For the second consecutive year, Acura is adding an all-new SUV to its lineup.Last year, it was the ZDX EV, and now the range of Acura utilities will grow to four with the addition of the compact ADX.

Acura's all-new ADX is its attempt to win over new drivers, priced competitively, but refined enough to hopefully make brand loyalists. Does it succeed?

The car business is a lot like Hollywood in that in a sea of obligatory sequels and ill-advised remakes, it’s not every day that we get a truly new IP. The 2025 Acura ADX may be a whole new name, but do not be fooled: we’ve seen quite a bit of this movie before.
