All of the different drivetrain options, packages, and engine choices available for the 2020 Acura MDX let you choose from a total of 11 different configurations, priced from $45,395 to $63,745. 
The Acura MDX is a luxury SUV that is just as well-known for its adept handling as it is for its family-friendly approach to comfort. With room for six to seven passengers, plenty of safety technology, and high-end details throughout, even the standard MDX is worthy of some praise. Still, if you’re looking for something a little more personal, the MDX and its options allow for quite a few configurations.
Finding the right combination for your needs and your budget takes a bit of research, but never fear:

2020 Acura MDX configurations

Technically, the 2020 Acura MDX only came in one
trim level
with a few different package options. But look a little closer, and you’ll find that there are a couple of other options that you might have noticed at first: the 2020
Acura MDX Sport
Hybrid and the 2020 Acura PMC Edition
But let's start with the basics. The main trim level of the MDX allows you to customize it with options for both drivetrain and packages. 
The standard drivetrain in most MDX models is
front-wheel drive
, but you can opt for Acura’s exclusive Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). In some packages, SH-AWD is standard. 
When it comes to packages, the 2020 Acura MDX models could be customized with the following:  
  • Technology
    : The perfect add-on for the tech-savvy
  • A-Spec®
    : An appearance package to make an impact 
  • Advance
    : Combines tech and style for a high-end result
  • Entertainment: Adds more advanced sound systems and rear-seat DVD players
All-in-all, there are 11 different possible configurations for your 2020 Acura MDX. Keep in mind that as the 2020 Acura MDX is already a couple of years out of date, you may not have access to as many package and trim options if you’re searching the used car market.
Every version, with the exception of the hybrid, comes with a
3.5-liter V6 engine
and a nine-speed automatic transmission. But what, exactly, differentiates them? Let’s take a look.

Acura MDX with SH-AWD

Acura MDX Sport Hybrid with SH-AWD

Starting price: $53,895
Speaking of fuel; if you’re looking for a more environmentally-friendly option in the line, look no further than the MDX Sport Hybrid.

All of the features of the technology package we cover below come standard here, as well as the features on the standard MDX and perks like:

  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror

Acura MDX Technology with FWD

Starting price: $49,500

Acura MDX Technology with SH-AWD

Starting price: $51,500
Combine the power of the MDX with all-wheel drive with the convenience and comfort of the Technology package. If you’re seriously considering this one, though, keep in mind that the Sport Hybrid trim comes standard with many of these features and all-wheel drive, and only sells for around $2,000 more. A difference you may even be able to make up for with the improved fuel economy. 

Acura MDX A-Spec® with SH-AWD

Starting price: $54,900
The A-Spec© package is an appearance package, though it includes the updates offered by the tech package. Step up your style with updated accents like sport ventilated front seats, Milano leather, and Alcantara trim. On the exterior, dark shadow accents on the bumper and grille create a more aggressive look. Models with this trim only come with all-wheel drive.

Acura MDX Advance with FWD

Starting price: $56,150
With the Advance trim, you’ll find yourself with room for six, rather than the usual seven, thanks to captain’s chairs replacing the second-row bench seat. You’ll also find ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, two USB ports added to the third row, and a head-up display

Acura MDX Advance with SH-AWD

Starting price: $58,100
Up your game a little further by opting for the decked-out luxury of the Advance package with the practical drivetrain of the SH-AWD. 

Acura MDX Sport Hybrid Advance with SH-AWD

Starting price: $59,750
The Advance trim of the more fuel-efficient hybrid comes with the features of the Technology package but adds front fog driving lights, Milano leather Seat trim, second-row captain’s chairs, heated and cooled front seats, and a 360-degree camera system. 

Acura MDX Entertainment with SH-AWD

Starting price: $53,300 (Technology/Entertainment) to $60,050 (Advance/Entertainment)
The Entertainment package can only be added to models with all-wheel drive, and only ones that are equipped with either the Technology or Advanced packages as well
If you do spring for it, though, you’ll get a slew of fun features that make the ride more enjoyable for drivers and passengers.
When paired with the Technology package you’ll get:
  • 11-speaker sound system

  • 9-inch rear-seat DVD player 
If you pair it with the Advance package, you’ll get:

Aside from rarity, a few other features set the PMC apart:
  • Valencia Red Pearl nano pigment paint
