ADX on a Steady Start
The Acura ADX is the newest member of Acura’s US lineup, rolling out last year as the brand’s entry-level crossover. Slotting under the RDX and MDX, the ADX targets customers who want to step up to a premium badge without breaking the bank.
Sales for the ADX landed right in the middle – not a runaway success like the RDX or MDX, but with over 20,000 units moved in its first year, it’s earned its spot. Acura wants to keep that steady momentum as it heads into 2026.
Trim | Drivetrain | MSRP | MSRP + Destination |
ADX | FWD | $35,000 | $36,450 |
ADX | SH-AWD | $37,000 | $38,450 |
ADX A-Spec | FWD | $38,200 | $39,650 |
ADX A-Spec | SH-AWD | $40,200 | $41,650 |
ADX A-Spec w/ Advance | FWD | $42,400 | $43,850 |
ADX A-Spec w/ Advance | SH-AWD | $44,400 | $45,850 |
For 2026, Acura isn’t touching ADX pricing – except for a $100 bump in destination charges. That means the new model is basically a carbon copy when it comes to the numbers. On paper, it looks like a safe, no-surprises choice.
That sounds good – until you see what’s still sitting on dealer lots.
The Current 2025 Inventory Pricing
Cars.com shows over 3,800 new 2025 Acura ADX units still up for grabs nationwide. That much leftover stock usually means dealers are ready to deal, and the ADX is no exception.
Base FWD models are already dipping as low as $30,998, with average discounts around $4,000. Move up to the FWD A-Spec, and you’re looking at about $6,000 off. Even the SH-AWD versions, including A-Spec trims, are showing discounts of over $5,000.
The only trim holding its ground is the FWD A-Spec with Advance Package, where discounts are closer to $2,000. Everywhere else, buyers are seeing real savings off MSRP – not just on-paper incentives.
Line those prices up against a 2026 ADX with nearly the same equipment, and the value gap is tough to miss.
What Are You Missing Out On?
Opting for a 2025 ADX means skipping whatever minor tweaks Acura saved for 2026 – just a new Double Apex Blue Pearl paint option, not real mechanical or tech upgrades. No new powertrain, no big feature shakeup, and nothing structural to set the two apart.
If having the latest model year matters to you, the 2026 ADX still checks that box. For everyone else, the numbers make a strong case for the leftover 2025s. With discounts deep enough to erase the “newer” badge advantage, the older model quietly turns into the smarter buy.
