So $68k and some change for the Advance model...give it a year and they will be discounted. I'm in Northwest Chicago and remaining (2024) Advance models are around $5k off msrp and Type S 'Advance' models are around $7k off msrp. The closer we get to July (2025 model) release the higher the discounts...some of these models in my area have been on the dealer lots for up to 6 months.
i am not...Starting increase is $750. TYPE S Advance to Advance is $2.5K up. Why compare base TYPE S to Advance? The demand for Advance is higher, so Acura made it simple! Order advance and with the changes, the price increase is $2.5K. There is no more TYPE S standard, buy Advance or go drive Pallisade
If C&D can spin it one way, I don't see why Tony cannot spin it in the other.
I do not want to admit this, but Mazda CX-90 has successfully cut into the sales of MDX. I would suggest replacing Pallisade with CX-70/90, or Kia EV9(the lease deal is insane).

Bravo Well said...We all can spin it the way we want it....free forum
Jesus, 31 speakers. I think it’s safe to say we are well past the point of diminishing returns…which in other words means the MDX is wading farther and farther out of the premium space and into luxury territory, as befitting of the flagship.
Though, gatekeeping it behind the Type S badge is kind of odd, since Type S is marketed to be all about performance, no?
Has anyone recently compared the 2024 MDX Type S Advance with the 2024 BMW X5 40i-Xdrive (fully loaded)? Looking at the price, BMW comes to 70k well equipped vs Type S MDX... not trying to start an argument, but seriously ask: if someone did compare these two, why Type S makes more sense?
I have been Honda/Acura owner since 2007 and yes reliability is there, and also retention value is horrible on Beemers - but outside of those two things, what else works in favor of Type S?
My opinion is that even Type S is a heavy underperformer for the price paid...

$70K sounds very low for a well-equipped X5 40i xDrive. Base price itself is $70K and it doesn't include many of the safety/driver assistance features that come standard on the Acura. I think closer to $80K is what you would pay for the X5. But BMW has a numb steering. My RDX is more fun to drive than my 2015 328i was. When you load up the BMW, it might be a better car than the Acura but it will cost big time. Nothing beats Acura in terms of value.

Simple. The Type S badge. Years from now no one is going to be looking for the BMW but those Type R owners will probably be looking for used Type S’s…. Don’t know. Having owned my 15 Advanced for 10+ years I can also point to it possible lasting longer if you decide to keep.
X5 is the better, more well-rounded car to be honest. Especially the tech has pulled further away from MDX-S after mid-cycle refresh. But MDX-S is close enough, has the 3rd-row flexibility, and will always be cheaper to maintain than a BMW. It is a great alternative for people who like Acura, especially when the few remaining MY24 are on clearance now.
Redline reviews in real world driving…6.1 seconds to 60…yikes that’s slow.
His numbers have been all over the place (IIRC he had the RDX at 5.7), so it’s probably not that bad. That said, the motor (now that the Touchpad is finally dead) is the weakest part of the car. The rest of the car is really good, but that motor really should have been the base motor, not the performance one. Consider that the X7, which is 700lb heavier, also has a turbo-six as their base motor, except it’s about 20% better on fuel and hauls it to 60 in under 5s. And that’s not even their performance trim. When I test drove the MDX Type S, my feeling is that this is an appropriate amount of power for a midsize luxury crossover. However, that also means as a performance luxury crossover, it’s underpowered.

My 2015 is 6.5, I have a Ford Lightning with a 0-60 in 3.8. Guess how often I try out that 0-60....... My 2015 MDX is great all around while being low on maintenance cost. There are plenty of faster SUV's out there, and again, in my opinion, the Type S badging just takes it up a notch for me.

I own a 2024 Type-S. When shopping for a new car, I wanted an X5, spent two weeks at the BMW dealer pricing what I wanted. Here in Canada the Beemer was 128,600 dollars, had to get driving package to get adaptive cruise (a must for me). One day I dropped in to Acura dealer and they had a Tiger Eye coloured one in the show room. 89,000 dollars and it was mine. No regrets. The Bemmer is more prestigious but...

89k CAD is about $65k USD. Not bad for a Type S! Personally I would have gone for a MY25 MDX to avoid the TrueTouch but to each their own!

Nice move! I think you got the more standout car and something you can actually keep for a while without headaches. Where I live anyway, BMWs are ubiquitous and they all blend together. I've seen maybe one or two Tiger Eye MDX in the wild.
