Acura ADX

Acura is basing its new entry-level SUV on the same platform as the Honda HR-V and other models. But unlike the subcompact HR-V's noisy and lackluster 2.0-liter four-cylinder, the ADX uses a more powerful 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that's also found in the Integra sedan. The engine is coupled to a CVT and together produces decent power. The ride is much better than the HR-V's and handling is responsive but not sporty. Except for the suede seats, the cabin doesn't exude luxury. For lumbar support adjustment and heated steering wheel buyers must opt for the Advance package.
