Though premium amenities come standard across the board, the three Acura ADX trim levels let you customize your blend of value and opulence. Choose from well-equipped essentials with the entry-level ADX, sporty styling with the second-tier A-Spec, or full-loaded luxury – and sporty styling – with the range-topping A-Spec Advance. Our team here at Muller Acura of Merrillville put together this detailed comparison of all three variants to help you explore the appointments and performance available for this compact luxury SUV – what's the best Acura ADX trim for you?
All three Acura ADX trim levels are well-equipped with a robust menu of standard features, making every drive feel impeccably refined. Even in base form, this compact SUV is anything but basic. Here's a sample of the tech, comfort, and performance amenities you can find with every version of the 2026 ADX:
Along with the above, every model in our Acura ADX trim comparison is host to an array of modern driver-support technologies that make each journey safer and more intuitive, such as these:
The compact Acura ADX SUV starts with a myriad of premium features, such as standard heated front seats and the AcuraWatch driver-assistance suite, making even the entry-level ADX model an upscale option.
Now that we've covered the similarities of all three iterations, let's see what sets each of the Acura ADX trim levels apart.
The Acura ADX (base) comes with every feature you see listed above. In fact, this is the model that sets the foundation for the two higher-tier Acura ADX trims to build upon. Inside, you'll find Ebony and Gloss Black interior trim and leatherette seats, though you can opt for your choice of the following four exterior colors:
Move up to the A-Spec, and you'll notice some immediate differences. For starters, it has more sporty styling and larger 19-inch wheels. Inside, this variant houses leatherette seats with microsuede inserts in your choice of Ebony, Red, and Orchid – each of which pairs with Silver Metal Film trim. As for exterior hues, you have the previous four options in addition to Milano Red and Double Apex Blue Pearl II.
When you want to go all out on sporty appeal and elegant amenities, you go with the A-Spec Advance trim. It upgrades you to a premium 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen® sound system, a 12-way power driver's seat with power lumbar and two-position memory, and genuine leather upholstery in the same color schemes as the second-tier A-Spec – exterior shades carry over, as well. You'll also get more driver aids to support you on the road.
