The 2026 Acura MDX blends sportiness and luxury in an appealing three-row crossover SUV.
Aside from some minor updates regarding color availability, nothing changes for the 2026 MDX following a refresh for 2025. The MDX remains a sporty-looking, comfortable, and reliable vehicle intended for on-road use rather than off-road. Any excitement it generates comes primarily from its styling, unless you upgrade to the performance-oriented Type S version. Value remains a highlight in comparison to other midsize three-row rivals like the Audi Q7, but without a hybrid powertrain option, unimpressive fuel economy blunts any savings.
Verdict: Refreshingly, the 2026 Acura MDX embraces its crossover SUV status, emphasizing the paved-road ride and handling qualities that made crossovers popular in the first place. Comfortable, quiet, and decent to drive, it exudes quality, offers accessible technology, and provides good utility. All that’s missing is a hybrid option.

Super awesome vehicle. I just love the look & handling not to mention the powerful motor.
Infinity 80 like that car very much so nothing is wrong with this car arlt all everything else is done with care
Test drove the 2024 MDX SH-AWD, second trim level from the bottom. Extremely impressive quality and ride. Couldn’t get past the nearly $60 k out the door stealership price. But nice car!
Initial impressions of our MDX Type S Advance - powerful, smooth & quiet. Excellent value. Cross shopped Q7 & X5. Comparably equipped, they are $10K more than the MDX. Would like to see a bit better quality feel in dash switch gear and materials as well as A/C vents for the third row. Also a bit less of the piano black treatment.
The car is awesome. Got a good deal on it.
