What Acura MDX do most buyers choose?

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

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right colour, trim, and price. They also sit in the newer part of the lineup, where shoppers often want a balance of modern features and used-market value.

What is the Acura MDX's resale value?

Most MDX model years are showing clear year-over-year price declines, which is good news if you’re shopping used and want more value for your money. The newer model years are also moving down, but by smaller percentages than many older ones, so recent inventory can still be attractive if you want newer features. Overall, the table points to a market that is giving buyers more room to negotiate across much of the lineup.

The 2022, 2025, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• Starting price: Prices range from $72,115 to $94,015, including the $2,595 destination charge and other fees.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 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.
