Acura trim levels explained
By CarWhere Research · Updated
Acura sells most models as one base trim plus packages — typically Technology, A-Spec and Advance — with Type S as the performance version of the MDX, TLX, Integra and ZDX. Packages bundle equipment rather than changing the engine, except on Type S models. CarWhere lays out 74 trims across 6 Acura models — MDX, RDX, TLX, Integra, ADX and ZDX — with dated base MSRPs, engines and key equipment.
