The 2025 Acura ADX is all-new this year, and it takes its place as Acuras smallest and least expensive crossover SUV. If you think Acuras RDX or MDX are too big or too expensive, the entry-level ADX could very well satisfy.
Among many rivals the ADX faces, one of the most well-established models is the 2025 BMW X1 . The X1 arrived in BMW dealerships more than a decade ago, and BMW released this latest third-generation X1 for the 2023 model year. Similar to how Acura positions the ADX, the X1 is the entry point to BMWs extensive lineup of SUVs.
The ADX and X1 each have seating for five and city-friendly dimensions. But there are differences in price, features and how each drives. Edmunds team of experts tested them to find out which pint-size SUV is the better buy.
Engines and fuel economy
The ADX has a 190-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Unfortunately, Edmunds found the ADX lacks the refined dynamics found in other Acura vehicles, particularly regarding acceleration. The ADX needed 9.4 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph during Edmunds testing. This is much slower than nearly all direct rivals, including the spry X1.
In comparison, the BMW X1 delivers more of the premium driving feel expected in a luxury vehicle. A turbocharged four-cylinder produces 241 horsepower in the entry-level xDrive28i model or 341 horsepower in the zesty M35i. Each is fitted to a seven-speed automatic transmission and, unlike the ADX, all-wheel drive is standard. Edmunds found its xDrive28i test vehicle needed only 5.9 seconds for the same sprint to 60 mph. Thats a difference youll feel whenever you need to get up to speed on the highway or desire a burst of power to pass a slow-moving car.
Fuel economy is a bragging point of both SUVs. The ADX and X1 xDrive28i each offer an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined city/highway this dips to 27 mpg when the ADX is fitted with all-wheel drive.
Winner: BMW X1
Features and value
On price alone, the ADX appears the clear winner. It starts at $36,350 including destination charges. Thats thousands less than the X1s entry-level price of $42,525. Standard features in the ADX include synthetic leather upholstery, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless device charging, and ambient LED interior lighting. It also comes packed with an impressive roster of driver aids, such as blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance.
While the X1 is more expensive, it does get all-wheel drive as standard and not an extra-cost option like it is on the ADX. The racy M35i delivers plenty of punch, though it comes with a price specifically one starting north of $50,000. Similar to its Acura rival, the X1 is nicely equipped with tech features like a digital instrument display, a 10.2-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone connectivity. The X1 doesnt come with as many standard driver aids, though it does offer a few extra ones that cant get on an ADX at all.
Winner: tie
Comfort and utility
Edmunds experts found the front seats in the ADX A-Spec Advance test vehicle comfortable, highly adjustable, and wrapped in quality leather upholstery. In comparison, the optional M Sport front seats of Edmunds X1 test vehicle proved great at holding you in place during quick cornering but possibly too firm for ensuring comfort on long drives.
The same held true for the X1s sport-tuned suspension; Edmunds suggests choosing standard seat and suspension settings to boost the X1s comfort levels. Both come standard with heated front seats, but only the ADX has available ventilated seats to help you stay cool on hot days. In the X1s favor is its quiet cabin. The ADX, in contrast, lets in a lot of wind and road noise when youre driving on the highway.
Both of these SUVs are respectably roomy. The X1 has more overall headroom front and rear, though the ADX fights back with a small edge in rear legroom. Cargo space is another near tie the ADX provides up to 24.4 cubic feet of storage compared to 25.7 cubic feet with the X1.
This is a close category, but the X1 has enough of an advantage to give it the edge.
Winner: BMW X1
Edmunds says
The Acura ADX will appeal to you if youre looking for a small crossover SUV thats attractively priced. But it also doesnt do much to differentiate itself from a field full of more accomplished rivals. Overall, Edmunds recommends the X1. Its enjoyable to drive and pleasingly luxurious while still being practical.

