The 2026 Acura MDX and MDX Type S

2026 MDX (Scroll down for Type S)

America's Best-Selling Three-Row Luxury SUV

Riding on a performance-focused ultra-rigid platform with double wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear suspension and an Integrated Dynamics System with Individual mode, the 2026 MDX puts the driver first. Inside, the luxurious interior clearly positions the MDX as Acura’s three-row flagship. Offered in six well-equipped model grades, every MDX features impressive equipment.

 

 

 

  

ALLURING SYTLE

The 2026 MDX features Acura’s expressive design language first seen in the Acura Precision Concept. A dynamic Diamond Pentagon grille and long, sculpted hood convey power and presence while a low and wide body with bulging shoulders sets the stage for performance. In profile view, the available 20-inch wheels are pushed to the corners, giving the MDX a long wheelbase and an aggressive stance. The available A-Spec® model pushes MDX style to new heights.

POWER AND REFINEMENT

For confident power and responsiveness, the MDX features a smooth and refined 3.5‑liter, 290‑horsepower V‑6 coupled with a smart 10‑speed automatic transmission. Convenient steering wheel paddle shifters make it second nature to take control on your favorite road. Front‑wheel drive is standard on the MDX and the MDX with Technology Package. Torque‑vectoring Super‑Handling All‑Wheel Drive™ (SH‑AWD®) is available on those models and standard on A‑Spec®, Advance, and A‑Spec Advance.

ATHLETIC HANDLING

The MDX features an advanced platform built for high performance, refined ride comfort and exceptional cabin quietness. With a highly rigid structure, the MDX is engineered to support Type S levels of performance, as well as advanced collision protection and pedestrian safety capability. A brawny chassis featuring double wishbone front suspension plus a multi-link rear suspension combine to deliver sharp and sporty handling with exceptional road holding and ride comfort.

A SENSATIONAL SOUNDTRACK

The MDX offers an impressive range of sophisticated audio systems. The Acura Premium Audio System with 11 speakers is standard; the Technology, A-Spec®, Advance and A-Spec Advance feature a Bang & Olufsen® Premium Sound System with 19 speakers. Crafted by the highly respected Danish audiophile brand, the system offers a spectacular listening experience that features power, precision and emotion.

POWERED BY GOOGLE BUILT-IN

Google built-in offers state-of-the-art voice recognition capability that makes it easy to get information, find a destination and so much more. Google Maps is also built in, so you get swift, smart guidance to your destination. Plus, you can download apps from the Google Play Store to add features and capabilities. With standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, you’ll have easy access to your phone right on the 12.3-inch center touchscreen display. Even better – with standard Qi-compatible wireless charging, you can easily keep your smartphone juiced up on the go. No wires needed.

SIT BACK AND RELAX

In the MDX with Advance Package and higher, the 16-way power driver and front-passenger seats feature nine unique massage modes in the seat cushion and seatback – including three modes targeted at alertness, reduced fatigue and increased energy.

Choose your mode and intensity:

• Wave
• Awake
• Upper Back
• Shiatsu
• Fusion
• Rejuvenation
• Step
• Lower Back
• Zen 

DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Inside the MDX, you’re surrounded by high-grade, authentic materials, including brushed aluminum, available open-pore wood and soft-touch Milano Leather. Optimally bolstered sport seats offer all-day comfort and secure support for aggressive cornering. Overhead, an ultra-wide panoramic moonroof expands the roomy and accommodating cabin. The available IconicDrive™ LED lighting lets you set the perfect mood when the sun goes down.

COMFORTABLE, VERSATILE INTERIOR

Even with all of its focused performance edge, the MDX Type S gives up none of its welcoming interior utility and versatility with first-class seating in all three rows. The second-row-seat center section is quickly removable – instantly creating a captain’s chair layout. Getting into the roomy third row of seating? A single touch of an illuminated button instantly clears the way to easily step in from either side of the vehicle. An ingenious reversible cargo floor behind the third row instantly adapts to tall cargo or provides hidden underfloor storage for valuables. The Power Lift Tailgate with Hands-Free Access and Walk Away Close makes life even easier.

ADVANCED BRAKING SYSTEM

The MDX Type S offers elevated performance on all fronts: Acceleration, cornering and braking. Upgraded brake components give the MDX Type S solid pedal feel with enhanced braking power and fade resistance.

• Massive (and eye-catching) bright-red fixed four-piston Brembo® front brake calipers
• Larger-diameter, thicker ventilated front discs
• Red single-piston floating rear calipers
• Electro-servo brake-by-wire technology
• More consistent brake pedal feel in aggressive driving

SPORT-TUNED SUSPENSION

The MDX Type S has an exclusive and advanced Adaptive Air Suspension with Auto Leveling that combines amazing ride comfort with athletic sporting agility. It’s the ultimate in versatility and performance, wherever the road takes you.

• Cruising at speed – 40% lower spring rate for comfort and road isolation
• Driving aggressively – Selectable ride height drops the vehicle 15mm in Sport and Sport+ modes
• Facing challenging situations – Lift mode raises the body 50mm for increased ground clearance
• Loaded up or towing – Automatic body leveling compensates
• Getting in or out – Selectable parked height for easier ingress and egress

IN TUNE WITH YOU

The Dynamic Mode selector positioned in the instrument panel transforms the feel of the MDX Type S over a wide tuning range, to seamlessly orchestrate everything from interior lighting to torque vectoring—and much more. The MDX Type S can be everything you want it to be with a twist of the wrist.
