Used 2023 Acura MDX SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2023 Acura MDX is a seven-seat midsize SUV offered in six trim levels (also referred to as packages): MDX, Technology, A-Spec, Advance, Type S and Type S Advance. The base and Technology trims come standard with front-wheel drive and offer all-wheel drive as an option. All other MDX trims come standard with AWD. Standard feature highlights include:
Which MDX trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest going with the A-Spec. Not only does its sporty body kit give the MDX much-needed flair, but the ventilated front seats are a near must-have for a luxury SUV. It's also the least expensive way to get the MDX's premium sound system. We like the all-around appeal of the Type S, but its value is dubious relative to the regular MDX.
