Which Acura MDX trim should I buy?

The 2026 Acura MDX offers these trims:

• MDX: The base model gives you the core MDX experience, and it’s the starting point if you want the model’s comfort, space, and everyday usability at the lowest entry point.
• Technology: This package adds more equipment and is a strong value choice if you want a richer feature set without moving too far up the lineup.
• A-Spec: This trim adds blacked-out wheels and exterior trim, subtle styling changes, and bolder interior treatments with leather and artificial suede.
• Advance: This version adds a more upscale feel and is aimed at buyers who want a more premium presentation.
• A-Spec Advance: This is the best-value trim if you want the A-Spec styling with more upscale equipment, plus standard AWD.
• Type S Advance: This trim adds the more powerful turbocharged engine and other performance upgrades for buyers who want the most athletic MDX.

What Acura MDX do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you the broadest selection of recent-model inventory, which makes it easier to compare prices, trims, and equipment. They also tend to sit in the sweet spot between newer features and used-car value.

What is the Acura MDX's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The declines are fairly consistent across the lineup, with newer and older years both showing meaningful drops. The smallest changes are concentrated in the older model years, which suggests those versions have been moving more steadily than the rest.

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 −8.33% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.63%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $48,640. The Acura MDX offers a comfortable cabin, strong family usefulness, and a polished overall character that makes it easy to live with every day.

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, and the more expensive variants offer a surround-view camera system.
• 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.
