Acura ADX

The ADX, new for 2025, is Acura's entry-level compact SUV — based on the eleventh-generation Honda Civic platform (sharing underpinnings with the HR-V). 1.5L turbocharged inline-four making 190 hp, paired with a CVT and either FWD or AWD. Built at Honda's Celaya, Mexico plant. The ADX slots below the RDX in the lineup and is targeted at younger buyers stepping up from a Civic or Integra. Reception has been muted: reviewers note that the Honda HR-V costs significantly less for the same mechanical package. The A-Spec trim adds aggressive styling, larger wheels, and red interior accents. AcuraWatch driver assistance is standard. Acura intends the ADX to broaden the brand's appeal to first-time luxury buyers, but the Civic-with-trim formula has been tried before with mixed results (the ILX in particular).
