Acura’s little crossover proves size isn’t everything.
The Acura ADX is small, fitting into the luxury subcompact SUV category. I am tall, deep into the decimal places for the 99th height percentile. When I was tapped to chaperone the ADX during its stay in our long-term review fleet, the first question to answer was if my 6-foot-10 self would fit. I do—at least, enough to take the assignment. More space would be nice, but Acura’s smallest SUV shows how layout and packaging matter at least as much as outright size for comfort behind the wheel.
Across the many vehicles I drive, fit is inconsistent and unpredictable. A spec sheet lends little indication about how much space I’ll have (or won’t). Measurements never tell the whole story; truth only comes from getting inside.
