2026 Acura ADX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2026 Acura ADX is a quiet carryover with no major product changes. It remains the same first-generation small SUV introduced for 2025.
About the 2026 Acura ADX
1st generation (2025-present), second model year; no refresh.
Acura positions the ADX as its gateway premium compact SUV: a smaller, easier-to-place Acura with sharp styling, useful cargo room, turbo power, and simple everyday tech. The brand’s own messaging leans on “Modern Edge,” “Effortless Connectivity,” and a “Sleek And Spacious” cabin. Compared with rivals, the ADX is meant to feel more premium than a mainstream small SUV without becoming as large or expensive as the RDX.
The base ADX focuses on easy daily use, with a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and a broad driver-assistance suite. A-Spec adds a sportier look, a panoramic moonroof, and ventilated front seats. A-Spec with Advance Package pairs that styling with leather-trimmed seats, a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, and a multiview camera.
