What Are the Acura ADX Trim Differences?

Now that we've covered the similarities of all three iterations, let's see what sets each of the Acura ADX trim levels apart.

Acura ADX Base

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.

Acura ADX A-Spec

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.

Acura ADX A-Spec Advance

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.
