Acura MDX Submodels
The Acura MDX was a foundational model in the three-row luxury crossover segment when it launched for 2001. Based on Honda's global light truck platform, it combined family-friendly utility with Acura's VTEC V6 power and its signature Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The second generation (2007-2013) became a benchmark with its powerful 3.7L V6 and sharp styling, while the third generation (2014-2020) refined the formula with improved efficiency and more technology, including a hybrid option.
While not a traditional collector car, the MDX is prized by enthusiasts for its engineering, reliability, and the effectiveness of its SH-AWD system. Well-maintained examples, especially from the second generation, represent a high point for naturally aspirated Honda V6 performance in a practical package. They offer a rewarding driving experience that's often missing from their competitors.
The current market sees the MDX as a value-driven used SUV rather than a collectible. With an average sale price under $10,000, most transactions are for daily drivers. The wide price spectrum reflects the large age range, with older, higher-mileage models selling for under $5,000 and late-model, low-mileage examples commanding over $25,000.
Buying Tips
- Check for excessive oil consumption on 2010-2013 models with the 3.7L V6, as some were subject to a class-action suit for this issue.
- Test the transmission for smooth shifts. Early 3rd-gen models use a ZF 9-speed automatic that can feel jerky, while 2nd-gen transmissions require regular fluid services.
- Verify the function of the SH-AWD system. Listen for any noise from the rear differential and ensure no warning lights are present on the dash.
- Inspect all interior electronics. The dual-screen infotainment system in 3rd-gen models can be slow, and navigation screens on older models can fail.
Based on recent sales, prices range from $3,503 for older, high-mileage examples to $25,798 for newer, top-spec variants.
