The 2026 Acura ADX arrives with the same price as last year, good news for small luxury SUV buyers. That means the base model starts at $36,450 and gets youmany standard features, including the AcuraWatch suite of driver assistance features. That also gets you a nine-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless charging. A-Spec models add a sportier look to the ADX.
Higher trims of the 2026 Acura ADX include ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, and a hands-free power tailgate. You also gain the added convenience of a surround-view camera, Low Speed Braking Control, and parking sensors. Meanwhile, audiophiles will enjoy the 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system on the A-Spec Advance trim. For 2026, the ADX now offers a new exterior color: Double Apex Blue Pearl. Available on the A-Spec and A-Spec Advance models, it offers a choice of an Ebony or Orchid interior. The latter also features micro suede insets and blue accents, giving it a two-tone theme.
Power comes from Honda’s familiar 1.5-liter turbo-four paired to a CVT. In this application, it makes 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings check in at 26/31/28 mpg city/highway/combined for front-drive models. With AWD, those numbers drop to 25/30/27 mpg. That makes the ADX competitive with most of the class except for the hybrid entries.
One of those is the Lexus UX 300h, which has 196 hp, but significantly higher EPA ratings. With FWD, the UX is EPA-rated at 45/41/43 mpg city/highway/combined. Selecting AWD in the UX also sees a minor MPG rating hit down to 44/40/42 mpg. Regardless, both numbers handily beat the ADX, which doesn’t offer an electrified powertrain option.
The 2026 ADX is on sale now at Acura dealers.
