The engine

1.5 VTEC Turbo

1.5L Turbo I4

Honda's turbocharged 1.5-litre four gives the ADX a torquier, more eager feel than the naturally aspirated engines in most small crossovers, without much economy penalty.

Drawn from Honda's proven global turbo family used in the Civic and CR-V, retuned here for Acura's entry SUV.

Turbocharging gives strong low-end pull that masks the modest displacement.
The same engine family has a long, dependable track record across Honda and Acura.
