The Acura ADX entered production as a 2026 model year vehicle, serving as the entry-level crossover in Acura's lineup and riding on a platform shared with the Honda HR-V. It is offered in standard and Type S configurations, with the Type S distinguished by a turbocharged engine and sport-tuned suspension, following Acura's established pattern of applying the Type S designation to performance-focused variants across its range. As the brand's most accessible point of entry, the ADX fills a segment Acura had not previously addressed with a dedicated subcompact crossover, positioning it against rivals such as the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.
