The Acura ADX Offers Millennials and Gen Z an Affordable Option

— February 26, 2025 — Autos
The Acura ADX compact SUV is making its debut this spring as the brand's latest entry-level, cost-conscious vehicle model that will prioritize competitiveness in the automotive industry. The vehicle will start at $35,000 and will be targeted towards Millennial and Gen Z drivers seeking out an accessible model that doesn't skimp on some premium features. The vehicle will thus feature heated front seats, a moonroof, dual-zone climate control, wireless smartphone charging, a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and more.

The Acura ADX compact SUV will come with several optional upgrades to help drivers customize the vehicle to their specific wants or needs. The vehicle comes as part of a continued shift in the auto industry as brands seek to catch the attention of demographics who are less interested in vehicles than older consumers.
