The ADX launched in 2025 and the 2026 model is a carryover in terms of powertrain and trim structure. Pricing for the range generally sits in the mid‑$30,000s for the base ADX and can top out in the mid‑$40,000s for a loaded A‑Spec Advance with AWD and options. EPA/efficiency guidance reported in early reviews put FWD ADXs in the high‑20s mpg combined range and AWD models a tick lower; Acura’s trim set for 2026 remains Base, A‑Spec, and A‑Spec Advance with optional AWD (+$2,000) across the lineup.
