2026 Acura ADX A-Spec with Advance Package: St. Louis Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: The 2026 ADX A-Spec with Advance Package

This is the top of the ADX lineup: $42,000 MSRP front-wheel drive, $44,000 with Real Time AWD, both plus a $1,450 destination charge. It’s A-Spec’s black wheels, panoramic roof, and sport styling with the factory Advance Package layered on top — Google built-in, Alexa built-in, a complimentary 3-year data plan, leather-trimmed seats (upgraded from A-Spec’s leatherette), a heated steering wheel, driver’s-seat memory, a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, and a Multi-View surround camera. The engine doesn’t change: still the same 190-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four and CVT every ADX gets. EPA rates it 26 city / 31 highway / 28 combined mpg on FWD, 25/30/27 on AWD. Frank Leta Acura, 11777 Tesson Ferry Road in St. Louis, stocks the fully loaded ADX for buyers who want everything the model offers.

Not a separate trim on the sticker, but treated as one here

Acura doesn’t sell “A-Spec with Advance Package” as its own trim name on the factory order guide the way it sells A-Spec on its own — technically, Advance is a package added to an A-Spec build. In practice, dealers, listing sites, and this program’s own model catalog treat it as its own line because it’s ordered and priced as a distinct, fully-loaded combination, so that’s how this guide covers it. Whatever it’s called on a given inventory listing, the content is consistent: everything A-Spec offers (black 19-inch wheels, black exterior accents, panoramic moonroof, sport-styled bumpers) plus the full Advance Package on top.

What the Advance Package adds over plain A-Spec

The jump from A-Spec to A-Spec with Advance Package is a tech-and-luxury jump, not a styling one — the exterior looks identical to A-Spec. Inside, Advance swaps A-Spec’s leatherette-with-microsuede seating for genuine leather trim, adds a heated steering wheel, driver’s-seat memory settings, and upgrades the audio system to a 15-speaker Bang & Olufsen setup. On the technology side, it adds Google built-in and Alexa built-in on top of the standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto every ADX already has, plus a complimentary three-year data plan for the embedded connectivity, and a Multi-View surround camera system for tighter parking and low-speed maneuvering. That’s a genuinely different ownership experience day to day — hands-free Google Assistant control of navigation and cabin functions, not just a phone mirrored on the screen.

Still the same engine underneath all of it

Worth repeating because it surprises people cross-shopping trims: the fully loaded ADX makes the same 190 horsepower and 179 lb-ft as the $35,000 entry trim. Every dollar of the roughly $7,000 gap between entry and this trim (before destination and AWD) goes into wheels, seats, tech, and audio — none of it into the drivetrain. That’s a deliberate choice on Acura’s part, and it means the decision to spend up to this trim should be about whether you want the content, not about chasing more power that doesn’t exist on this model.

What buyers say about the dealership

No review yet names the Advance Package specifically — it’s the newest configuration on a model that’s barely two years old — but Frank Leta Acura’s ADX buyers across the lineup describe the same sales experience a top-trim shopper walks into. “Ryan Pennington was very helpful in getting me a new lease when I did not even know I could trade in my own lease prior to my 3 years. Love my new ADX and go see Ryan! He is wonderful!” wrote Michele Edstrom, one of several 2026 buyers naming Ryan by name across different ADX purchases. The dealership’s overall Google rating sits at 4.68 stars across more than 3,200 reviews.

Frequently asked questions

Is A-Spec with Advance Package the fastest ADX?

No ADX is faster than another — every trim, including this one, uses the identical 190-hp turbocharged engine and CVT. This trim is the most equipped ADX, not the quickest.

What’s the total price difference between the entry ADX and the fully loaded one?

$7,000 before destination and any AWD upcharge: $35,000 for the entry ADX versus $42,000 for A-Spec with Advance Package, both FWD. Add AWD to either and the gap stays $7,000 ($37,000 versus $44,000).

Does the Advance Package include AWD?

No, AWD is a separate $2,000 option on top of any trim, including this one. A-Spec with Advance Package can be ordered FWD or AWD independent of the package content.

Is the 3-year data plan actually free, or is that a promotional add-on that expires?

It’s included with the vehicle purchase on this package at no additional charge for the first three years; what happens after that window (continued subscription cost, if any) is the kind of detail that can shift with Acura’s connected-services terms, so it’s worth confirming current terms with the dealer at time of purchase rather than assuming they’re identical to what’s advertised today.

Everything the ADX offers, in one trim

If the goal is the most content Acura puts on this model — without changing the drivetrain underneath it — this is the trim. Check current A-Spec with Advance Package availability at Frank Leta Acura, and see the service & repair guide and pricing & leasing guide for what comes after the sale.
