Acura has introduced its highly anticipated 2025 ADX, an all-new premium small SUV designed to attract new buyers. With a youthful exterior, engaging driving dynamics, and a feature-rich interior, the ADX promises to elevate the driving experience while offering top-class cabin space, turbocharged performance, and cutting-edge technology.
The 2025 Acura ADX marks an exciting new chapter for the entry-luxury brand, expanding its SUV lineup to include a versatile gateway model. With a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, advanced tech, and a highly customizable interior, the ADX will compete in the rapidly growing premium subcompact SUV segment.
The 2025 Acura ADX features a youthful, dynamic look with a powerful stance. According to Acura, the diamond pentagon mesh grille and sculpted hood add to its sophisticated yet aggressive aesthetic. Wide-set LED daytime running lights, low-to-the-ground design, and muscular rear fenders highlight its sporty silhouette.
The aerodynamic package includes an active grille shutter, front lip spoiler, and underfloor cover that enhances fuel efficiency. The vehicle has 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels standard; buyers can upgrade to 19-inch wheels on higher trims.
Inside, the 2025 Acura ADX seamlessly blends luxury and functionality. Premium materials, thoughtful engineering, and an open and spacious cabin promise comfortable commutes for all passengers.
The new ADX comes standard with a moonroof, dual-zone climate control, and heated front body-stabilizing seats, which Acura says reduce fatigue on long drives. The cargo area easily fits an active lifestyle, offering 24.4 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 55.1 cubic feet with the seats folded flat. The SUV also has a power liftgate with “Walk Away Close,” making loading and unloading larger items easy.
For added luxury, the A-Spec and A-Spec with Advance Package trims come with Ultrasuede seat trim, a flat-bottom sport steering wheel, and ambient LED lighting. The top-tier trims feature full-leather upholstery with Ultrasuede inserts, a heated steering wheel, and a surround-view camera system.
The 2025 Acura ADX draws power from a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a sport-tuned continuously variable automatic transmission featuring paddle shifters for a more connected driving experience.
The Integrated Dynamics System offers four driving modes—Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport—that adjust the throttle response, steering feel, and cabin noise for different driving environments. The A-Spec with Advance package adds an Individual mode, allowing for customizable settings to match the driver’s preferences. All-wheel drive is optional.
The ADX also boasts a lightweight, rigid frame, which Acura says improves stability for better handling dynamics. According to Acura, the sport-tuned fully independent suspension ensures a smooth yet responsive ride, while the dual-pinion assist electronic power steering offers precise control.
The 2025 Acura ADX has the AcuraWatch suite of advanced driver assistance systems, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic warning. These features come standard across all trims.
The A-Spec with Advance Package adds a surround-view camera system, and front and rear parking sensors. A driver monitoring system that warns the driver if it detects signs of distraction is standard across the line. Additionally, the ADX has a maximum five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The 10.2-inch digital instrument display provides a customizable and futuristic look at the vehicle’s key metrics. The 9-inch touchscreen features easy-to-navigate controls, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure seamless smartphone integration.
Higher trims come with a powerful new Bang & Olufsen premium sound system, which includes an 8.8-inch subwoofer, 16-channel amplifier, and 15 speakers. The sound system also allows for enhanced customization with four distinct audio moods: Bright, Energetic, Warm, and Relaxed.
Other tech highlights include wireless charging, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Google Built-in, and Amazon Alexa integration on higher trims.
The 2025 Acura ADX enters the competitive small premium SUV market, facing rivals like the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Cadillac XT4, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the Volvo XC40. The ADX features an exciting exterior design, a premium cabin, and reasonable pricing, offering a compelling choice for buyers seeking luxury, performance, and practicality in one package.
