Acura’s SUV lineup is intentionally simple, covering the core segments with four models: the new ADX subcompact arriving in 2025, the refreshed RDX compact SUV, the three-row MDX, and the all-electric ZDX. Together, they give shoppers a clear choice between gas and electric, two-row and three-row, without the clutter found in many rival lineups.
Acura ADX (Subcompact Crossover SUV)
Key features:
Turbo 1.5L power with sport-tuned handling
Premium tech including Google built-in & B&O audio
Available AWD and A-Spec styling options
Acura’s first-ever ADX arrives as the brand’s new gateway SUV, aimed squarely at younger buyers who want premium features without premium pricing. It blends youthful styling, a turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, and a sport-tuned chassis using the same global architecture as the Integra.
Inside, the ADX punches above its weight with features rarely standard in this segment: a moonroof, heated seats, dual-zone climate, power tailgate, wireless smartphone integration, and Acura’s latest Precision Cockpit digital display. Higher trims add a panoramic roof, Ultrasuede, ventilated seats, and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen system — giving the ADX the tech-rich, premium vibe Acura promises at this price point.
Acura RDX (Compact Crossover SUV)
Key features:
New frameless grille and updated wheels
Reworked console with more usable storage
Standard SH-AWD and AcuraWatch safety suite
The 2025 Acura RDX receives a styling refresh featuring a frameless Diamond Pentagon grille, new mesh design, and updated wheel options across all trims. Inside, the center console has been reworked for better everyday usability, including increased storage, larger cupholders, and easier access to the wireless charging pad. The 10.2-inch display now supports a new wide-screen mode for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
All models continue to use SH-AWD as standard along with the 272-hp turbocharged 2.0L engine. Higher packages add items such as full-leather upholstery, additional ambient lighting, and redesigned door speaker illumination. All RDX models include AcuraWatch safety features, along with three years of complimentary AcuraLink remote services.

Acura MDX (Mid-Size SUV)
Key features:
New aggressive front fascia and refined cabin
12.3″ touchscreen with Google built-in
Upgraded safety tech + optional Bang & Olufsen audio
Acura’s flagship SUV gets a meaningful mid-cycle update for 2025, focused on design, tech, and refinement rather than major mechanical changes. The front fascia is more aggressive across the lineup, the cabin adopts a new 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, and noise reduction efforts make the interior feel noticeably calmer on the road.
Higher trims gain more premium touches, including upgraded seating, new wheel designs, and two Bang & Olufsen audio systems—one exclusive to the Type S with Advance Package. Safety tech also moves forward, with broader enhancements to AcuraWatch and the debut of AcuraWatch 360 on the Type S.

Acura ZDX (Electric Mid-Size SUV)
Key features:
102-kWh battery + DC fast-charging up to 190 kW
A-Spec or 500-hp Type S performance
First Acura with Google built-in + Bang & Olufsen audio
The ZDX is Acura’s first full EV, arriving as a two-trim lineup: the single- or dual-motor A-Spec and the high-output Type S. Built on a dedicated EV platform with near 50/50 weight distribution, it focuses on stability, refinement, and performance rather than raw range alone. A large 102-kWh battery supports competitive fast-charging speeds, adding an estimated 81 miles in roughly 10 minutes under ideal conditions.
Inside, the ZDX introduces Acura’s new Google-built-in infotainment generation and the brand’s first Bang & Olufsen audio system. The Type S takes things further with adaptive air suspension, big Brembo brakes, and roughly 500 hp (making it the most powerful Acura SUV ever).
