Under the hood, the 2026 Acura MDX keeps its proven powertrains that offer performance and versatility. The standard 3.5 liter V6 engine generates 290 horsepower and 267 pound feet of torque, paired with a 10 speed automatic transmission. For drivers craving more exhilaration, the MDX Type S features a 3.0 liter turbocharged V6 producing 355 horsepower and 354 pound feet of torque. Acura’s Super Handling All Wheel Drive system is available to provide superior grip and control in changing weather conditions or on winding Tennessee backroads. With its double wishbone front suspension and multi link rear suspension, the MDX offers sharp handling while maintaining the comfort of a true luxury SUV.
Step inside the 2026 MDX and you will find a cabin that blends craftsmanship with advanced technology. Three rows of seating accommodate up to seven passengers, with premium Milano leather and open pore wood trim available. The second row offers sliding and reclining seats, while an optional removable middle seat provides easy access to the third row. The 12.3 inch touchscreen display anchors the dashboard, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The Bang & Olufsen sound system features up to 31 speakers in the Type S Advance, delivering studio quality audio. Generous cargo space and fold flat rear seats ensure the MDX adapts to your needs with ease.
Acura’s commitment to safety continues in the 2026 MDX. Every model is built on the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, designed to distribute crash energy away from the cabin in the event of a collision. The AcuraWatch suite of driver assistive technologies comes standard, featuring Collision Mitigation Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Traffic Sign Recognition. Blind Spot Information and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor are also standard, giving you added awareness in busy traffic or tight parking areas. Next generation airbags provide enhanced protection for the driver and passenger, while side curtain airbags with rollover sensors protect all three rows.
The 2026 MDX carries over the major 2025 refresh that added a new touchscreen infotainment system, updated styling, and Bang & Olufsen audio. The 2026 model refines these updates with small changes to features, trim availability, and pricing, making it even more polished.

Type S trims see higher demand than the rest of the MDX lineup. If we don’t have the exact configuration in stock, typical Type S allocation from the factory runs 4–8 weeks depending on color and option package. We can place a factory order, and if you put a deposit down, we’ll lock in current pricing and incentives. Many of our Type S buyers find a comparable in-stock unit and take delivery the same week.
We’re competitive with every Acura dealer in Tennessee, Kentucky, and the surrounding region. What differs dealer-to-dealer is dealer discount, doc fee, and trade value. We invite you to bring us any written offer from another Acura dealer and we’ll do our best to beat it. We’ve had customers drive from as far as Memphis, Knoxville, and Atlanta because the all-in deal worked out better here.
Yes, and we encourage it. Tennessee tax law lets you pay sales tax only on the difference between your trade value and the new MDX price, which is a real savings. Get an instant trade estimate using our Value Your Trade tool, or bring it in — our appraisers will give you a firm written offer in about 20 minutes, with no obligation to buy. If you’re upside-down on your current loan, we’ll walk you through your options honestly.
Every new MDX comes with the Acura factory warranty (4-year/50,000-mile limited, 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain), 2 years of complimentary scheduled maintenance from Acura, and AcuraLink connected services. From Gary Force specifically, you also get our Complimentary First Service program and a complimentary car wash with every paid service visit. Loaner vehicles are available for qualifying service appointments based on availability — ask your service advisor when you schedule.

Absolutely. Our service department welcomes any Acura owner — original purchase doesn’t matter. We’re an Acura Authorized Service center with factory-trained technicians, OEM parts, and direct access to Acura technical support. If you bought your MDX from another dealer or out of state and just moved to the Nashville area, we’ll set you up in our system and treat you like family from day one. Schedule online or call 615-377-0500.
The MDX is typically $8,000–$15,000 less than a comparably-equipped BMW X5 and offers more standard equipment than the Genesis GV80 at the base trim level. For middle Tennessee drivers, the MDX’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive handles winter weather in higher elevations (Sewanee, Monteagle, the Smokies) better than the X5’s xDrive in our experience, and the MDX carries a stronger reliability reputation. We have a side-by-side comparison page for the 2026 MDX vs. the competition if you want to dig into specs.
