Acura ADX: compact luxury crossover, engines and what to know
The Acura ADX is a compact luxury crossover introduced in November 2024 and available from the 2025 model year. It's built on the same platform as the Integra, Civic, and CR-V. We'll look at the tech, trims, and what buyers need to know, as Acura isn't sold in Europe.
ADX in brief
The ADX is Acura's smallest crossover, built on Honda's advanced global architecture, shared with the Acura Integra, 11th-gen Civic, 6th-gen CR-V, and Honda ZR-V and HR-V. It was unveiled on November 14, 2024, with sales starting early 2025.
This is the first Acura assembled outside the US, Japan, or Canada: it's produced in Mexico, at Honda's Celaya plant, alongside the Honda HR-V for the North American market.
Model variants
The ADX is only available in its first generation, so differences between cars come down to trims and drivetrain. Most cars you'll find in Lithuania will be imported from the US or Canada.
The sporty A-Spec trim features dark accents and a unique exterior design, while all-wheel drive is an optional extra.
Engines and transmissions
The ADX comes standard with a 1.5-litre turbocharged VTEC petrol engine from the Integra (around 190 hp at 6000 rpm and 243 Nm of torque from 1700 to 5000 rpm).
The transmission is a continuously variable (CVT), standard across all versions. The optional all-wheel drive can send more than half the torque to the rear wheels.
What to check when buying a used ADX
Since this is a very new car, it's important to check its history: whether there have been any accidents, or if there are any outstanding recall campaigns. Often, these cars are imported from US auctions — check the photos and damage descriptions.
Inquire about warranty coverage and whether parts will be available in Lithuania, as Acura has no official representation in Europe. Test the driver assistance systems, cameras, and multimedia.
