Acura has ramped up its game with styling recently with a whole host of refreshes to the existing fleet and the recent addition of the ZDX electric SUV. In this week’s garage, its the 2025 Acura ADX, Acura’s newest release in the compact SUV category fulfilling consumer wants abound.

This 5-passenger “Integra-like” gateway SUV does everything right, and the price will blow you away. Its entry level, yet still upscale and hip SUV styling is what sets it apart from the body-similar Honda HR-V. Taking some of the HR-V styling, adding the Acura flare, throwing in some of the Integra-like interior, and boom, the ADX was born.

While ensuring the ADX is its-own SUV, the interior styling is what sets it apart from the Honda fleet, but still offering that same great luxury, style and comfort Acura consumers demand. In 2025, the Acura ADX boasts a 1.5-liter Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque.

With a small array of exterior color options, the ADX is focusing on young and hip consumers who are looking for affordability, luxury, style and comfort while ensuring there is ample interior space for storage, luggage and shopping.

As Acura has done a fantastic job in releasing the ADX to the fleet, consumer have ran to dealerships as the proof is in the numbers. With just 2 months worth of data logged, the ADX has captured 20% of the segment market share confirming early off the ADX is a win for consumers abound.

Acura is a staple in Grasso’s Garage as I have been an owner of just about every model from the 2006-2014 timeframe. Their technology-focused brand delivers for consumers styling and luxury, while not compromising on power or comfort. Paired with innovative styling, Acura adds another “fleet-deserving” example to add to the already great lineup with the ADX.
