2024 Acura MDX A-Spec vs. Type S - Dollars & Sense

We put the 2024 Acura MDX A-Spec against the 2024 Acura MDX Type S to see if the (at the time of publishing) $18,000 CAD/$13,250 USD difference is and if there's enough value to go with the high output Type S.

Both have plenty of standard safety, a comfortable cabin and a long list of standard features.

Which would you pick between the A-Spec and Type S?

[julianp.]

I don't think the Type-S is aimed at the average MDX owner. I went with the Type-S vs an X5 or a Q8. Love mine. This car is a bargain for what you get compared to it's German competitors. IMO - The base MDX feels very pedestrian while the Type-S feels sporty - Especially in Sport and Sport + modes. First car I've actually used the modes.

I have a 2024 MDX Advance. Best of all models. LOADED! Luv the touch pad!

Im with you did my same research and bought and Aspec y could not justified that 18K

What would you say, perhaps the MDX vs the CX90? Is it a fair comparison?

[mr.d]

Did you actually driver both cars and compared? Did you check their sizers and internal space? Also, even the Mdx tech trim is light years faster then the most powerful cx90

At the price point of the MDX type S ultra is rather get the Genesis gv70 sport prestige. It’s more powerful, has way more features, the adaptive suspension actually scans the road in front of you and adapts the suspension immediately for what’s coming whether it’s on the left the right or both sides. The sound system I heard is 1200 watts and absolutely amazing. Everything about it makes it a much better choice especially at this price point.

Great job! I’m out on the ultra! Thanks

Great video showing all the nuances and how expensive this Acura.
SHAWD is a gimmick from Acura. Over engineered without any substance…does Acura really think that owners are driving like a jack rabbit all the time and throwing the car into corners consistently? Ridiculous Acura marketing and hype.
70K for an Acura which is essentially a Honda with fake leather and fake wood????
Absolute disastrous pricing. Why is Acura even still a brand? Honda should abandoned this overpriced brand. Even a Mazda is better quality, better interior and options for a lot lower price…Mazdas are even more luxurious.
