2025 Acura ADX Confirmed For Forced Entry, But What Could It Be?

Before answering that question, let’s take a look at the press release attached below. First of all, Acura says that the ADX sits alongside the Integra. An entry-level crossover, perhaps? Another line makes it clear that it’s the brand’s gateway to younger shoppers, but not your typical teenagers. Acura defines its target demographic as young premium buyers.

Premium obviously refers to Acura making better cars than Honda, but it mostly refers to a higher price compared to the same Honda model. This, however, is the big secret about ADX. Unfortunately, we don’t know if the guest is based on the HR-V or the CR-V.

While it can be difficult to price a premium-oriented compact, remember that Lexus offers two smaller crossovers in the form of the UX and even smaller LBX. There’s a case for a CR-V twin as well, with the current gen measuring 106.3 inches (2,701 mm) in wheelbase compared to 108.3 inches (2,751 mm) for the RDX.

Acura further confirmed turbocharging for the very first ADX, which is an interesting detail in and of itself. The RDX comes with a 2.0-liter K-series engine, while the CR-V features a 1.5-liter turbo. The Honda CR-V could be a hybrid as well, sporting a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.
