The 2025 Acura ADX has been recognized with the TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) award, one of the highest distinctions granted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The model stood out in rigorous collision prevention and mitigation tests, driven by a comprehensive suite of the brand’s active and passive safety technologies.
With this result, the ADX becomes the third Acura model to receive the IIHS Safety Pick designation in 2025, joining the Integra and the MDX. In addition, the compact SUV also achieved a top 5-star rating in the NHTSA Overall Vehicle Score, reinforcing its position among the safest vehicles in its segment.

Standard driver assistance and safety technologies
All 2025 Acura ADX models leave the factory equipped with the AcuraWatch package, which brings together advanced driver-assistance systems, including:
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS)
- Adaptive Cruise Control with low-speed follow
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
- Traffic jam assist
- Blind spot monitoring
- Traffic sign recognition
- Rear cross traffic monitor
These features work in an integrated manner to reduce accident risks and increase protection for occupants and pedestrians.
Advanced structure and next-generation airbags
The ADX incorporates the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, designed to better distribute impact energy and protect occupants in different types of frontal collisions. The model also features advanced supplemental restraint systems.
One of the highlights is the use of next-generation airbags, developed to reduce head rotation in crashes, especially in oblique impacts.
- The driver’s airbag uses an innovative donut-shaped design that wraps around the head and helps mitigate rotation, reducing the risk of brain injuries.
- On the passenger side, a three-chamber airbag, also adopted in the Integra, inflates sequentially, with outer chambers designed to cradle the head and control its rotation.
Combined with side and curtain airbags, the Acura ADX is equipped with a total of 10 airbags.
Consistency in safety testing
In addition to its IIHS performance, Acura highlights that all models fully evaluated in NHTSA NCAP tests for the 2025 and 2026 model years received the highest overall 5-star rating, underscoring the consistency of the brand’s vehicle safety strategy.
