Power That Works for BC Roads

The Acura ADX is powered by a 1.5‑litre turbocharged engine producing 190 horsepower and 179 lb‑ft of torque. It has multiple drive modes for changing road conditions and delivers strong fuel economy at 9.1 L/100 km in the city, 7.7 on the highway, and 8.5 combined. In contrast, the Audi Q3 uses a 2.0‑litre turbocharged engine with 228 horsepower and 251 lb‑ft of torque, reaching 0‑100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds. While it is quicker, it uses more fuel over time. On the contrary, for BC drivers who want a smooth drive without constant fuel stops, the ADX offers the perfect mix of efficiency and everyday performance.

Space That Fits Real Life

Both the Acura ADX and Audi Q3 seat five passengers comfortably. The ADX offers a generous 1,560 litres of cargo space with the rear seats folded. The 60/40 split‑folding design makes it easy to load gear for camping trips in Squamish or ski weekends in Whistler.
In comparison, the Audi Q3 has 1,360 litres of cargo space with the seats folded. That is still practical, but it limits packing for bigger adventures. On the contrary, the ADX gives you more room and flexibility, which makes it the better choice for active BC families.

Comfort and Tech That Feel Right

Inside the Acura ADX, you’ll find a standard 10.2‑inch digital instrument cluster and a panoramic moonroof that brightens the cabin. It comes with an 8‑speaker audio system or an available 15‑speaker Bang & Olufsen® system for richer sound. Comfort features include heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, heated windows, fog lights, keyless entry, and a wireless charger. In contrast, the Audi Q3 has a larger 12.3‑inch HD display and a standard 15‑speaker sound system. On the contrary, while the Q3 focuses on display size, the ADX balances tech with comfort features that are perfect for BC’s cooler, wetter climate, giving it the edge for all-season driving.

Safety That Has You Covered

The Acura ADX comes standard with Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low‑Speed Follow, Road Departure Mitigation, and Cross Traffic Monitoring. These systems work seamlessly to keep your drive confident and stress‑free. In comparison, the Audi Q3 also offers advanced safety features, but on the contrary, Acura’s safety technology feels more integrated and responsive, especially on the varied roads and weather conditions we see across BC.
