HRV with makeup!

Definitely looks better than the HRV. I cannot get past the mouth on the front of the HRV!😮

[@patdunbar429]

That's what I was thinking.

[@sergeihanush2262]

Engine is different. HRV is only 2.0.

[@jaylonworld]

Thats basically what it's based off

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Ho ho ho… look who states the obvious. Acura was always a luxurious Honda.

He was probably just upset that it wasn't a Twinkie tbh 😂

[@tklok2010]

Are you kidding me? How does Acura install a touchscreen and fully digital display in the ADX, but leave the RDX with that stupid scroll pad and regular displays.

[@geocape7060]

Amen.

[@HamishCarpenter]

Agreed!

[@rydgevilla8643]

It’s a new vehicle to the lineup. RDX will get it soon lol

[@tklok2010]

@ soon as in 10+ years. lol. I’m not even sure why Acura didn’t update the sound system to the bang and olufsen like it did for the MDX, which also has a touchscreen. Guess Acura’s second best selling vehicle isn’t worth it.

[@ammarisrar2005]

Great review guys!! I was watching review of same vehicle on Raiti’s Ride and Joe found the stuffed donut in the center console. LOL. Love it.

[@joen4088]

Why Acura continues to not offer hybrids is frustrating and baffling.

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Good question. I also wonder about that.

[@drivescene6747]

The company is being ran by people who don’t understand the North American market and refuse to learn it. They will only learn by failure

[@mr.mahmudhossain8033]

They don’t know how to make a good performance hybrid SUV like Lexus. Simple answer

[@drivescene6747]

@@mr.mahmudhossain8033 the previous MDX Sport Hybrid is better than any Lexus suv hybrid, the Civic Hybrid is better than the Corolla and Prius hybrid. They know how to make them, they’re just too stupid to realize that the market demands hybrids. By the time they figure it out, they’ll have lost too much market share.

[@Izaya_Orihara]

@@drivescene6747 thats not true at all. Toyota's hybrid system is leagues above Honda's.

[@toddleech1055]

You need to look at Raiti's rides, as you left a donut in the center console !! again, another great review guys, big fan of your content.

[@porkypotato]

Oh you also noticed?😂

[@tyhyhh]

this would be a big option for me if they put the hybrid crv drivetrain in this or maybe a type s version with the tlx shawd drivetrain

[@petermacdonald6332]

I agree,Type-s awd hybrid . 👍

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

Thank you for this full presentation. When a car is this new most YT channels will settle for a raw video and until they get around to making a full length video later.

[@PSB-900]

Down the road I'll be looking for a small or medium sized SUV. Can't wait to test drive this one as well as others. Great review!

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

Acura has the opportunity to make a ADX type S. Get rid of the cvt, put a dual clutch in it and tweaks to the engine and boom you have a fun, nimble compact suv. Kinda like the intergra.

[@drivescene6747]

I doubt they’ll use a DCT, it will more than likely have the 10at from the RDX

[@kenfrankel3498]

Critique : No spare and this not even a hybrid… Those blue suede inserts. As nice as they look brand new … they’ll fade to greyish color after extended sun exposure.

[@jeckellstallworth]

I'm with you! Where is the hybrid 🤷

This is basically a Honda with Acura badge

[@rasheeda8527]

Exactly what Toyota/Lexus does

[@ammarisrar2005]

That is what every Acura is 😂

[@Jumperman12mac]

That how it's always been for an long time and never complained about it. There's something great about that.

[@jjhforever]

@@ammarisrar2005 I meant it's so basic why they even bother to call it Acura.

[@RetroKingOG]

What’s your point, this is essentially what Acura is built off of. Which makes it still today the most selling luxury brand.

[@themusers03]

After dealer markups, it won't be so affordable.

[@AmitThakar-e9g]

Can you add seat width /shoulder room comparisons as well … it makes a lot of difference along with leg room numbers

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Acura's all about that blend of luxury and performance! They have some great models like the MDX for family space or the sporty NSX if you're into speed.

[@chih6654]

The biggest competitor of ADX is HR-V, and a nice, mid-level trim HR-V Sport is still 8000 cheaper than an entry level ADX. In addition, the engine in ADX is extremely unreliable compared to the one inside the HR-V. If Honda ever decided to put the hybrid powertrain from Civic in HR-V, Acura would wish they never made ADX...

[@rahimi4762]

Nope. These ppl shopping Lexus UX and Audi Q3 too. But yeah. hRV may lose some sales.

[@umairahmad6261]

You gentlemen provide excellent reviews

[@patone2184]

Great view guys and I love it

[@andrewgus8763]

Acura needs to redesign the TLX asap, it’s a big and fun sedan with a tiny and outdated interior.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

RDX is the oldest, so it will be the first to come up with a redesign.

[@rahimi4762]

That interior is still very nice.

[@raymondanderson1026]

Looks very well done. Just need that 2 motor hybrid!

[@tybread2997]

The features on this are pretty standard in the ZRV where the North American HRV doesn't have the same to keep costs down. I'd like to see that hybrid version brought over.

