Acura Fuel Economy by Model: Which Acura Is Most Efficient?

There are five Acura models, and, as expected, the Acura sedan MPG is the most efficient, with the new Acura Integra being the strongest gas-only model. However, the SUVs are very competitive for their categories. Check out the chart below for specifics:

SUMMARY

The Integra has the strongest MPG numbers, while the ZDX has the best cost-savings for fuel, given that it's an all-electric vehicle. The ADX is the most efficient SUV at 28 MPG (Combined),1 while the MDX and RDX are quite close.

Do Acura Vehicles Require Premium Gas?

How do the gas-powered Acura models reach this impressive capability? With premium gas. High-octane fuel, typically 91 or higher, is required for Acura models to reach their full performance and fuel economy metrics. For example, the new Acura MDX could run on regular fuel and still be able to drive, but doing so regularly will reduce performance and range while may cause permanent damage to your engine.

SUMMARY

All gas-powered Acura models require premium fuel to achieve their expected performance and fuel economy metrics.

How Far Can an Acura Go On a Full Tank?

EPA-estimated MPG is not the only fuel metric that matters. Depending on the fuel tank size, your Acura model can go farther than its MPG suggests. Generally, Acura SUV MPG figures even out with sedan figures when you account for the larger gas tanks on these vehicles. Take the New Acura ADX as an example. While it has a standard MPG rating of 28 MPG (Combined)1 – less than the Integra and its EPA-estimated 32 MPG (Combined)1 – it compensates with a 14-gallon fuel tank. This lets the ADX reach up to 392 miles on a full tank,4 close to the Integra's maximum range of 397 miles4 – despite the difference in fuel economy.

The Acura MDX is even more drastic: despite having 10 fewer combined MPG than the Integra, the MDX has a maximum gas range of 407 miles.4 That's due to an 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the largest capacity in the lineup.

The ZDX is also competitive in range, even though it doesn't use fuel at all. On a full charge, the all-electric SUV can drive up to 327 miles with RWD.2 This is an impressive figure for an all-electric model, especially when considering how easy it is to charge it overnight.

SUMMARY

All Acura models provide an exquisite range on a full tank of gas. However, the MDX offers the most, at 407 miles.4

Acura Annual Fuel Cost: Which Model Saves You the Most?

According to the EPA, you can expect fuel to cost around $2,400 and $4,050 per year.5 The Integra costs the least, and the MDX Type S costs the most. This is relatively close to the EPA-estimated average for vehicles, especially since the Acura lineup requires premium fuel to function properly. Compared with other luxury SUVs, the Acura gas-powered lineup looks even stronger. For instance, the Audi A3 quattro sedan costs $2,750 per year to refuel, significantly more than the Integra.5

In terms of all-electric models, the ZDX is estimated to cost approximately $850 to recharge annually.5 This cost is the most likely to change, depending on whether you charge mostly at home, at paid Level 2 stations (such as at garages), or at Level 3 stations on the highway.

SUMMARY

The Acura ZDX costs the least to refill because it's an all-electric model that can be charged at available free charging stations. SUVs such as the MDX cost the most. The Integra has the lowest fuel costs for a gas-powered Acura model.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Acura ZDX measured in MPG or MPGe?

As an all-electric vehicle, the Acura ZDX is measured in MPGe. MPGe is an estimation of how efficiently the Acura ZDX uses electricity to power its battery-and-motor configuration. We do not recommend directly comparing the ZDX to another model, such as the RDX, in terms of MPG vs. MPGe.

How much MPG do you lose with SH-AWD?

Acura AWD vs. FWD MPG is honestly quite close. Generally, an Acura loses about one MPG (Combined) when going from FWD to AWD. For example, the Acura ADX FWD has 28 MPG (Combined), while the AWD model received an EPA-estimated 27 MPG (Combined).1 The MDX is a similar story.

Are Acura Type S models good on gas?

Acura Type S models are the worst on gas of their respective vehicle lineup, yet they are still fuel-efficient for a performance-oriented trim. For example, the MDX Type S has an EPA-estimated 19 MPG (Combined),1 which is not significantly lower than its standard AWD fuel economy number.