2025款讴歌ADX是今年全新推出的车型，定位为讴歌旗下最小型且价格最亲民的跨界SUV。若您认为讴歌RDX或MDX尺寸过大或售价过高，这款入门级ADX或许能完美满足您的需求。
在ADX面临的众多竞争对手中，2025款宝马X1是最具代表性的车型之一。X1早在十多年前就已登陆宝马经销商展厅，而宝马在2023年推出了最新第三代X1。与讴歌对ADX的定位类似，X1是宝马庞大SUV产品线的入门级车型。
ADX和X1均采用五座布局，车身尺寸适合城市驾驶。但两者在价格、配置及驾驶体验上存在差异。Edmunds专家团队通过实测对比，为您解析哪款小型SUV更值得入手。
发动机与燃油经济性
ADX搭载了一台190马力的涡轮增压四缸发动机，匹配无级变速自动变速箱。前轮驱动为标配，全轮驱动则为选配。然而，埃德蒙兹（Edmunds）评测发现，该车型的动态表现不如讴歌其他车款那般精炼，尤其在加速性能方面表现欠佳——测试中ADX从静止加速至60英里/小时需9.4秒，比包括轻快的X1在内的几乎所有直接竞品都要慢得多。
相比之下，宝马X1更能体现豪华车应有的高端驾驶感受。其入门级xDrive28i车型搭载涡轮增压四缸发动机，可输出241马力；而活力十足的M35i版本则达到341马力。两款车型均匹配七速自动变速箱，且与ADX不同，全轮驱动系统为全系标配。据Edmunds测试，xDrive28i测试车仅需5.9秒即可完成0-60英里/小时加速。这种性能差异在高速公路上提速或超越慢车时尤为明显。
燃油经济性是这两款SUV的共同亮点。ADX和X1 xDrive28i的EPA综合油耗（城市/高速）均为28英里每加仑，但当ADX配备全轮驱动系统时，这一数值会降至27英里每加仑。
获胜者：宝马X1
特性与价值
仅就价格而言，ADX显然是赢家。其起售价为36,350美元（含运费），比X1的入门价42,525美元低了数千美元。ADX的标准配置包括人造皮革座椅、9英寸触控屏、无线智能手机互联、无线充电设备以及氛围LED内饰灯。此外，该车型还配备了丰富的驾驶辅助功能，如盲点监测、自适应巡航控制和车道保持辅助系统。
尽管X1售价更高，但其标配了全轮驱动系统，而非像ADX车型那样需要额外选装。运动版M35i动力强劲，但价格也水涨船高——起售价超过5万美元。与竞争对手讴歌车型类似，X1配备了丰富的科技配置，如数字仪表盘、10.2英寸触控屏和无线智能手机互联功能。虽然X1的标配驾驶辅助系统不如竞品丰富，但它提供了一些ADX完全无法获得的额外功能。
获胜者：平局
舒适与实用
埃德蒙兹的专家认为，ADX A-Spec Advance测试车的前排座椅舒适度高、可调节性强，并采用优质皮革包裹。相比之下，埃德蒙兹X1测试车选配的M Sport前排座椅在快速过弯时能提供出色的支撑性，但可能因过于坚硬而影响长途驾驶的舒适性。
X1的运动调校悬挂同样遵循这一原则；埃德蒙兹汽车网建议选择标准座椅和悬挂设置以提升X1的舒适性。两款车型均标配前排加热座椅，但只有ADX提供通风座椅选项，助您在炎热天气保持凉爽。X1的优势在于其静谧的车厢环境。相比之下，ADX在高速行驶时会传入大量风噪和路噪。
这两款SUV的车内空间都相当宽敞。X1的前后排头部空间整体更占优势，但ADX以后排腿部空间的微弱优势扳回一城。载物空间方面同样难分伯仲——ADX提供24.4立方英尺（约691升）储物容积，而X1则为25.7立方英尺（约728升）。
这一类别竞争激烈，但X1凭借显著优势略胜一筹。
获胜者：宝马X1
埃德蒙兹表示
若您正在寻找一款价格诱人的小型跨界SUV，讴歌ADX或许能吸引您的目光。但它在众多实力强劲的竞争对手中并未展现出足够突出的差异化优势。综合考量，埃德蒙兹汽车网更推荐宝马X1——这款车型兼具驾驶乐趣与令人愉悦的豪华感，同时保持了实用特性。
