In the world of luxurious vehicles, Lincoln has its fair share of competition from brands like Acura, which has released a bevy of updated products as of late – including the revised 2025 MDX and 2025 RDX. Now, it’s adding yet another rival to that list – the 2025 Acura ADX, which will compete with the Lincoln Corsair, a model that currently faces a bit of an uncertain future. However, the ADX doesn’t just expand Acura’s crossover lineup, it also adds a bit more sportiness to it as well, something that the brand has been focusing on for a while now.
The 2025 Acura ADX is classified as a subcompact crossover and it sports familiar family styling cues, including its mesh-pattern pentagonal grille, angular LED headlights, and slim LED taillights with dual exhaust tips out back. However, it’s also powered by the same turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder powerplant present in the sporty Integra. Acura hasn’t yet released power figures for this iteration, but it generates 200 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque in the Integra. Regardless, that turbo four is mated to a CVT gearbox, driving the front wheels in standard form, while all-wheel drive is an available across the lineup.
Rolling on the same platform as the Integra, the ADX borrows many of its interior bits and pieces from the Honda HR-V, including the nine-inch infotainment touchscreen inside the cabin, which is joined by a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. There is some additional sound deadening and unique styling cues, along with the typical Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality, plus standard dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and a sunroof.
The A-Spec trim adds a host of sporty elements outside and in, including 19-inch wheels rather than standard 18-inch units, plus ambient lighting and faux-suede seat trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel. In terms of timing, the 2025 Acura ADX is expected to launch in the U.S. in early 2025, with pricing starting somewhere in the mid-$30,000 range.
Comments
The Corsair is so much better looking inside and out.
Fully disagree. I find all of Lincolns lineup lackluster right now. Id easily take the ADX over anything Lincoln has and that’s not even accounting for Fords trash quality anymore.
