The 2026 Acura ADX is the premium compact SUV that aligns beautifully with what Dublin, OH drivers tell us they want: agile performance, upscale tech that is easy to use, and a cabin that flexes for active weeks and relaxed weekends. From our local research and day-to-day conversations at Acura Columbus, shoppers browsing online want clarity—what powertrain does it offer, which safety features come standard, and how does the technology integrate with everyday life around I-270 and Bridge Park. The ADX checks those boxes with a 1.5L VTEC Turbo engine rated at 190 horsepower, available All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System for confident traction, and a thoughtful feature set that includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on every package. Add in available premium touches like a panoramic moonroof and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen® sound system, and you get an SUV that feels both polished and practical. Below, we break down performance, interior comfort, safety, and trim differences to help you buy with confidence—and make the most of your time at our Dublin showroom or online.
Under the hood, the 2026 Acura ADX brings refined turbocharged power and a carefully tuned chassis that strikes a rare balance of responsiveness and comfort. The 1.5L VTEC Turbo delivers energetic acceleration across a wide band thanks to a smooth torque curve and a transmission calibrated for everyday drivability. Available All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System can direct up to half of the power to the rear wheels to help you feel more planted through corners and more composed when pavement turns slick. Dual-pinion assist electronic power steering enhances precision, while fully independent suspension and a lightweight aluminum front subframe contribute to stability and ride quality. Toggle the Integrated Dynamics System to tailor throttle response, steering feel, and engine sound—Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport are standard, with an available Individual mode on select models to personalize your setup.
Inside the ADX, design details feel intentional and driver-focused. A flat-bottom steering wheel and sport pedals on A-Spec® add a performance vibe, while intuitive controls and a clean interface make the 9-inch touchscreen easy to use at a glance. The cabin is quiet and well isolated, and the available premium leather-trimmed seating brings a refined touch to daily commutes and weekends away. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ take the friction out of staying connected, while available Google built-in layers in voice assistance, native Google Maps with live traffic, and access to select apps on Google Play for when you’re parked. Family devices are covered, too, with powerful USB-C charging throughout and standard wireless charging. With up to 55.1 cu. ft. of cargo space and 60/40-split rear seats, the ADX is flexible enough for a Dublin Market grocery run, a stroller and sports gear, or luggage for a road trip.
Every 2026 Acura ADX includes the AcuraWatch™ suite of driver-assistive technologies to support awareness and peace of mind. From CMBS™ and RDM to ACC with Low-Speed Follow, LKAS, and Traffic Jam Assist, the ADX helps you navigate daily traffic across Dublin, Hilliard, and Upper Arlington with intelligent assistance. Available features like a Multiview Camera and Low-Speed Braking Control add another layer of confidence when sliding into tight garage spots or navigating bustling retail centers around Bridge Street District. The advanced structure (ACE™ body design) and comprehensive airbag coverage further reinforce Acura’s commitment to occupant protection.
