The 2022+ MDX is the best generation — a genuine luxury vehicle with Honda reliability. The Type S (2022+) with the 3.0T V6 is impressively fast. For used buyers, the 2014-2020 3rd generation is a great value — spacious and reliable (just not the 2001-2006). Avoid 1st-gen MDX with the automatic transmission. Budget $1,500-$2,500/year for maintenance.
