2024 Acura MDX SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 Acura MDX is a seven-seat midsize SUV offered in six trim levels (although Acura calls them packages): MDX, Technology, A-Spec, Advance, Type S and Type S Advance. The base and Technology trims come with front-wheel drive and offer optional all-wheel drive. All other MDX trims come standard with AWD. Keep reading for our editorial breakdown of the MDX's key features and specs.
Which MDX trim does Edmunds recommend?
We like the A-Spec not only for the extra flair of its stylish body kit but also for some of its extra features, such as ventilated front seats, premium audio system and sporty steering wheel. It also comes standard with all-wheel drive. The Type S is a sportier alternative, but the hefty premium over the standard MDX doesn't quite add up.
