The 2025 ADX turned in a strong performance in IIHS crash avoidance and mitigation tests, helped by a comprehensive set of safety technologies.

Every 2025 ADX comes standard with the AcuraWatch suite of advanced safety and driver-assist features, including the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Traffic Jam Assist, Blind Spot Information (BSI), and Traffic Sign Recognition. The lineup looks well balanced and clearly tuned to reduce stress in everyday traffic.

The ADX also employs the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, designed to protect occupants in a range of frontal crash scenarios, complemented by enhanced supplemental safety systems. It’s a thoughtful foundation that speaks to the brand’s safety-first approach.

A first for the segment, the ADX uses next-generation driver and front passenger airbags engineered to limit head rotation in a crash, particularly in side impacts. The driver’s airbag features an innovative doughnut-shaped design that cradles the head, reducing rotation and lowering the likelihood of a traumatic brain injury.

On the passenger side, a similar effect is achieved with a three-chamber airbag design, also used in the Integra. The three chambers inflate independently, and the two outer sections positioned above the main chamber help support the head and curb rotation. The solution comes across as both clever and purposeful.

In addition to side airbags and side-impact protection for both the driver and front passenger, the ADX is equipped with a total of 10 airbags. That level of coverage is reassuring.
