Key Points

The pause affects only the performance trim, not the MDX nameplate or its production: Acura’s East Liberty, Ohio, plant will continue building standard MDX models, and the company characterizes the move as a hiatus rather than a cancellation.
2
The MDX Type S’s turbocharged J30AC V-6 is shared only with the TLX Type S; with both models leaving the lineup, Acura will no longer offer a factory-turbocharged six-cylinder vehicle.

Beyond its engine and chassis hardware, the Type S includes a 10-speed automatic transmission and Acura’s SH-AWD system; the Type S Advance also adds Sport+ and Lift modes that lower or raise the adaptive air suspension.

But it makes up less than 10% of U.S. MDX sales — roughly 2,400 vehicles in the first half of 2026 out of 24,000 total MDX sales. The standard MDX will keep running at Acura's Ohio plant.
