Engine Specs and Performance Review

Performance is one of the defining characteristics of the 2026 Acura ADX. Every model is powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine producing 190 horsepower, paired with a  continuously variable transmission engineered to provide smooth acceleration and efficient power delivery. Borrowing much of its engineering DNA from the sporty Acura Integra, the ADX offers a driving experience that feels more athletic and connected than many competitors in the compact luxury crossover segment.  Front-wheel drive comes standard, while Acura's available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system enhances both confidence and performance. This sophisticated system can distribute power between the front and rear wheels as conditions demand, helping maximize traction on wet or slippery roads while also improving cornering stability and overall handling precision. While providing the responsive acceleration and agile handling drivers expect from an Acura, it remains economical enough for everyday commuting and long-distance travel with fuel economy ratings sitting at 30 mpg combined for the Base trim, 29 mpg combined for the A-Spec, and 28 mpg combined for the A-Spec Advance.

Trim Level Review

The 2026 Acura ADX is available at Acura of Stockton in three thoughtfully equipped trim levels: Base, A-Spec, and A-Spec Advance.  These options give drivers throughout Stockton, Sacramento, Elk Grove, Modesto, and the surrounding Central Valley a luxury crossover tailored to their needs and price point. Let's take a closer look at what each version of the all-new ADX brings to the table.

Base

The ADX Base model serves as a strong entry point into Acura's luxury SUV lineup. Standard front-wheel drive provides excellent efficiency, while Acura's available all-wheel-drive system adds extra confidence in changing road conditions. The interior features leatherette-trimmed seating surfaces, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Additional standard amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, a power moonroof, a power liftgate, keyless access with push-button start, multiple USB-C charging ports, and a premium audio system. AcuraWatch safety technology comes standard as well, providing features such as adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic monitoring.

A-Spec

Moving up to the ADX A-Spec adds a more athletic personality both inside and out. Exterior upgrades include unique A-Spec styling elements, gloss-black trim accents, darkened exterior details, exclusive badging, and striking 19-inch Shark Gray alloy wheels that give the ADX a more aggressive stance. The interior takes on a sportier feel with microsuede and leather-trimmed seating surfaces, contrast stitching, stainless steel sport pedals, a flat-bottom sport steering wheel, and exclusive A-Spec interior accents. Heated and ventilated front seats add year-round comfort, while upgraded technology and available premium audio options further enhance the driving experience. The A-Spec's sport-focused tuning also gives the ADX a more engaging feel behind the wheel, appealing to drivers who want luxury with a stronger emphasis on performance.

A-Spec Advance

The ADX A-Spec Advance delivers the most luxurious and feature-rich experience available. This premium trim builds upon the A-Spec's sporty design with upscale amenities such as Milano leather upholstery, 16-way power-adjustable front seats with memory functions, a head-up display, and a digital rearview mirror. Additional sound-deadening materials create an exceptionally quiet cabin, while adaptive dampers continuously adjust suspension settings to optimize ride comfort and handling performance. Acura's renowned Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system comes standard, providing enhanced traction, cornering precision, and overall stability.
