2025 Acura ADX

Acura is basing its new entry-level luxury SUV on the same global platform as the Honda HR-V and other models. But unlike the subcompact HR-V's noisy and lackluster 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the ADX uses a more-powerful 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine also found in the Integra sedan. The ADX is offered in three trim levels, and all available with front- or all-wheel drive. In addition to the more luxurious interior, sport-tuned suspension, and stylish exterior, the ADX features a number of additional tweaks to keep the cabin quiet, addressing a problem we found with the HR-V. A full suite of standard active safety and driver assistance features rounds out that package.

About Acura

Most Acuras are more luxurious and higher-priced versions of vehicles made by Honda, its parent company, similar to Lexus and Toyota or Infiniti and Nissan. In Acura’s case, the formula usually works well. Its sedans and SUVs have earned Consumer Reports’ recommendations for cabin comfort, handling, above-average reliability, and engines with smooth power delivery. Like Honda, Acura’s lineup is mainly SUVs, but includes some sedans. The Integra is an upgraded version of the Honda Civic, and competes with the most affordable vehicles from manufacturers like Audi and BMW. The TLX is similar, but slightly larger and more expensive. Acura’s SUVs range from midsized and three-row down to compact and two-row. Across the lineup, fuel economy is usually average. Despite Honda’s success with the technology, Acura sells no hybrids. For both new and used, reliability can vary between models, but the better options often near the top of our rankings.
