Acura’s Small Crossover Will Be Called the ADX

Acura will call its next small crossover the ADX. It will join the RDX, MDX, and ZDX as the fourth SUV in the company’s lineup when it debuts in early 2025.

The ADX will sit below the RDX in size, competing against the likes of the Volkswagen Taos and Buick Envista. Although Acura isn’t detailing the specs, we suspect the ADX could ride on the same-sized Honda HR-V platform. The company says it will sit alongside the Integra in its lineup and use a turbocharged powertrain—a big step up from the HR-V’s lackluster 158-horsepower normally expected inline-4.

“The 2025 Acura ADX will add a fourth SUV to our lineup and a new entry-level model ready to build on the incredible success of the Integra, helping to make Acura the ultimate brand for a new generation of buyers,” Acura’s vice president of National Marketing Emile Korkor said. in the statement. “With the first-ever ADX and all-electric ZDX, Acura’s lineup will have SUVs covered from A to Z.”

The ADX isn’t the only new crossover Acura has planned. At a closed-door dealer conference last week, the company hinted that it will be bringing an electric version of its three-door MDX to the lineup in the coming days, reports report. Automotive News. There’s no word on when, though we suspect Acura wants to give its newly launched electric ZDX a chance to breathe on the showroom floor before launching another battery-powered car. So it will probably be a while.

Honda and Acura plan to sell together 800,000 EVs in North America by 2030, so launching more battery-powered vehicles makes sense. Whether buyers will want EVs remains to be seen. Only time will tell how the company’s ambitious plans pan out.
