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.
A trend that has perpetuated for some time now.
Another way to protect the battery and occupants.
With just a few more miles on the clock.
Outpacing key rivals from Genesis, Volvo and Cadillac.
Ford just scaled back production there amid weak demand.

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.
