Expected to arrive at dealers this Spring, the 2025 Acura ADX costs a couple grand more than the Integra. It includes turbo power and front- or all-wheel-drive.
Acura recently revealed the price tag for the 2025 Acura ADX. The brand’s smallest crossover SUV. Priced above the Integra hatchback by a couple grand, the base, front-wheel-drive model starts at $36,350 when you include the $1350 destination charge. More specifically, the base ADX will cost exactly $2755 more than the Integra, as Acura dropped base Integra price by $600.
(see chart below for a full price breakdown)
OVERVIEW
Acura will build three trims of ADX initially: base, A-Spec, and A-Spec with Advance package. All three trims will offer front-wheel-drive, or all-wheel-drive for an extra $2000. Standard equipment includes a moonroof, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a 10.2-in digital instrument cluster, and a 9.0-in center display.
That center display wirelessly connects to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. And no wires necessary to charge it either. A 15-watt wireless charge pad comes standard too.
Outside, you ride on 18-inch, aluminum alloy wheels, which sounds plenty large for a sub-compact crossover SUV. And you access cargo via a power lift tailgate.
A-SPEC and A-SPEC ADVANCE
Moving up to A-Spec increases the wheel size to 19s, which is lovely. You also get a bit of gloss black and “gun metallic” colored trim. As well as a set of LED fog lights.
Inside, the moonroof grows to a panoramic piece, the front seats heat and ventilate, and Acura adds some flashier trim pieces. You’ll see metal sport pedals, red gauge needles, red contrast stitching and a chrome shift knob.
The top trim A-Spec with Advance package adds more gloss black outside, and a different set of 19-inch wheels, also in black. In fact, it’s the same black we saw on the 2024 Acura TLX Type S.
Inside the Advance, you get a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a heated steering wheel, more cameras to see around the vehicle, and Google built-in.
POWERTRAIN
All ADX trim use the same turbocharged 1.5-liter, inline-four-cylinder engine. According to Acura, it makes power “similar to the DOHC 1.5T used in Integra.” I presume that means you get the same 200 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft of torque. But, based on what Acura states, I suspect it may very well come in beneath that. Perhaps close the Honda Accord’s 1.5-liter, which delivers 192 HP and 192 lb.-ft of torque.
Acura will only offer a continuously variable transmission for the ADX, which is not a surprise. That’s what the base Integra gets. And, as CVT’s go, the one Honda/Acura builds is among the best. I would still prefer an automatic, however. As mentioned above, you choose between front- or all-wheel-drive.
CONCLUSION
I originally reported that we’d see the ADX reach dealers in “the first couple months of 2025.” Acura officially said, “early 2025.” Now Acura says we should expect to see the ADX reach dealerships this spring. Expect all three trims to arrive around the same time.
Hopefully that means a chance to drive one will arrive soon as well. Based on my recent reviews of various Acura models, as well as the new HR-V, I am cautiously optimistic it drive well.
As soon as I get the chance to get behind the wheel, I will promptly report and let you know how it actually feels.
