The 2026 Acura ADX has its heart under the hood, in the form of a turbocharged VTEC® engine. For longtime North Carolina Acura fans, VTEC®needs no introduction. The technology has been used in performance Acura SUVs and sedans for years, and nothing found in the BMW X1 engine bay can compare to it. And did we mention you'll enjoy up to 26 city mpg when you drive an ADX, a figure that also eclipses what even the most efficient X1 can offer?
All the ADX engine's power is sent through a Continuously Variable Transmission, and its paddle shifters are a reminder of the sports car spirit found in every ADX for sale in Asheville. But whether you're shifting yourself or letting the gearbox do the work, you'll agree that responsive performance is always on the menu.
All of this comes complemented by an ADX price that undercuts the BMW X1 MSRP by thousands of dollars.1 Don't pay more to get less -- choose Acura vs. BMW and take home the SUV that eclipses the X1 in both price and performance.
