Home / Acura ADX Release
After a successful debut last year, the 2026 Acura ADX carries on as a premium compact SUV that delivers the driving engagement and practicality that many drivers expect from this automaker. The ADX features a punchy turbocharged engine and an athletic suspension, with different drive modes that cater to every outing.
But that's not all. Sit inside the Acura ADX, and you'll enjoy the premium amenities that complement its well-crafted interior, with every stitch in the right place and soft-touch surfaces throughout the cabin creating a premium, upscale atmosphere. If you're looking to learn more about this luxury SUV, read on for more details and contact us with any questions about the Acura ADX.
The 2026 Acura ADX delivers enticing turbocharged performance from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder VTEC engine that's paired with a smooth continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The engine produces 190 horsepower and 179 pound-feet of torque, enough to get the car moving quickly through dense city traffic and up to highway speeds in no time.
In addition to its powertrain, the Acura ADX exudes the timeless exterior styling and striking beauty the brand is known for. Large wheels fit the fender gaps well, and the SUV's striking stance gives it a sporty presence whether it's parked or on the go. Inside, the ADX has a spacious two-row design with standard and available features that stand out, including a premium audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, and wireless smartphone connectivity.

Finally, the Acura ADX A-Spec with Advance Package includes the following upgrades:
The Acura ADX offers three trim levels, each with its own unique set of features.
The 2026 Acura ADX stands out as a premium SUV not for any one feature, but for its combination of premium materials, refined performance, and tech-forward cabin design. Even its base trim level is well-equipped with the amenities that you would normally find in higher trim levels on larger SUVs, giving ADX buyers a luxury experience at an affordable price point.
However, you get a lot more for your money with the ADX, despite its smaller dimensions. At 185.8 inches long and 72.5 inches wide, the ADX is a little over two inches shorter and narrower than its bigger sibling, the RDX. However, it still boasts ample interior space, with 37.7 inches of rear-seat legroom and 38 inches of rear headroom, which makes it accommodating for tall passengers.
Cargo space isn't sacrificed, either: There is 24.4 cubic feet of space with the rear seat back folded up, which grows to 55.1 cubic feet with it down. That's enough room for luggage for a weekend getaway or even a bike.
Out of all available Acura models in our inventory, the ADX sets itself apart with its premium feature set that doesn't include a premium price and surprisingly spacious cabin.
The Acura ADX boasts ample cargo and interior space, despite its compact dimensions.
The 2026 Acura ADX is not a hybrid SUV. Instead, the Acura ADX relies on turbocharged power from a stout four-cylinder engine that utilizes VTEC technology for optimal performance and efficiency.
In front-drive form, the ADX earns an EPA-estimated 27/32/29 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),1 meaning you can go farther between fill-ups. If you need more traction, the ADX returns an EPA-estimated 26/30/28 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 in all-wheel-drive form, providing a good balance of fuel efficiency and capability.
Although it is not a hybrid, the ADX still achieves impressive fuel ratings for a premium SUV.

I'm excited to now own my third Acura in 20 years, and all sold to me by German Perales. The quality of the cars, along with the sales and service team at Schaumburg Acura, cannot be beat. I've looked elsewhere but have always come back to purchase an Acura (this time an ADX). Thank you, German and team!
