Which MDX trim does Edmunds recommend?
Acura has reshuffled which trim comes with what, which makes us think the MDX Technology Package is the better buy these days. You get the new Bang & Olufsen audio system, leather seats, the new touchscreen and updated driver assist systems, plus all-wheel drive is optional. The A-Spec has some unique styling tweaks and comes with standard all-wheel drive.
