Acura is expanding its lineup. The 2026 Acura ADX, unveiled today, is a new, premium compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) designed to deliver an engaging driving experience and "welcome young buyers" into the folds of the Acura brand, the company said.

For years, Acura has been competing in the compact crossover space with the RDX against rivals like the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. However, both of the Germans offer an even smaller crossover to give buyers a lower cost of entry into the luxury brand and now Acura has followed suit.

I want Honda to drop an L15 turbo engine into its smallest SUV to create a sporty HR-V Si. Suffice it to say, waking up to news about the 2025 Acura ADX, which pretty much makes that happen with a great design to boot,

The 2025 Acura ADX has been revealed and the new small SUV should turn out to be big seller for the premium brand. The model slots into the lineup beneath the compact RDX and is built on a platform shared with the Integra four-door liftback and Honda HR-V.

Starting around $35K when it goes on sale early next year, the ADX will have oodles of standard tech and comfort-focused features.
