Expanding Acura’s Legacy
As Acura continues to redefine its lineup with performance-driven models, the ADX emerges as a pivotal entry, expanding the brand’s SUV offerings to four models. This new gateway SUV joins the ranks of the acclaimed Integra, showcasing Acura’s ability to blend sophistication with spirited performance.
Exterior Design: Youthful Elegance Meets Dynamic Presence
The ADX makes an unforgettable first impression with its youthful yet sophisticated exterior styling. Acura’s signature Diamond Pentagon grille takes center stage, now presented in a frameless design that epitomizes modern elegance. The grille is complemented by aggressive mesh detailing, wide-set “Chicane” LED daytime running lights, and Chicane brake lights, emphasizing the SUV’s broad-shouldered stance.
At 185.8 inches long, the ADX’s proportions deliver a perfect balance of agility and stability. Its low horizontal beltline and sculpted rear fenders exude confidence, while purposeful elements such as the dual exhaust finishers and silver skid garnishes add rugged appeal.
Acura has prioritized aerodynamics with features like an active grille shutter, a front lip spoiler, and an underfloor cover, all of which enhance efficiency. Even subtle details, such as laser-brazing technology to eliminate roof moldings and hidden windshield wipers, highlight the ADX’s meticulous craftsmanship.
For buyers seeking to stand out, the ADX will be available in six exterior colors, including the striking Adriatic Sea Blue Metallic, a color exclusive to this model.
Interior Excellence: Sporty, Spacious, and Feature-Rich
The ADX’s dual-cockpit interior design showcases a seamless blend of sportiness and refinement. Premium materials, precise details, and a focus on functionality create a cabin that feels both luxurious and approachable. Buyers can choose from bold interior color themes, including Ebony, Red/Ebony, and Acura’s first-ever Orchid/Blue combination.
The open, airy cabin design is complemented by exceptional outward visibility, achieved through thin pillars, a low cowl, and a large greenhouse. Comfort is a priority, with 37.7 inches of rear legroom—among the best in its class—and heated front Body Stabilizing Seats, designed to reduce fatigue on long drives.
Cargo versatility is another hallmark of the ADX, with up to 24.4 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats. Folding the 60/40-split rear seatbacks expands cargo capacity to a generous 55.1 cubic feet, making it easy to transport items like mountain bikes or luggage for a weekend getaway. A low lift-over height of just over 27 inches ensures effortless loading, and a power tailgate with Walk Away Close comes standard for added convenience.
