Acura ADX Features & Specs
At White Bear Acura, we know that drivers in the St. Paul and White Bear Lake area need a vehicle that can handle a snowy Monday morning commute just as easily as a weekend trip to the North Shore. The ADX is designed to do exactly that, offering a sophisticated entry point into the world of precision-crafted performance.

Turbocharged Performance Built for the Modern Drive
Under the hood, the Acura ADX features a 1.5-liter VTEC® Turbocharged engine designed for punchy, responsive power. Delivering 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque, this engine provides a smooth, flat torque curve that makes merging onto I-35E effortless.
Unlike many compact SUVs that feel sluggish, the ADX utilizes a sport-tuned Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with integrated paddle shifters. This gives you the control of a manual when you want it and the efficiency of an automatic when you don’t. For those looking for extra confidence during Minnesota winters, the available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with Intelligent Control System can send up to 50% of engine torque to the rear wheels for enhanced traction.
If you are ready to see how it feels on the road, you can explore our new Acura ADX inventory to find the right color and configuration for your style.
Sophisticated Interior and Clever Cargo Space
Step inside, and you’ll find an "open cockpit" design that prioritizes visibility and comfort. Acura has implemented body-stabilizing front seats that reduce fatigue on long drives, while the low beltline and thin pillars provide a commanding view of the road.
The ADX may be a "compact" SUV, but it doesn't feel small. It offers class-leading rear legroom (37.7 inches) and a cargo area that adapts to your life:
-
Rear Cargo: 24.4 cubic feet behind the second row.
-
Max Cargo: Fold the 60/40 split rear seats to reveal up to 55 cubic feet of space—plenty of room for camping gear or a new haul from the Maplewood Mall.
-
A-Spec® Style: Opting for the A-Spec trim adds Ultrasuede® seats and a flat-bottom steering wheel for a more athletic vibe.
Next-Generation Technology & Connectivity
Acura didn't hold back on the tech suite for the ADX. Every model comes standard with the 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital instrument display and a 9-inch color touchscreen.
Key tech highlights include:
-
Wireless Connectivity: Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ mean no more tangled cords.
-
Premium Audio: While the standard 8-speaker system is excellent, the A-Spec with Advance Package features a massive 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen® premium sound system designed specifically for the ADX cabin.
-
Google Built-In: Available Google Maps and Google Assistant integration allow you to control your environment using only your voice.
Safety That Watches Out for You
Peace of mind comes standard. Every ADX includes the AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assist technologies. This includes:
-
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
-
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
-
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
-
Traffic Jam Assist (perfect for rush hour in the Twin Cities)
