Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Acura ADX is a compelling option for a wide range of SUV shoppers. This premium compact SUV combines a refined driving experience with high-end comfort and impressive overall value. When exploring the new ADX lineup, many buyers find themselves comparing the well-equipped Base model with the sport-oriented A-Spec® trim. The following breakdown highlights the primary similarities and differences between these two configurations.
Performance
Acura powers every 2026 ADX with a 1.5-liter, VTEC turbo four-cylinder engine. This powertrain delivers 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, providing ample power for daily commutes. To ensure smooth operation and efficiency, the engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission. Both the ADX Base and the ADX A-Spec® include a dynamic sport mode that sharpens throttle response and firms up steering feel for a more connected drive. While front-wheel drive is the standard configuration for both trims, an available all-wheel drive system is offered for those seeking enhanced traction.
Appearance
The ADX Base makes a strong first impression with its modern and athletic design language. Key exterior highlights include the signature Diamond Pentagon grille and sleek Chicane LED daytime running lights. To complement its sculpted body, the Base trim comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels.
The A-Spec® trim elevates the SUV's visual impact with a dedicated sport appearance package. This version sits on larger 19-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels, which provide a more commanding presence on the road. Additionally, the A-Spec® includes LED fog lights for improved visibility and style. The interior continues the sporty theme with a flat-bottom performance steering wheel and stainless steel sport pedals.
Features
The ADX Base is packed with a range of standard technologies that provide exceptional value for modern drivers. The cabin features a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9.0-inch touchscreen equipped with wireless Apple Carplay® and Android Auto® integration. A Qi wireless charging pad is also included for added convenience. For entertainment, the Acura premium audio system utilizes eight speakers to deliver clear, high-quality sound. Standard amenities like heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control further enhance the interior environment.
Stepping up to the A-Spec® trim introduces several premium upgrades, most notably a one-touch panoramic sunroof that opens up the cabin to natural light. The seating is also enhanced, featuring leatherette upholstery with microsuede accents for a more sophisticated look and feel.
