Instantly recognizable as an Acura SUV, the ADX showcases athletic styling cues including a wide rear track, signature Acura "Chicane" LED daytime running lights, a low beltline, and muscular rear fenders. A potent turbocharged VTEC engine and available all-wheel drive give the ADX the capability you need to excel in all types of weather conditions.

What the Critics Say
“ Acura's little crossover endeared itself to me by being exceptionally easy to acclimate to, which means it should be very easy for buyers to live with. Despite only spending a total of three hours behind the wheel, I feel like I used every feature without cussing it out or having to resort to scouring the owner's manual. The ADX is roomy, quiet, comfortable, and comes with tons of safety and luxury features, all backed by Acura's respected reliability reputation and an affordable price tag.” — Jalopnik
“ Both front and rear occupants should dig the, ah, digs. Beyond the ADX’s mostly primo appointments, general headroom, shoulder room and legroom is good, with more than enough space for my 5-foot-11-inch frame in either row.” — Cars.com
Acura ADX Features
Sport-Focused Styling & Performance
While the similarities with the rest of its dynamic Acura siblings are quite evident, the bold look of the ADX defies convention and demands attention from every angle. Youthful design elements of the ADX include a frameless Diamond Pentagon grille with aggressive mesh, low horizontal beltline, purposeful rear haunches, and a broad stance accented by sleek alloy wheels. You’ll also notice functional aerodynamics including an active grille shutter, underfloor shield, and front lip spoiler which work collectively to boost fuel efficiency. Under the hood lies its potent 1.5-liter turbocharged VTEC engine that combines exhilaration with efficiency. Paired with a sport-tuned continuously variable transmission (CVT) and available advanced all-wheel drive system, you’re ready for whatever your day has in store for you. All trims also come standard with an innovative Integrated Dynamics System featuring up to five individual driving modes for a truly personalized experience behind the wheel.
Sophisticated Interior
Equal parts ergonomic and luxurious, the upscale interior of the Acura ADX helps you get the most out of every mile of your daily commute. Standard amenities of the interior include a moonroof, dual-zone climate controls, rear air conditioning vents, and heated front Body Stabilizing Seats. Other available features include Ultrasuede® seat trim, heated/ventilated front seats, perforated leather flat-bottom steering wheel, ambient LED lighting, and stainless sport pedals. Visibility is superb thanks to a low cowl, large greenhouse, and thin pillars to keep you aware of your surroundings. The ADX also boasts an impressive 37.7 inches of rear legroom, ranking among the best in its class. Drivers can also take advantage of its cavernous 55.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seatbacks folded. There’s even an available power tailgate with Walk Away Close that’s included as standard on all trim levels for greater convenience.
Innovative Technology
Advanced technology is yet another strong suit of the compact Acura ADX. Standard tech features are highlighted by a standard 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital instrument display and a 9-inch color touchscreen with a physical volume knob, a home screen return button, and easy-to-recognize icons for superior usability. Other features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™ compatibility, Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, and a Qi-compatible 15W wireless smartphone charger. Audiophiles should opt for the available Bang & Olufsen sound system developed exclusively for the Acura ADX. This impressive system features proprietary Acoustic Lens Technology, an 8.8-inch subwoofer, 16-channel amplifier, and 15 speakers. Last but certainly not least, the ADX comes standard with the AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, proprietary ACE™ body structure, and next-generation front driver and passenger airbags.
