Overview

Rear view

The ADX was unveiled on 14 November 2024 and was released in early 2025 for the 2025 model year. ^{[6] [7]}

Its standard powertrain is a variant of the turbocharged 1.5-liter VTEC 4-cylinder engine from the Integra, producing 190 hp (140 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 179 lb⋅ft (243 N⋅m) of torque between 1,700 and 5,000 rpm, with an optional all-wheel drive system which can send more than 50% of torque to the rear wheels. A CVT is standard on all models. ^[8]

The ADX is the first Acura model assembled outside the United States, Japan, and Canada; unlike other American-built Acura models, the ADX is produced in Mexico at the Honda plant in Celaya, Guanajuato, along with the Honda HR-V for the North American market. ^[9]
