Engaging Performance and Driving Dynamics
The Acura ADX is engineered to deliver a fun and engaging driving experience, characterized by responsive handling, a refined ride, and turbocharged power. It features a fully independent sport-tuned suspension and leverages an advanced global architecture shared with the Acura Integra, ensuring a dynamic and confident feel on the road. The available advanced all-wheel drive system further enhances handling and provides superior traction in various driving conditions.
Powering the Acura ADX is a refined and efficient turbocharged 1.5-liter VTEC engine, similar to the acclaimed DOHC 1.5T engine found in the Acura Integra. This engine provides ample power and impressive low-end torque, contributing to the ADX’s spirited performance.
The sport-tuned continuously variable transmission (CVT) further elevates the driving experience. Equipped with metal paddle shifters, the CVT offers drivers more control and engagement. Its programming includes early downshift functionality during braking and Step Shift programming, which simulates traditional gear changes during hard acceleration, providing a more tactile and sporty feel.
Acura: Precision Crafted Performance
The Acura ADX embodies Acura’s commitment to “Precision Crafted Performance,” delivering expressive styling, innovative engineering, and engaging driving dynamics. As a leading automotive brand, Acura’s lineup includes sport sedans like the Integra and TLX, and a range of sport-utility vehicles including the ADX, RDX, MDX, and the all-electric ZDX. The upcoming all-electric performance SUV, Acura RSX, further demonstrates Acura’s dedication to innovation and performance. Acura’s Type S variants highlight the brand’s performance capabilities, and all Acura vehicles sold in 2024 are proudly built in America.
The 2025 Acura ADX is poised to make a significant impact in the premium compact SUV market, offering a compelling blend of luxury, technology, performance, and value, perfectly tailored for a new generation of Acura enthusiasts.
