While that's a significant difference, the range-topping Type S benefits from 3.0-liter V6 engine that's turbocharged to 355 horsepower, a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system, Acura's first air suspension system, and Brembo-sourced four-piston front brake calipers. In comparison, the base MDX starts at $48,245 including the same destination charge. Pricing for the Type S starts at $67,745 including a mandatory $1,045 destination charge. It's priced well above the entry-level MDX but it gains a long list of performance, comfort, and technology upgrades to make up for it.
