2026 ADX Performance and Powertrain

The 2026 ADX is powered by the 1.5-liter VTEC Turbo engine shared with the Integra — tuned for compact crossover duty at 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft of torque through a sport-tuned CVT with metal paddle shifters. Front-wheel drive is standard, delivering an EPA-estimated 26 city/31 highway/28 combined mpg. Available AWD with Intelligent Control System is a $2,000 option on any trim, directing up to 50% of engine power to the rear wheels for enhanced cornering control and all-weather traction — a meaningful consideration for Gaithersburg and Rockville buyers navigating Maryland's wet-road commuting conditions on I-270 and US-355. The standard 4-Mode Drive System — Snow, Comfort, Normal, and Sport — gives ADX drivers conditions-matched performance, while the A-Spec with Advance Package adds an Individual mode for personalized behavior.

• 190hp 1.5T with sport CVT and metal paddle shifters — efficient and engaging for I-270 commuting.
• AWD available on all trims — $2,000 option for Maryland all-weather confidence.
• 4 drive modes standard; Individual mode on Advance Package — conditions-matched every day.

2026 ADX Interior and Technology

The 2026 ADX cabin sets a strong standard for its price point — a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, 9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Qi-compatible 15W wireless charger, heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control all standard on the base trim. The A-Spec with Advance Package adds the 15-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system, surround-view camera, ventilated front seats, Google built-in with Google Assistant and Google Maps, remote engine start, and the Individual drive mode. For the 2026 model year, this top trim also gains automatically folding exterior mirrors — a convenience detail consistent with the Acura experience. A standard panoramic moonroof on A-Spec trims and up to 55.1 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded make the ADX a genuinely practical daily vehicle for DC-area families.
