Is the Acura MDX a good car?

Yes — the Acura MDX is a strong used pick if you want a three-row luxury SUV with broad appeal and a consistently positive owner response.

The all-generations owner rating is 4.57/5 across every model year in the data.

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

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 78.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: AcuraWatch
• Infotainment: a 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 experience with front-wheel drive, while still leaving room to add AWD; it suits you if you want the entry point into the lineup.
• Technology: This package adds more equipment while keeping the MDX’s everyday-friendly character, and it’s a strong value choice if you want a richer feature set without moving up to the sportier versions.
• 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 setup.
• A-Spec Advance: This is the best-value trim if you want the MDX’s style-forward look with the richer interior treatments and standard AWD.
• Type S Advance: This trim adds the more powerful turbocharged engine and other performance upgrades, making it the choice 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 model years tend to be popular because they give you the newest features, broad availability, and a strong mix of pricing and deal opportunities. They also sit close enough to current production that you can shop for a newer MDX without jumping all the way to the newest model year.

What is the Acura MDX's resale value?

The table shows broad price declines across the MDX lineup, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want more value than you would have gotten a year ago. The drops are especially pronounced in the newer model years, while the older ones show smaller changes. That pattern suggests you can find meaningful savings across a wide range of model years.

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 −9.16% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −9.67%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 37.4%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $48,363. The Acura MDX offers a comfortable cabin, strong family-friendly space, and a polished overall character that makes it easy to live with.

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 blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic high-beam headlights are also standard.
• 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.
