• Technology: This trim adds more equipment and can be paired with front-wheel drive or AWD, making it the best-value choice if you want a richer feature set without moving too far up the price ladder.
• A-Spec: This version adds blacked-out wheels and exterior trim, subtle styling changes, and bolder interior treatments with leather and artificial suede.

What Acura MDX do most buyers choose?

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

They also sit close enough to the current model to deliver newer features while still offering meaningful savings versus buying new.

What is the Acura MDX's resale value?

Most Acura MDX model years are showing lower prices than a year ago, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The newer years in particular have seen sharper drops, while the older models in the table have moved down more gradually. That creates a wide spread of opportunities depending on how much you want to spend and how recent you want your MDX to be.

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

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 a 10.5-inch head-up display is also available.
• Safety: Acura bundles most of the MDX’s driver aids into a package called AcuraWatch. They include: forward-collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, and adaptive cruise control with traffic-jam assist.
• Starting price: Prices range from $53,150 to $77,200, including the $1,350 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
