• Acura ADX joins Integra and MDX in earning TOP SAFETY PICK honors from IIHS
• All ADX models are equipped with AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies and proprietary ACE™ body structure
• All fully tested Acura vehicles also earn top U.S. government 5-star overall crash-test ratings

The 2025 Acura ADX has earned the TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) award, one of the highest accolades from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2025 ADX excelled in IIHS crash avoidance and mitigation testing, thanks to Acura's comprehensive suite of safety technologies, including AcuraWatch™ advanced driver-assist system and next-generation collision mitigation features. ADX is the third Acura model awarded the Institute's TOP SAFETY PICK in 2025, joining the Integra and MDX. The ADX also earned a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score crash safety rating from NHTSA.

All 2025 ADX models are equipped with the AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including a Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)¹, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)², Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow³, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System⁴, Traffic Jam Assist, blind spot information (BSI)⁵, Traffic Sign Recognition⁶ and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor.

Moreover, ADX features the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to help protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems.

In a segment first, ADX uses next-generation driver and front passenger airbags specifically designed to reduce head rotation in a collision, especially an oblique collision. The driver's airbag uses an innovative donut-shaped structure to cradle and hold the head, mitigating rotation and reducing the likelihood of brain injury.

On the passenger side, a three-chamber airbag design also used in Integra achieves a similar result. The three chambers inflate separately, with the two outer chambers that extend above the main chamber designed to cradle the head and control rotation.

Along with side curtain airbags and side impact airbags for both driver and front passenger, ADX features a total of 10 airbags.

In addition to IIHS testing, every Acura model that has been fully evaluated in the NHTSA's 2025 and 2026 model year NCAP testing has received a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score.⁷

1. LKAS only assists driver in maintaining proper lane position when lane markings are identified without a turn signal in use and can only apply mild steering torque to assist. LKAS may not detect all lane markings; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and road condition. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions
2. CMBS cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and other factors. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. System designed to mitigate crash forces. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
3. ACC with Low-Speed Follow cannot detect all objects ahead and may not detect a given object; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed, and other factors. ACC should not be used in heavy traffic, poor weather, or on winding roads. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
4. Road Departure Mitigation only alerts drivers when lane drift is detected without a turn signal in use and can apply mild steering torque to assist driver in maintaining proper lane position and/or brake pressure to slow the vehicle's departure from a detected lane. RDM may not detect all lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary based on weather, speed and road condition. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. Driver remaining responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
5. The systems are not a substitute for your own visual assessment before changing lanes or backing up, and may not detect all objects, or provide complete information about conditions, behind or to the side of the vehicle. System accuracy will vary based on weather, size of object, and speed. Driver remains responsible for safely operating vehicle and avoiding collisions.
6. TSR cannot detect all traffic signs and may misidentify certain signs. Accuracy will vary based on weather and other factors. System operation affected by extreme interior heat. Driver remains responsible for complying with all traffic regulations.
7. Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.SaferCar.gov).
