You’d think there was no shortage of premium compact SUVs—but we were wrong. Now, with the first-ever Acura ADX arriving at dealerships, the game has changed. The 2025 Acura ADX is an all-new premium compact SUV designed to attract a fresh wave of buyers—not only younger but also young at heart, seeking an engaging driving experience at a compelling value. With its chic styling and dynamic performance, the ADX is poised to be a standout for 2025.
The turbocharged 2025 Acura ADX isn’t just a new gateway model to the Acura lineup—it’s a head-turning compact SUV that stands out in its segment, thanks to its striking exterior design. The ADX combines powerful proportions with a sophisticated frameless Diamond Pentagon grille and an aggressive mesh pattern, embodying Acura’s latest contrast-driven design language. Measuring 185.8 inches in length, it features a low horizontal beltline and sculpted rear fenders that enhance its muscular stance. Wide-set signature Acura “Chicane” LED daytime running lights and the brake lights further emphasize its sporty, broad-shouldered presence.
From the rear, the 2025 Acura ADX boasts a dramatically sculpted hatch and an aggressive fascia, with dual exhaust finishers emphasizing its wide stance. The standard ADX features gray metallic lower body trim, silver skid garnishes at the front and rear, and striking 18-inch machine-finished alloy wheels wrapped in performance all-season tires. Enhancing efficiency, a comprehensive aerodynamics package includes an active grille shutter, a front lip spoiler, and an underfloor cover. The expressive grille is flanked by air curtain inlets that channel airflow around the front wheels, improving aerodynamic performance.
For an elevated audio experience, the ADX offers a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system—a first for Acura—delivering rich, immersive sound throughout the cabin.
Inside, the ADX’s design team has reimagined the dual-cockpit layout with a sporty yet personal touch, incorporating premium materials and meticulous detailing. Three bold interior color options—Ebony, Red/Ebony, and an Acura-first Orchid/Blue—allow for personalization. The open and airy cockpit provides exceptional outward visibility, aided by a low cowl, slim pillars, and an expansive greenhouse.
Standard features include a moonroof, dual-zone climate control, rear air conditioning vents, and heated front Body Stabilizing Seats designed to reduce fatigue and enhance comfort on long drives. With an impressive 37.7 inches of rear-seat legroom, the ADX offers best-in-class space for passengers.
Our test model, the top-of-the-line ADX A-Spec with the Advance Package, comes packed with premium features, including full leather-trimmed upholstery with Ultrasuede® inserts, a heated steering wheel, a surround-view camera, and the new Bang & Olufsen premium sound system.
“The all-new Acura ADX is an exciting new gateway model for the Acura brand, expanding our performance SUV lineup to four exceptional models in the most popular segments,” said Mike Langel, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales. “The ADX will hit the heart of the premium compact SUV segment, which has grown significantly over the past few years.”
With its bold design, engaging performance, and class-leading technology, the 2025 Acura ADX is set to redefine expectations in the compact luxury SUV market.
