extra comfort and convenience features found higher up the range.
• Sweet-spot trim: The Technology Package is the best value if you want navigation, ambient cabin lighting, genuine leather upholstery, and a 12-speaker ELS premium stereo.
• Premium/top trim: The Type-S Advance is the most luxurious choice, adding the 26-speaker ELS sound system and massaging front seats on top of the Type-S equipment.
• Off-road trim: The Type-S includes a Lift mode that adds two inches of ground clearance, but it’s still best suited to pavement-focused driving.

The standard safety suite is broad, and the Technology Package adds parking sensors and reverse automatic emergency braking if you want more driver-assistance coverage.

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 every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.38% compared with last year.

What is the 2024 Acura MDX's resale value?

The current average of $43,426 sits slightly below last year's $47,920.

That price movement suggests the MDX has softened enough to help you buy more favorably today, but it also means future sellers may face some depreciation pressure if the market stays soft.

If you buy at the current average or below, you’re starting from a more realistic entry point than last year’s shoppers. That can help limit your downside if you plan to resell after a few years.

The strongest resale case will likely come from well-kept examples with desirable equipment and clean history reports.

Is the 2024 Acura MDX safe?

The 2024 MDX earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a best score of Good in all phases of IIHS evaluation. It’s also a 2022 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and it earns a best score of Superior for its crash-prevention technology.

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

The MDX comes with a comprehensive suite of standard driver-assistance features: 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.

Higher trims add front and rear parking sensors, reverse automatic emergency braking, a 360-degree parking camera system, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a head-up display.

One caveat is that the infotainment touchpad can pull your attention away from the road, which undercuts some of the benefit of the otherwise strong safety hardware.

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:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Prices have softened 9.38% compared with last year.
• It adds a new Type-S trim level for stronger performance.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $40,273, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $43,426 average.
• It offers a well-rounded luxury SUV with a strong blend of luxury, performance, and practicality.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $49,615, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $43,426 average.
• It brings a new touchscreen infotainment system that replaces the touchpad interface.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, safety, and capability, the 2024 is the sweet spot. If you’re focused on saving money, the 2023 is the better value. If you want the improved infotainment experience, it’s worth stretching to the 2025.
