There's a hodge-podge of trims available: Base, Tech, A-Spec, Prestige Elite (my tester), Type S and Type S Ultra, ranging from $59,300 to a vertigo-inducing $84,400. That's quite the spread. Tech is the value option, and it shows as Acura released full 2024 specs on the public website, making my tester a bit redundant, and Tech is now the starting point. The non-Ultra Type S is gone too.
Non-S variants get the very last generation of Honda's venerable 3.5 litre V6, pumping out 290 hp, bolted to a 10-speed auto and Acura's SH-AWD. Despite being the lux option of the MDX range, my tester was quite zippy, to the point of questioning the value of the turbo 3-litre (355 hp) in the S. C/D reports minimal decrease in acceleration metrics.
