Acura's most affordable SUV. A 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick.
The 2026 Acura ADX: the smart first step from sedan to SUV
A new baby changes everything, starting with how you get them in and out of the car. The ADX gives you an SUV's higher seat and hatch, Acura quality and safety, and a price that starts at $35,000.
Family fit
A first family SUV that makes sense
- Higher seating position for lifting a baby carrier in and out
- 2 full LATCH positions plus a center tether (IIHS)
- 24.4 cu ft of cargo behind the rear seats, 55.1 cu ft folded
- 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick and a 5-star NHTSA overall rating
- AcuraWatch safety and driver-assist technology standard
- Standard moonroof, heated front seats and dual-zone climate; all-wheel drive available
Who it is for
Is this your next family car?
The ADX is for couples and young families stepping out of a sedan or compact car for the first time. It fits one or two children, a stroller and daily errands, and it parks easily in town.
If you already know you want more cargo room or standard all-wheel drive, look at the RDX.
