The Acura ADX is an all-new model from the Japanese luxury brand, and it lowers the entrypoint to the automaker’s crossover SUV lineup significantly. It sits below the Acura RDX, the ZDX, and the MDX in the brand’s SUV lineup.

The luxury compact crossover class is a popular one. It hits the sweet spot for many consumers: the elevated ride height and interior volume of the body style, the prestige badge, and the premium comfort. Smaller vehicles also tend to come with smaller price tags, adding to the attractiveness of this segment. And now, thanks to Acura, competitors may have to look at bringing those prices down even more.

Verdict: The ADX delivers on its promise–an experience that is scaled down in size but not standards. Some will find it underpowered, but most will be thrilled to get this mix of comfort, convenience, and styling at a significant cost savings.
