2022 MDX Type S Arriving for the Holidays

Just in time for the holidays, the turbocharged 2022 Acura MDX Type S will begin arriving in dealerships nationwide next week.

A high-performance version of the new Acura flagship, the MDX is the first Acura SUV to wear the Type S badge. It is also the most powerful, best handling, and most lavishly equipped Acura SUV ever.

MDX Type S has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $66,700, while MDX Type S with Advance Package has an MSRP of $72,050.

MDX Type S is one of three new Acura Type S models to debut this year, demonstrating how the spirit of Precision Crafted Performance is pulsing through the Acura core model live up. Acura Type S performance variants strengthen the fundamentals of driving performance with significant enhancements to each element of the vehicle experience (acceleration, braking and turning) – without compromising creature comforts or daily drivability.
