2025 Acura ADX: What To Expect
Exterior Styling For The Young & Young At Heart
The youthful exterior styling of the 2025 Acura ADX seamlessly combines powerful proportions with a sophisticated "frameless" Diamond Pentagon grille and an aggressive grille mesh, embodying the latest captivating contrast in Acura’s design language.
Measuring 4718mm in overall length, it boasts a low horizontal beltline and purposeful rear fenders that enhance the stature of its long, muscular forms. The wide-set signature Acura "Chicane" LED daytime running lights and brake lights accentuate its sporty, broad-shouldered stance.
At the rear, a sculpted hatch and an assertive fascia with dual exhaust finishers highlight the ADX’s wide track. The standard ADX features gray metallic lower body trim, silver skid garnishes at the front and rear, and dynamically styled 18-inch, machine-finished alloy wheels encased in all-season tires.
A comprehensive aerodynamics package, including an active grille shutter, front lip spoiler, and underfloor cover, allows the new ADX to achieve outstanding fuel efficiency. The striking grille is complemented by air curtain inlets that channel air through the bumper and around the front wheels, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
The 2025 ADX will be available in six vibrant exterior colours, featuring an all-new hue for Acura, exclusive to the ADX: Adriatic Sea Blue Metallic.
A Comfortable Cabin With Sporty Trimmings
The interior design team has elevated the ADX cabin experience by reimagining the sporty and personal dual-cockpit design, incorporating premium materials and precise details first seen in the Acura Integra. Available in two striking interior colors—Ebony and Red/Ebony—the open and airy ADX cockpit offers outstanding outward visibility, thanks to a low cowl, slender pillars, and an expansive greenhouse.
The exceptionally well-equipped ADX comes standard with a panoramic moonroof, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate controls, rear air conditioning vents, and heated front Body Stabilizing Seats that minimize fatigue and enhance comfort on long journeys. Its generous 958mm of rear seat legroom ensures spacious comfort
ADX A-SPEC enhances the cabin with a premium performance touch, featuring Ultrasuede® seat trim, ventilated seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel wrapped in perforated leather, ambient LED lighting, stainless sport pedals, red gauge needles, red contrast stitching, and a sporty chrome shift knob.
The top-tier ADX Platinum Elite A-SPEC is loaded with exceptional features, including front and rear parking sensors, a surround-view camera, and a powerful new Bang & Olufsen premium sound system (see below).
ADX boasts impressive cargo capacity, offering up to 690 litres behind the rear seats, with standard split rear seatbacks that easily accommodate larger items, such as two mountain bikes.
With the 60/40-split rear seatbacks folded flat, cargo space expands to an impressive 1,560 litres. A low lift-over height of 695mm simplifies the loading of large or heavy items. A power tailgate with Walk Away Close comes standard.
Advanced Technology
Intuitive, user-friendly technology has been seamlessly integrated into the new ADX cabin, prioritizing the driver. This includes a standard 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital instrument display and a 9-inch color touchscreen equipped with a physical volume knob, a dedicated button for returning to the Home screen, and large, easily recognizable icons.
A finger rest at the bottom of the touchscreen enhances usability by providing a stable surface for your hand. Standard technology features include wireless Apple CarPlay®1 and Android Auto™2 compatibility, Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, and a Qi-compatible 15W wireless smartphone charger.
Additionally, charging is facilitated by a pair of conveniently located front USB-C ports. The ADX A-SPEC and ADX Platinum Elite A-SPEC models further enhance convenience with two additional USB-C ports at the back of the center console for rear-seat passengers

Nearby, for instance, Google Assistant allows users to set their destination in Google Maps simply by using their voice. Drivers can manage their media by asking Google to skip to the next track or rewind a podcast through their preferred media apps.
Google Play lets users download a variety of third-party apps for music, podcasts, and audiobooks, just as they would on their smartphone. For added convenience, every 2025 ADX includes one year of complimentary AcuraLink.
Advanced Driver Assistance And Safety Features
Superior driving dynamics are achieved in the ADX through the use of a lightweight aluminum front subframe, featuring an efficient truss and rib structure that ensures rigidity and stability.
Acura dynamics engineers have fine-tuned the dual-pinion assist electronic power steering (EPS) and the fully independent sport-tuned suspension of the ADX to offer a premium driving experience, characterized by enjoyable dynamics and class-leading refinement.
ADX offers refined power and robust low-end torque from its turbocharged 1.5-litre VTEC engine. Much like the DOHC 1.5T found in the Integra, this direct-injected turbocharged 4-cylinder engine features a high-efficiency, high-response turbocharger, low pressure-loss turbocharger piping, and a 4-2 exhaust port cylinder head.
These elements work together to sustain peak power across a wide range of RPMs, ensuring exceptional responsiveness. VTEC variable valve timing is applied on the exhaust side of the twin-cam head, enhancing exhaust efficiency and optimizing valve overlap. These efforts contribute to better fuel efficiency and reduce the engine speed required for peak torque
A sport-tuned continuously variable transmission (CVT) enhances the sporty driving experience of the ADX with paddle shifters, early downshifts during braking, and Step Shift programming that mimics gear changes during intense acceleration.
The advanced all-wheel drive system is capable of directing up to 50% of engine torque to the rear wheels, enhancing both handling performance and traction management in slippery conditions. A standard Integrated Dynamics System allows the ADX driver to select from four distinct driving modes—Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport—that adjust throttle response, transmission mapping, steering feel, in-cabin sound, and gauge coloration.
The Platinum Elite A-SPEC adds an "Individual" mode, enabling the driver to personalize the Integrated Dynamics System settings to their preference. Additional acoustical spray foam insulation, sound-absorbing fender liners, wheel resonators (for 19-inch wheels), sound-insulating carpet, Active Noise Control, and other sound-absorbing technologies work together to minimize wind, road, and powertrain noise inside the cabin, providing a more refined driving experience.
Luxurious Audio From Bang & Olufsen
Acura has long been celebrated for delivering exceptional audio, and the 2025 ADX is the newest model to provide an immersive experience crafted in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen, a legendary brand among audiophiles known for designing cutting-edge audio systems for both home and automotive use.
At the pinnacle of the ADX lineup, the 2025 ADX Platinum Elite A-SPEC boasts a groundbreaking, world-class Bang & Olufsen sound system, crafted exclusively for the Acura ADX. This system is designed to elevate the in-vehicle audio experience with unparalleled performance, delivering a powerful and sophisticated concert hall sound.
The custom audio system features Bang & Olufsen’s exclusive Acoustic Lens Technology, an 8.8" subwoofer, a 16-channel amplifier, and 15 speakers. Aluminum speaker grilles, laser-etched with the Bang & Olufsen logo, further enhance the premium interior design of ADX.
The unique Bang & Olufsen intuitive Beosonic™ one-touch sound control interface allows Acura ADX clients to craft a personalized in-car audio experience with four distinct audio moods: Bright, Energetic, Warm, and Relaxed.
Bang & Olufsen's Acoustic Lens Tweeters evenly distribute high-frequency content both horizontally and vertically, delivering an immersive sound experience with clarity and rich overtones.