[@Lessontobe]

Great review and beautiful car!

[@wlee6685]

The Acura Integra is a 7.1 seconds 0-60 times. This compact suv looks significantly heavier so hopefully that wont add to much time to that result

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Excellent review of a decent vehicle!😸

[@Striker50_]

Why is the key fob larger than my cell phone 📱😑

[@samdovels1234]

360 camera should be standard on such a vehicle these days. It's a shame that's it's offered only on the top trim. And if i may be a bit nit-picky, the red START/STOP button is way too bright and annoying. Toyota or Hyundai makes it much better.

[@MegaDrake25]

I know they better go all out for the RDX redesign.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

I would like Acura to make RDX standard 2.0T, optional 3.0T Type S, a hybrid and an EV, so everyone can choose their favorite powertrain.

[@darkivaz-aaa1145]

@@blackwhirlwind1245 That would be nice, but this is Acura. They ain't going to do what you just mentioned.

[@RichD321]

Paddle shifters with a CVT. Why?

[@AutoShowTV669]

Luxury car ❤

[@leeedens9497]

Ok, it’s based on the same platform as the Acura Integra and Honda HR-V (the side profile looks a lot like the HR-V) and will share the Integra’s 1.5 I4 turbo, so, when can we expect the ADX Type S model, if it does happen, I’m guessing a DCT, it will sell, but probably at the expense of the Integra, pricing will be everything, to see if the ADX and Integra can coexist

[@nathanminer6890]

They have to offer a higher HP version of this right? ADX Type S at 300 HP? Some folks will balk at buying a “lux” crossover if it doesn’t have at least 250+ hp, regardless of size / weight. A 1.5 turbo seems beneath the Acura badge.

[@WillfulLoki5281]

Your website doesn't list the Acura ADX as an option to search.

[@Zanderthelab]

What’s the top trim? Is the awd, SH-AWD?

[@MrNemo721]

No it's the far inferior "slip n grip" system from the HRV because that is what this is underneath.

[@Zanderthelab]

@ I’ll pass then lol

[@samliang4146]

[@diseasesjesus5078]

This suv with the 2.4 k series they dropped in like 2022 and acura DCT would be much much better

[@CreateR900]

I’d rather have a carbon turbo cx5 with the terracotta interior if I’m shopping this. Its double the car for $38k

[@R3c0nf1gur3d]

Any ambient lighting on the doors or dash/centerconsole? I really want my interiors looking like Tron.

[@rahimi4762]

Yes. Ambient is standard.

[@patdunbar429]

Is this similar in size to the Honda HR-V?

[@ThePiko22]

All they needed to do was add the full hybrid system from the CRV or civic and this would be a 360 win. Another poor decision from Acura/Honda

[@therussianbear6900]

big miss not offering the hybrid

[@RichD321]

They need to remove 5 inches from the Honda front end, not add to it.

[@davemunoz9742]

So sad Honda is sticking with the 1.5T and CVT, I know people have had problems with the turbo on some CRVs

[@johnpal6003]

All good until the 1.5L was brought up. Imagine this had the NA V6 or the type S, V6 turbo.

[@lane5686]

Acura should’ve just given us the RDX Type S and focus on refreshing the NSX to compete with the Corvette.

[@rydgevilla8643]

NSX don’t exist anymore

[@samliang4146]

Rdx type s

[@joa4613]

brands dont survive by building expensive enthusiast cars like that lol

[@rahimi4762]

NSX never competed with a Corvette. NSX sent Lambo and Ferrari back to the drawing board. Google it.

[@joeldawson83]

No hybrid? Double rear spoiler? 🤔

[@alexgutierrez7029]

Beautiful ❤

[@Alistbo9]

I’ll take this with a type s engine in it, still prefer a cx-50 though

[@darkivaz-aaa1145]

or the kona.

[@techpappee]

It looks like a HRV with a different grill and rear. Other than that, it's a carryover Honda outside.

[@zyuhao663]

I mean, Mazda cx-5 is also a pretty similar option, which might be more affordable…

[@hassansuboh1891]

Nice painters tape blue accents lol. Why would they choose that color?

[@Derek-pq3zb]

1.5 turbo is horrendous lol. I had a 2023 AccORD LX with it….i traded it within 6 months. I couldn’t take it anymore…the 2.0 252hp engine from the 18-22 accord should’ve been the standard engine. They blew it

[@darkivaz-aaa1145]

the turbo won't last long on the 2.0T

[@samosei8412]

I stopped watching as soon as I heard about the cvt transmission. Even Infiniti and Nissan are getting out of it.

[@occckid123]

This car looks like a good competitor to Toyota Camry (I mean the price competitor, not the model type).

[@rahimi4762]

[@Trohn6969]

At this point just get a HRV. K20 is much more reliable. You really won’t feel the extra 40 hp. Both have Cvt.

[@cosmicviewer477]

Actually, I think it is a wise move. A lot of current Honda owners want to enter the Acura (luxury) market. This gives them the opportunity to do so affordably. Let's see what happens. If they end up having a good experience, they might consider "upgrading" to the RDX as their incomes expand.
