2025 Acura ADX debuts: 5 things you need to know

The 2025 Acura ADX has been revealed as a new compact premium SUV for the brand.

What is the 2025 Acura ADX? 

The Acura ADX, a new compact premium SUV, much smaller than the Acura MDX and the Acura RDX, is designed to appeal to younger buyers with a sporty driving experience and versatile, tech-rich features. It will arrive in early 2025, with prices starting in the mid-$30,000s.

According to Acura, it features a “youthful, sporty design with a frameless Diamond Pentagon grille. ” Its long, muscular form (185.8 inches) is highlighted by a low beltline, wide-set “Chicane” LED lights, and aggressive rear styling with dual exhaust finishers. Standard elements include gray metallic trim, silver skid garnishes, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Aerodynamic enhancements, such as an active grille shutter and air curtain inlets, boost efficiency.

The roofline has a clean look with laser-brazing technology, and hidden windshield wipers add refinement.

Six exterior colors are offered, including the exclusive Adriatic Sea Blue Metallic.

Trim options and features

ADX is available in three trims, including the sportier A-Spec and A-Spec with Advance Package, which offer features like LED fog lights, ventilated front seats, panoramic moonroof, and Bang & Olufsen sound system with Google integration.
