Why More Edmonton Drivers Are Choosing the 2025 Acura ADX Over the Corolla Cross
Posted on June 15, 2025
Choosing your next SUV can feel like a big decision. You want something that looks great, drives smooth, and keeps up with your daily life. All while staying comfortable through Alberta’s changing seasons! That’s where the 2025 Acura ADX comes in. It’s a brand-new premium compact SUV with everything from high-end tech to sporty performance. While the Toyota Corolla Cross has been a popular choice, the ADX brings more excitement, more style, and more value for Edmonton drivers looking to upgrade. Let’s explore what makes it stand out.
Looks That Feel Premium Right Away
The Acura ADX brings a sharp and bold design that feels more upscale than the Toyota Corolla Cross. Its wide, confident stance, frameless grille and sculpted rear end give it a sporty vibe that feels fresh and premium. Even the roofline has been smoothed out with laser-brazed seams for a cleaner look. The Corolla Cross has a nice shape too, but it leans more traditional. In Edmonton, where drivers want something that stands out during those long winters and scenic drives to Jasper, the ADX feels like a better fit.
Comfort That Comes Built-In
Inside the ADX, everything feels tailored to make your drives easier and more relaxing. A panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and wireless charging all come standard. The seats offer great support and the cabin is super quiet, even on highway drives. The Corolla Cross gives you the basics, but most of the good stuff is only on the top trims. ADX’s upscale interior and more standard features just make everyday driving feel better.
Tech That’s Easy to Love
Technology in the ADX feels made for now. There’s a big 10.2-inch digital display for your gauges, a 9-inch touchscreen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Navigation, voice controls, and even built-in Google are available on the higher trims. Rear passengers get USB-C ports too. Corolla Cross has decent tech, but the ADX makes it all feel smoother and more fun. The screen is easier to use, the menus are simpler, and the wireless features keep you untangled on the go.
Power That Actually Feels Engaging
The Corolla Cross is fine for calm city drives, but the ADX feels much more alive. Its turbocharged 1.5-litre engine delivers strong low-end power that’s fun to tap into. The CVT is sport-tuned and even lets you use paddle shifters. There’s a special drive mode for snow too, perfect for Edmonton’s long winter months. The Corolla Cross uses a naturally aspirated engine in its gas model, which can feel a bit flat. If you’re looking for that fun-to-drive feeling, the ADX gives you more of it.
Safety That’s Built to Impress
Every ADX comes loaded with AcuraWatch®. That means features like lane keeping, adaptive cruise, rear cross-traffic alert and forward collision warning are standard. The Platinum Elite A-SPEC trim goes even further, adding a surround-view camera, parking sensors and low-speed braking assist. Corolla Cross offers safety features too, but the ADX is simply more generous right out of the gate. In a city like Edmonton, where weather can change fast and roads can get slick, the added confidence is worth it.
