Cargo and Towing
You'll find about 24 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats in the 2026 Acura ADX. Fold the seats, and you'll have about 55 cubic feet. You'll also notice the wide, square opening for the cargo space makes it easier to load bulky items like strollers, luggage, and sports gear.
The Lexus NX offers approximately 22.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and around 46.9 cubic feet with the seats folded, depending on the configuration.
If towing matters to you, the 2026 Acura ADX is expected to be rated for up to 1,500 pounds. In contrast, the Lexus NX lacks a consistent U.S. towing rating across its model lineup, which may restrict your towing capability around Marietta.
Starting MSRP Range
If you're focused on value, the 2026 Acura ADX is expected to start in the low-to-mid $30,000 range, giving you more standard technology and safety features at a lower entry price.
Lexus NX models start at around $40,000 MSRP. If you add optional features, your price can increase quickly. Upgrading or choosing more options will raise your total cost even faster. If you are a value-conscious luxury buyer, you may find this less attractive.
Safety Ratings
Official safety ratings for the 2026 Acura ADX are not yet available, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) often give Acura vehicles top results, such as Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ awards.
The Lexus NX also performs well in crash testing, though results vary by year and configuration.
Estimated 3-Year Depreciation
The 2026 Acura ADX is expected to depreciate approximately 35 to 38 percent over a three-year period. The Lexus NX typically has a higher depreciation rate, ranging from 40 to 45 percent over the same period, particularly on higher-priced trims.
Average CPO Price vs. Brand-New
Acura ADX Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models typically sell for 20 to 25 percent less than new. They offer substantial savings, the latest technology, and significant warranty coverage. Lexus NX CPO models usually sell for 15 to 20 percent less than their brand-new counterparts, reducing the value advantage for used-car buyers.
CPO Warranty Coverage and Eligibility
Most Acura ADX CPO models are only one or two years old. They usually sell for about 20-25 percent less than a new model, before the full 35-38 percent three-year depreciation is realized. Lexus NX CPO vehicles tend to be slightly older and depreciate more slowly initially, which keeps their CPO discounts tighter at 15-20 percent, despite higher long-term depreciation.
Final Verdict: The 2026 Acura ADX Is the Smarter Luxury Choice
The 2026 Acura ADX stands out by focusing on daily comfort, intuitive technology, strong safety standards, and long-term ownership value. Benefits include Acura Carland's Exclusive Lifetime Warranty. Although the Lexus NX has traditional luxury appeal and brand prestige, it demands higher prices with fewer included features or tangible advantages over time. This makes the 2026 Acura ADX a more compelling choice for compact-luxury SUV buyers across Georgia.
