Acura is expanding its SUV with an exciting new model: the 2025 Acura ADX. As the brand’s first entry into the compact luxury SUV segment, the ADX is designed to offer a stylish, fun-to-drive experience while maintaining Acura’s reputation for reliability and performance. If you’re considering a premium crossover, here’s everything you need to know before you test drive at Mile High Acura.
What Kind of Car Is the Acura ADX?
The 2025 Acura ADX is a compact luxury SUV positioned just below the Acura RDX. It’s designed to compete with models like the BMW X1, Audi Q3, and Lexus UX, offering a balance of sporty performance, swanky features, and driver/passenger convenience. With sleek styling, sharp handling, and advanced technology, the ADX is expected to appeal to drivers looking for a powerful, roomy vehicle that also ticks all the boxes of a luxury sedan.
2025 Acura ADX Engine Specs & Performance
While official details are still emerging, the Acura ADX is expected to share powertrain options with the Honda CR-V and Acura RDX, likely featuring:
- Turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine
- Continuously variable automatic transmission
- Expected 200 horsepower
- Standard FWD, but AWD is optional on all trims
How Many MPG Does the Acura ADX Get?
Fuel efficiency estimates haven’t been released yet, but considering its expected powertrain, the 2025 Acura ADX will likely deliver around 28-30 MPG combined–more than decent for an SUV. This would align the ADX with competitors while maintaining Acura’s performance-focused edge.
How Big Is the Acura ADX?
Acura has specified the following dimensions for the ADX:
- Wheelbase: 104.5 inches
- Length: 185.8 inches
- Width: 72.5 inches
- Height: 63.8 inches
- Cargo space: 24.4 cubic feet
These measurements position the ADX slightly longer than competitors like the BMW X1 and Audi Q3, and similar in size to the Lexus NX. Despite its compact exterior, the ADX offers a spacious interior, providing 37.7 inches of rear legroom. Cargo capacity is 24.4 cubic feet behind the second row, expanding to 55.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.
What’s Inside the Acura ADX?
Acura’s interiors are known for blending luxury with technology, so expect plenty of high end features and gadgets. We know for sure the ADX will include the following:
- AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies
- 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital instrument display
- 9-inch touchscreen
- Automatic climate control
- Power liftgate
- Leather seats
- Ambient lighting
- 12.3” infotainment system
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®
- Wireless Android Auto™
Can the 2025 Acura ADX Go Off-Road?
While the ADX isn’t a hardcore off-roader, the AWD upgrade will give it the confidence to handle light trails, gravel roads, and snowy conditions. For those who need a little extra capability, a higher riding trim with added ground clearance could be an option, but it won’t compete with rugged SUVs like the Honda Passport TrailSport or the Acura RDX.
Acura ADX Trim Levels
The Acura ADX will be available three trim levels:
- Base ADX: Starting at $35,000, this entry-level trim comes equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine delivering approximately 200 horsepower. Standard features include a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a moonroof, and the AcuraWatch suite of safety technologies. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available for an additional $2,000.
- ADX A-Spec: Priced from $38,000 the A-Spec trim enhances the vehicle’s sporty aesthetics and comfort. It adds 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic moonroof, LED fog lights, sport seats with synthetic suede upholstery and red contrast stitching, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable passenger seat, ambient LED cabin lighting, and a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel. As with the base model, all-wheel drive is optional for $2,000.
- ADX A-Spec with Advance Package: Starting at $42,000 this top-tier trim includes all features from the A-Spec and adds premium amenities such as gloss black 19-inch wheels, front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking, a 360-degree camera system, a hands-free power liftgate, remote start, rain-sensing windshield wipers, leather seats with synthetic-suede inserts, a heated steering wheel, integrated Google Built-In services with a complimentary three-year data plan, and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. All-wheel drive remains a $2,000 option.
Where Is the Acura ADX Made?
Unlike other Acura SUVs made in the US, the 2025 Acura ADX will be manufactured in Mexico. Honda is working on moving production to some of its US factories to help mitigate upcoming tariff costs, but it’s making sure quality remains top-tier despite the potential move.
When Will the 2025 Acura ADX Be Available?
The Acura ADX is expected to hit dealerships in early 2025 (hopefully within the next couple of months!). Keep an eye out for official announcements, as demand for this new model is expected to be high.
