2026 Acura ADX vs 2026 Subaru Crosstrek
Serving Peoria, AZ
The 2026 Acura ADX brings a lot to the table. It's comfortable, stylish, fun to drive, and offers today's hottest tech features. While the new ADX easily ranks among today's most appealing premium compact SUVs, some car shoppers may also be considering the 2026 Subaru Crosstrek as their next vehicle. Let's take a look at how these two models compare.
Performance
If you prioritize driving fun, the 2026 Acura ADX is sure to impress. Its standard 1.5-liter, VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder engine pumps out 190 horsepower. Impressive low-end torque makes this engine even more entertaining. Rated at 180 horsepower, the Subaru Crosstrek's standard four-cylinder engine isn't as potent. Expect the ADX to offer a more spirited drive.
You can also take advantage of the ADX's more responsive handling. Its wider stance and lightweight aluminum front subframe promote outstanding stability, even on twisty roads. An optimally tuned electronic power steering system makes the ADX even more engaging.
Appearance
The Subaru Crosstrek has a stylish exterior. However, it does not look as striking as the new Acura ADX. Signature styling cues, such as the Diamond Pentagon Grille, help the ADX stand out. If you really want to make a bold statement, opt for the performance-inspired A-Spec package. It bolsters the SUV's sporty appearance with exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels and blacked-out details. The ADX also offers special exterior colors, such as Double Apex Blue Pearl II and Urban Gray Pearl.
Standard Features
The base ADX is significantly more luxurious than the Subaru Crosstrek's entry-level trim. Several premium features come standard on the base ADX. Highlights include a sunroof, a power-adjustable driver's seat, an eight-speaker audio system, a wireless charger, and a digital gauge cluster. Standard synthetic leather upholstery gives the ADX's cabin an even more upscale feel. Meanwhile, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto make it especially easy to connect your smartphone to the infotainment system.
Not only does the base Crosstrek feature a less entertaining four-speaker audio system, but it also lacks a power driver's seat and a sunroof. To get a wireless charger and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto smartphone integration, Crosstrek buyers must step up to a higher trim level. Other downgrades include cloth upholstery, traditional analog gauges, and non-heated front seats.
