“It's a very stylish, sporty ride with lots of creature features. It handles well and is very quiet. Instrument panel is well thought out and intuitive. Driver seat is very comfortable. Passenger front seat has a "divider" separating the center console and passenger leg area - tall passengers may not like that.”

Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 Acura ADX is an all-new model and the first generation of Acura's premium compact SUV. It slots below the RDX in Acura's SUV lineup.
About the 2025 Acura ADX
1st generation, first year (all-new for 2025)
Acura positions the ADX as a right-sized premium compact SUV for buyers who want Acura style, tech, and everyday usefulness in a smaller package than the RDX. Official messaging emphasizes modern design, easy connectivity, comfort, cargo flexibility, and Acura's sporty character from the turbo engine and sharp steering. Its main draw is not outright speed, but the blend of upscale features, city-friendly size, and Acura branding for shoppers moving up from mainstream small crossovers.
The standard ADX focuses on everyday comfort and useful technology, with heated front seats, a moonroof, a digital instrument display, and wireless phone connectivity. A-Spec brings a sportier look, 19-inch wheels, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic moonroof, while the A-Spec with Advance Package adds leather seating, 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio, extra cameras, and parking aids.
