2025 Acura ADX Summary Points
- Acura has unveiled its first-ever compact luxury SUV, the 2025 ADX, with a starting MSRP of $36,350.
- “ADX will hit the heart of the compact SUV segment, which has grown significantly over the past few years,” said Mike Langel, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales.
- Acura fitted the ADX with front airbags designed to reduce head rotation in forward or oblique collisions.
2025 Acura ADX Powertrain
Under the hood of the 2025 ADX is a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine with direct injection and a high-response turbocharger. Other key features include low-pressure-loss turbocharger piping, VTEC variable valve timing on the exhaust side of the twin-cam head, and a 4-2 exhaust port cylinder head. The engine produces 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft. of torque and is similar to the 1.5-liter turbo of the current model Acura Integra.
Integrated Dynamics System
Acura’s Integrated Dynamics System comes standard in the ADX and offers four driving modes: Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport. Each mode has specific mappings for the throttle response, transmission, steering, cabin sound, and gauge coloration. The A-Spec with Advance Package adds an “Individual” driving mode with customizable settings.
CVT Transmisison & Available AWD
Power goes to the front wheels using a sport-tuned continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). It has paddle shifters and Acura’s Step-Shift programming, which simulates gear changes when pressing hard on the go-pedal.
All ADX trim variants are available with Acura’s all-wheel drive (AWD) system that could send up to 50 percent of the engine’s torque to the rear wheels for better traction and grip.
The ADX benefits from a weight-optimized aluminum subframe, acoustic spray foam insulation, sound-deadening fender liners, sound-insulating carpets, wheel resonators (19-inch wheels), and Active Noise Control to mitigate road and wind noise.
Interior Room & Cargo Space
The 2025 Acura ADX has dimensions similar to the 2025 Honda HR-V. Both have a 104.5-inch wheelbase, but the ADX is six inches longer despite having a five-seat, two-row interior like the HR-V. This extra length enables the 2025 Acura ADX to offer up to 37.7 inches of rear seat legroom.
Meanwhile, the cargo room is 24.4 cubic feet behind the 60/40 split-folding second-row seats. Folding the second row frees up 55.1 cubic feet of storage space. The ADX’s low liftover height (27 inches) should make loading heavy items a little easier.
Acura’s “Walk Away Close” power tailgate is standard for the 2025 ADX.

The 2025 Acura ADX will go on sale in Standard, A-Spec, and A-Spec with Advance Package trim guises. Below is a breakdown of the standard equipment for each model. Every ADX receives three years of complimentary remote services via the AcuraLink mobile app.

Safety Features

Every ADX has the AcuraWatch package with blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, collision mitigation braking, adaptive cruise control with low speed follow, road departure mitigation, traffic jam assist, traffic sign recognition, and rear cross-traffic monitoring.
Acura fitted the ADX with front airbags designed to reduce head rotation in forward or oblique collisions. Other standard safety technologies include a rear seat reminder system and a driver attention monitor.
