The 2025 Acura ADX Is a Sharp New Compact SUV With Honda HR-V Roots | Acura ADX First Look

I don’t know what’s going on at Honda/Acura. This is an obvious rebadged HR-V. They really should be ashamed of themselves.

What exactly makes Acura a luxury brand? Leather seats? Acura don't even know what they are doing! Rebadged Hondas with weak engines and a sunroof. SMH

Honestly the overall design is very nice, but with all the issues with the 1.5T it’s a definite pass. Nobody wants to deal with head gasket issues due to poor design and thin head studs. Especially when people are reporting the issues at 50kish miles on a much smaller vehicle.

Bla. Anothering boring SUV.

Does the white one come with foglights? I wish it had more HP😮😢

it's too damn big for whats supposed to be a subcompact...and the engine's lame! Why must everyone's cars grow and grow and grow!!! Not all luxury car shoppers want BIG!

Ecvt yes regular cvt no had me so excited at first

This seems like a good idea and package at first glance until you find out that it has a CVT. I understand that the CVT might have been the cost effective option since it already existed from Hondas parts bin. But something like the ADX where the intended appeal is supposed to be more luxurious and sporty the CVT is going to hold this back to be something truly special and enjoyable to drive.

At the very least a manual transmission option from the parts bin should also be offered at the very least on the Spec-A model to really make it perform to it's fullest potential.

Options to get this in a hybrid or with SH-AWD would have made this a monster. I hope they have one or both options soon.

Why is everyone putting in 1.5 litre turbocharge engine not going to last long for sure no matter how good they look

It,s really to bad ,boring ! Ugly ! uninspired ! Lazy work ! Not up to the copation ,Do not try to take it to market !! Look at what the speck ulators hoped for ?

I like it. But that price point I can probably get something with a little more luxury.

I was looking to replace my HRV next year but this looks very much the same ☹️. I’ll definitely test drive it but so far leaning towards Lexus nx or crv hybrid

CX5 = same price range, hybrid, more power & better handling 🤷🏻‍♂️

Doesn't the rest of the world get the hrv with a turbo option? Just another automaker finding a way to upsell the American market, give the CEO another 20 million

Needs the hybrid system or get rid of the cvt

It literally is just a slightly nicer hrv with a slightly better engine. What a joke. The HRV is sad as it is but this at least looks the part but I seriously hate CVTs

Just call it a crossover!!!

Another SUV just exactly what the market is missing 🤦‍♂️

To this day Honda or Acura still has not install wide tires and the skinny wheels looks so fragile and does not match the body style except the TLX Type S, Integra Type S or CTR. Please get them wide Acura. Oh and again no aluminum dead pedal. Pffft.

I kinda want it. I have a 2020 CR-V now but I don't need all the space so I've been thinking about downsizing. The HR-V is very lackluster. I've been thinking about switch back to Kia, but that Acura logo is calling me 😊

thank you , the first person to say that the powertrain is a horrible choice

What is all these bots with needs a hybrid…. No it does not. It gets really good gas mileage without the hybrid system

Very unimpressed

Acura interiors are soooo boring

Why would one buy an expensive Honda HRV. It’s same car with acura badge. Plus no hybrid option. I am a Honda owner but prefer to move over to buy a Lexus hybrid models.

Option the 2.0 hybrid in the CRV et al and you have a segment killer

Acura make hybrids. No one wants your regular gas hungry engines. Step up or step out.

This suv crossover bullshit needs to stop

it is a honda adx

Any manufacturer should say "why would people prefer our product over our competitors"? In this case the answer is- no reason.

Engine got smaller and smaller ... and price got higher and higher! HRV? looks horrible !

Why do you all want hybrid that’s causes so many issues down the path I’m digging it imma buy it

A turbocharged 1.5L 4 cylinder engine doesn’t sound too assuring in terms of longevity. And the lack of a hybrid option is not helping the ADX stand out from the HRV either.

Agree with you. This car needs to have an hybrid option!! It would be a real (and better) option to the Lexus UX , and I would dare to say that some NX buyers would also consider this option, but with only a gas engine, I don’t know….😟🤔

Hopefully Acura does bring out a hybrid version of this in order to sell like crazy. I'll trade in my slow HRV for it in a heart beat.

I plan to get the HR-V Sport, but was somewhat excited to hear about the ADX, unless I heard about the power train. Like in the HR-V, the Civic's hybrid power train would have been perfect. If so, I would want the Apex Blue Pearl A-Spec Advanced as seen in this video. Oh, well. I would rather have the more reliable ICE or N/A 2.0L engine.

I would prefer a j35 v6 😊

Dash is pure Honda, no reason to pay more just to get that mazda looking front 😂

Why does every new acura have to look like fucking darth vader?

1.5L Should be at least 2.0-2.5 with 250+ HP. Looks nice overall!

Who the hell loves hybrids

Any A spec Acura is a total waste of money.

Thank God. No one wants EVs and hybrids.

I actually really like this build. I’m really feeling this in a all black feel.

I leased a base 2024 rdx last year and I’m glad I did. Even tho its base and has less features, it looks way better than this and I love the drive. The inside of the ADX looks like any other Honda.

WANT!

It looks more like Honda than Acura

Is the ADX worth getting over something like the BMW X1 or Mercedes GLB? Let us know in the comments.
