Acura is bringing a few new special models to its lineup called the Urban Spec.
Some automakers roll out a new, special edition model about every 30 minutes, it seems. Acura doesn’t do that too often (though it’s not unprecedented), but it is making a new exception here. Three new Urban Spec models made their debut on Tuesday, based around the brand’s existing ADX, Integra and MDX models. Before they go on sale, all three cars will make their first public appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show later on November 19.
So, what exactly do you get with the Urban Spec? Effectively, each car brings a similar look to its respective lineup, give or take a few minor tweaks. Being the Urban Spec, you get Urban Gray paint for a start. Black wheels (ranging between 18 inches for the Integra to 19-in. for the ADX and 20-in. for the MDX) come standard here, as do brake wheel lugs, door handles, radio antenna, badging and the interiors. The MDX gets a bit more black trim on the bumpers and the wheel wells, for its part.
Under the hood, all three Urban Spec cars retain their respective entry level powertrains. That means the ADX and Integra get a 1.5-liter engine and CVT, while the MDX gets a 3.5-liter V6. The ADX and MDX, as SUVs, are available with all-wheel drive, even if you decide to get the Urban Spec.
Acura says each limited-run trim runs $1,500 above and beyond the respective model’s MSRP. That should mean right around $36,000 for the Integra Urban Spec (with destination, give or take a couple hundred bucks), $37K or so for the ADX Urban Spec, or $55K for the MDX Urban Spec. The automaker has not released exact Model Year 2027 pricing yet, nor did it specify how many examples of each Urban Spec will be available to buy. So, it will be a limited edition, but we don’t know how limited it will be just yet.
