Key Points
- The 2026 Acura ADX starts at $36,450 (all prices include $1,450 destination charge), just $100 more than the 2025 model.
- The ADX receives a new exterior color called Double Apex Blue Pearl but otherwise remains unchanged.
Acura’s smallest SUV, the ADX, enters its second model year on the market with minimal changes and, thankfully, almost no price increase: Just like its introductory year, the 2026 ADX starts at a $35,000 MSRP (the destination charge, however, has increased $100). New for 2026 is the availability of an exterior color called Double Apex Blue Pearl, which can be paired with the Orchid (which is Acura’s fancy name for white) interior that features blue inserts. The ADX gives Acura an entry into a crowded field of other entry-level premium and luxury crossovers that includes the Audi Q3, BMW X2 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA.

Powertrain Specs and MPG
Despite being based on Honda’s HR-V, Acura went the smart route and gave the ADX a more powerful engine. All trims of the ADX get powered by a 190-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 179 pounds-feet of torque. It gets paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission with either front or optional AWD. Acura says the 2026 ADX gets the same fuel-economy ratings of 26/31/28 mpg city/highway/combined with FWD and 25/30/27 mpg with AWD as the 2025 model (official EPA ratings for 2026 are, however, not yet available).
