A Subtle Price Increase Has the 2026 Acura ADX Feeling Down | Carscoops
Despite stating that prices remain the same, Acura has quietly raised the destination fee.
The 2026 Acura ADX is now arriving at dealerships featuring a new paint color. The starting price is still $35,000, but the destination fee has been increased. Higher trims also see price increases, yet they don’t seem to offer additional features.
The Acura ADX has quickly become one of the brand's top-selling models, with 20,133 units sold last year, placing it slightly behind the Integra while having a strong start.
Acura is not looking to disrupt its success, so the 2026 ADX is receiving only minor updates. One notable change is the introduction of a new Double Apex Blue Pearl color, which replaces Adriatic Sea Blue Metallic and will be available with both Ebony and Orchid interiors. When selected with the Orchid interior, the seats will feature blue micro suede inserts.
Pricing is largely unchanged, starting at $35,000 plus a $1,450 destination fee. However, the ADX A-Spec has increased by $200, bringing the starting price to $38,200, while the ADX A-Spec with the Advance Package is now $400 more expensive.
It’s also important to note that Acura recently increased the delivery fee for the 2025 ADX by $100 to $1,450, just two days prior to the arrival of the 2026 model at dealerships.
Aside from the price changes, the ADX is well-equipped with LED lighting and 18-inch alloy wheels, along with features like a moonroof and a power liftgate.
Inside, there is a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9-inch infotainment system. Buyers will find heated leatherette front seats, a wireless smartphone charger, and an eight-speaker audio system. Additional features include ambient lighting, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Standard driver assistance features include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Traffic Jam Assist, along with Road Departure Mitigation, Forward Collision Warning, and a Blind Spot Information System, among more.
Higher-tier variants offer more luxury with features like remote start, Google integration, and a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. Leather, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel are also available.
All trims are equipped with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 190 hp (142 kW / 193 PS) and 179 lb-ft (242 Nm) of torque. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission, which can be upgraded to include all-wheel drive for an additional $2,000.
