Which Acura MDX trim should I buy?
The 2026 Acura MDX offers these trims:
- MDX: The base model gives you the core MDX formula with a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation display, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and standard front-wheel drive, making it the entry point for shoppers who want the essentials.
- Technology: This package adds more equipment and can be paired with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, making it a smart value choice if you want a more complete luxury setup without moving to the sportier appearance packages.
- A-Spec: This trim adds blacked-out wheels and exterior trim, subtle styling changes, bolder interior treatments, and standard all-wheel drive for a more distinctive look.
- Advance: This package builds on the MDX with more upscale equipment and can be paired with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, making it a strong pick if comfort and convenience matter most.
- A-Spec Advance: This combines the A-Spec styling upgrades with the Advance equipment, giving you the best-value blend of appearance and features if you want a more premium feel.

- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −10.83% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.55%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.2% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.6%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $47,320. The Acura MDX offers a comfortable, family-friendly cabin with a polished, premium 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. 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.

This car, the Acura MDX is a total surprise to me. The features are sophisticated and just the right amount of technology and swag that makes it an eye catching bang for my bucks. I came out of a Tahoe with great features and good looks that turned heads and attracted inquiries. My MDX is getting so many compliments and attention from my friends, family, and group members because the maintenance record was impressive and it has the look of luxury; it's a stylish vehicle, that boasts reliability second only to Toyota Lexus. I enjoy driving the MDX and the only thing missing is free oil changes.

Overview
Like it or not, SUVs are where it’s at in the automotive world. Some automakers have entirely given up coupes and sedans in favor of hulking SUV and family-hauling pickup trucks. For enthusiasts, it can feel like the world is falling down around them, but some automakers are trying to maintain the excitement, even with seven people in tow.
The Acura MDX is a sporty three-row crossover that until recently shared plenty with the Honda Pilot. It comes standard with a powerful V6 and plenty of great features, and Acura offers upgrade packages rather than trim levels to add features and tech. Available upgrades include the Advance Package, the Technology Package, and the A-Spec Package. There’s also a rowdy Type S model with 355 horsepower and loads of go-fast bits.
The Acura MDX competes in a crowded class that includes the Buick Enclave, the Hyundai Palisade, the Kia Telluride, the Lincoln Aviator, and the Volvo XC90. Buyers may also consider the smaller RDX, but for a luxury SUV buyer needing three rows, the MDX is a better choice.
Generations: Four
- Acura MDX 1st Generation
- Acura MDX 2nd Generation
- Acura MDX 3rd Generation
- Acura MDX 4th Generation
Pros: Sharp styling, powerful V6 engines, long list of standard features, decent fuel economy
Cons: Hard-to-use infotainment, tight third row
Acura MDX 4th Generation (2022-Present)
Acura actually skipped the 2021 model year in favor of sending the MDX straight to a 2022 model. It still gets a 290-horsepower V6, but Acura added an available panoramic sunroof, a new 12.3-inch infotainment display, a configurable digital gauge cluster, and better safety tech. Inside, MDX models offer high-end finishes and niceties such as a 16-way power driver’s seat and Alcantara upholstery.
The big story with the fourth-generation MDX is the new Type-S model. It gets a turbo 3.0-liter V6 with 355 horsepower and all-wheel drive (AWD). The upgrades slashed zero-to-60 times from the mid-six-second range in the standard SUV to the mid-fives in the Type-S. It also gets adaptive dampers that greatly reduce body roll and improve handling, making the MDX Type-S a seriously sporty family hauler. Sport front seats and paddle shifters complete the package.
Acura went heavy on tech and safety equipment, making its AcuraWatch safety systems standard. Available tech includes adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, forward-collision mitigation, and more. All models get LED headlights, push-button start, automatic climate controls, and navigation, and top trims add wireless charging, an ELS Studio premium audio system, and more.
Regardless of trim level, the touchpad infotainment system is confounding and frustrating at times. Acura equips a navigation system as standard, and Acuralink apps are also present by default.
Acura MDX 3rd Generation (2014-2020)
The third-generation MDX is the model that brought the SUV into the modern age. Over its six-year run, the third-gen MDX picked up loads of tech including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, upscale features like heated and ventilated seats, and refined handling for a three-row SUV. It’s also one of the most usable MDXs from a family perspective.
Acura sold the third-gen MDX in front-wheel drive (FWD) or “Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive” (SH-AWD) configurations. All models got a 3.5-liter V6 that made 290 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission was standard early on, but Acura bumped it to a nine-speed auto in 2016. In 2017, Acura introduced a hybrid variant with a V6 and dual-clutch transmission. Later, an A-Spec trim debuted that would form the precursor to today’s MDX Type-S.
Acura MDX 2nd Generation (2007-2013)
The second-gen MDX landed in 2007 with the now-infamous “beak” grille. Beyond its controversial styling, the new SUV got more power, better handling, a ton of new tech, and upscale finishes inside.
The MDX’s V6 grew to 3.7 liters with the new generation. The increase in displacement brought 300 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, a zero-to-60-mph time of 6.5 seconds, and an EPA-estimated fuel efficiency of up to 21 mpg highway. Acura swapped four-wheel drive (4WD) for Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), which offered an active rear differential.
Acura included loads of upscale features as standard kit, including leather seats, Xenon headlights, a power moonroof, a premium stereo, and more. This generation also said goodbye to Acura MDX trim levels, replacing them with upgrade packages that included the Technology Package, the Sport Package, and the Entertainment Package.
Acura MDX 1st Generation (2001-2006)
The all-new Acura MDX debuted in 2001 on a platform shared with the Honda Accord sedan and Odyssey minivan. Later, the Honda Pilot would ride on the same underpinnings. Acura equipped the early MDX with a 3.5-liter V6 producing 240 horsepower. Automatic 4WD came standard, and power hit the wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
The first MDX was much smaller and lighter than the SUVs we think of today. It checked in with a curb weight of just 4,400 pounds. Surprisingly, it offered third-row seating, though the last row was only really large enough for two people.
Acura’s 4WD system provided predictive, rather than reactive, traction. In other words, the system tried to predict when the vehicle would lose grip and would engage four-wheel drive. The rear wheels disengaged during normal driving to provide better fuel economy.
Acura revised the MDX’s powertrain in 2006, giving it an additional 20 horsepower and more torque. The improvements raised the SUV’s top speed to 137 mph and decreased its zero-to-60-mph time to 7.1 seconds.
