Edmunds small luxury SUV test: 2025 Acura ADX vs 2025 BMW X1
The 2025 Acura ADX is all-new this year, and it takes its place as Acura's smallest and least expensive crossover SUV. If you think Acura's RDX or MDX are too big or too expensive, the entry-level ADX could very well satisfy. Among many rivals the ADX faces, one of the most well-established models is the 2025 BMW X1. The X1 arrived in BMW dealerships more than a decade ago, and BMW released this latest third-generation X1 for the 2023 model year. Similar to how Acura positions the ADX, the X1 is the entry point to BMW's extensive lineup of SUVs. The ADX and X1 each have seating for five and city-friendly dimensions. But there are differences in price, features and how each drives. Edmunds' team of experts tested them to find out which pint-size SUV is the better buy. Engines and fuel economy The ADX has a 190-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired to a continuously variable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Unfortunately, Edmunds found the ADX lacks the refined dynamics found in other Acura vehicles, particularly regarding acceleration. The ADX needed 9.4 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph during Edmunds' testing. This is much slower than nearly all direct rivals, including the spry X1. In comparison, the BMW X1 delivers more of the premium driving feel expected in a luxury vehicle. A turbocharged four-cylinder produces 241 horsepower in the entry-level xDrive28i model or 341 horsepower in the zesty M35i. Each is fitted to a seven-speed automatic transmission and, unlike the ADX, all-wheel drive is standard. Edmunds found its xDrive28i test vehicle needed only 5.9 seconds for the same sprint to 60 mph. That's a difference you'll feel whenever you need to get up to speed on the highway or desire a burst of power to pass a slow-moving car. Fuel economy is a bragging point of both SUVs. The ADX and X1 xDrive28i each offer an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined city/highway — this dips to 27 mpg when the ADX is fitted with all-wheel drive. Winner: BMW X1 Features and value On price alone, the ADX appears the clear winner. It starts at $36,350 including destination charges. That's thousands less than the X1's entry-level price of $42,525. Standard features in the ADX include synthetic leather upholstery, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless device charging, and ambient LED interior lighting. It also comes packed with an impressive roster of driver aids, such as blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance. While the X1 is more expensive, it does get all-wheel drive as standard and not an extra-cost option like it is on the ADX. The racy M35i delivers plenty of punch, though it comes with a price — specifically one starting north of $50,000. Similar to its Acura rival, the X1 is nicely equipped with tech features like a digital instrument display, a 10.2-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone connectivity. The X1 doesn't come with as many standard driver aids, though it does offer a few extra ones that can't get on an ADX at all. Winner: tie Comfort and utility Edmunds experts found the front seats in the ADX A-Spec Advance test vehicle comfortable, highly adjustable, and wrapped in quality leather upholstery. In comparison, the optional M Sport front seats of Edmunds' X1 test vehicle proved great at holding you in place during quick cornering but possibly too firm for ensuring comfort on long drives. The same held true for the X1's sport-tuned suspension; Edmunds suggests choosing standard seat and suspension settings to boost the X1's comfort levels. Both come standard with heated front seats, but only the ADX has available ventilated seats to help you stay cool on hot days. In the X1's favor is its quiet cabin. The ADX, in contrast, lets in a lot of wind and road noise when you're driving on the highway. Both of these SUVs are respectably roomy. The X1 has more overall headroom front and rear, though the ADX fights back with a small edge in rear legroom. Cargo space is another near tie — the ADX provides up to 24.4 cubic feet of storage compared to 25.7 cubic feet with the X1. This is a close category, but the X1 has enough of an advantage to give it the edge. Winner: BMW X1 Edmunds says The Acura ADX will appeal to you if you're looking for a small crossover SUV that's attractively priced. But it also doesn't do much to differentiate itself from a field full of more accomplished rivals. Overall, Edmunds recommends the X1. It's enjoyable to drive and pleasingly luxurious while still being practical. ____________ This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds.

The U.S. EV fast-charging network is seeing explosive growth—despite Trump's policies
In 2024, the U.S. added nearly 12,500 new DC fast EV chargers to the national public network. Fast chargers can get an EV to an 80% charge in less than an hour, an appealing option to drivers with range anxiety, or those who can't install EV chargers at their homes. It was a landmark accomplishment bolstered by Biden Administration initiatives, including the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. But in 2025, the country is on pace to install even more fast-charging ports—despite Trump's attacks on EVs and their infrastructure. The deployment of fast EV chargers is 'on a record pace in 2025,' according to a new report from EV charging analytics company Paren. Their latest analysis forecasts that 16,700 fast-charging ports will open across the country this year—up more than 25% from last year, and 2.5 times as many ports as opened in 2022. In the second quarter of 2025 alone, the country added more than 4,000 fast ports to its EV charging network, a more than 23% increase from the first quarter. One EV charging station can have multiple ports, so while new station openings were also up, it was by a smaller amount: the U.S. opened 784 new EV charging stations in the second quarter of 2025, up from 738. New EV charging stations are typically opening with 8, 10, 12, or more charging ports. The number of new EV chargers seem surprising given how Trump has taken aim at EV programs since he took office earlier this year. On his first day in office he wrote in an executive order that he was ending the 'EV mandate,' and since he has killed the EV tax credit as well as paused NEVI funding, cutting off millions of dollars for EV chargers. At the end of June, months after Trump's NEVI pause in February, court rulings lifted that freeze—but some EV charger startups had already been hurt by the move. According to Paren, though, NEVI funding would have accounted for just 2% to 3% of the new DC fast-charger ports in 2025. (NEVI funding also goes to Level 2 EV chargers, which get an EV to 80% in about 4 to 10 hours, and which in 2024 made up the majority of newly installed EV charging infrastructure.) When it comes to fast chargers, private companies have stepped in to fund the space. Paren calls these 'Charging 2.0' companies, and points to Ionna, Mercedes-Benz High Power Charging, BP Pulse, and Walmart as examples as businesses that have increased their fast-charger deployments. Those companies have brought EV charging to places like Starbucks and Waffle House, modifying the idea of what it looks like to refuel your vehicle. Tesla has long been one of the dominant fast-charger companies, but when its Supercharger team saw layoffs last April, that slowed down its pace. Since the fall, it's been back on track for deployments, but Paren notes that its overall share of the fast-charging space has declined. Between 2013 and 2017, Tesla accounted for 85% to 98% of new DC fast-charger ports that opened, but in Q2 of 2025, Tesla accounted for just 40% of new fast-charging ports. Paren estimates Tesla will open just 6,000 ports in 2025, bringing its share further down to 36%. If the amount of fast EV charging ports stays on the record pace for all of 2025, then the U.S. could have more than 100,000 fast-charging ports by 2027. That'll be necessary to support growing EV sales. Even as Trump tries to curtail the industry, and as Tesla loses marketshare, EV sales—both new and used —are up so far this year.
