Used Acura MDX for Sale nearCape Girardeau, MO

How much does the Acura MDX cost in today's market?

Used Acura MDX prices span a wide range depending on model year. Here's what the market looks like right now:

The Acura MDX's current nationwide average price is $32,800, and its year-round low is $28,656.49. That puts the model in a broad price band that spans older value picks through newer, more expensive examples.

Recently, prices have come down for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the Acura MDX is a strong used luxury SUV choice if you want three-row practicality, comfort, and a well-equipped cabin. The all-generations owner rating is 4.57/5 across every model year in the data.

Owners consistently praise the MDX for its spacious interior, smooth ride, and comfortable daily driving character. Reliability and safety also come up often in owner feedback, along with appreciation for the vehicle’s blend of luxury and practicality.

Expert reviews rate the 2022 and 2019 models among the highest across all years.

The main trade-offs are the cramped third row, poor fuel economy, and infotainment systems that can be frustrating in some years. Even so, the MDX remains appealing because it delivers a lot of family-friendly utility and upscale feel for the money.

33.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 78.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.

• Infotainment: 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto
• Fuel efficiency: While the official EPA fuel economy estimate is 21 mpg combined, we observed 17.9 mpg on our SoCal evaluation loop. Prior to that, over 160 miles of driving, the MDX averaged 19.2 mpg, including a 100-mile round-trip to Pasadena on free-flowing freeways.

Which Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2026 Acura MDX offers these trims:

• MDX: The base model gives you the core MDX formula, and it pairs with the Technology package as the entry point for shoppers who want the model’s standard luxury-SUV character.
• A-Spec: This trim adds blacked-out wheels and exterior trim, subtle styling changes, and bolder interior treatments with leather and artificial suede.
• Technology: This package adds the MDX’s upgraded tech-focused equipment and is the best-value choice for shoppers who want more features without moving up to the sportier appearance packages.
• Advance: This package adds a more upscale equipment mix for buyers who want a richer-feeling MDX.
• A-Spec Advance: This trim combines the A-Spec styling treatment with Advance-level equipment, plus standard all-wheel drive.
• Type S Advance: This is the performance-focused choice, adding the turbocharged engine and other upgrades for improved performance.

What Acura MDX do most buyers choose?

The Acura MDX years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to draw the most attention because they give you more inventory to compare and a wider spread of prices and equipment. That usually makes it easier to find the right combination of features, condition, and value.

What is the Acura MDX's resale value?

Most Acura MDX model years are showing declines from a year ago, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The biggest drops are in the double-digit range, while a few years are falling more slowly, so the market is giving buyers a range of opportunities depending on how new you want to go.

The 2018, 2016, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Acura MDX now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −7.21% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.79%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.1%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $42,466. The Acura MDX offers a comfortable, family-friendly cabin with three-row practicality and a polished overall feel.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Most MDX models have a 3.5-liter V6 engine under their hoods. It generates 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque, and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Acura’s Integrated Dynamics System driving modes, including Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport.
• Tech: A 12.3-inch digital instrumentation display pairs with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and it offers wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
• Safety: Acura bundles most of the MDX’s driver aids into a package called AcuraWatch.
• Starting price: Prices range from $53,150 to $77,200, including the $1,350 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
