Yep, a large EV with 22" non-aero wheels (needed to cover those ridiculously-oversized brakes), huge expensive summer tires, long hood with no frunk, adaptive air with the big air tank where storage should be, etc. This car was designed for those who just want to show off to their friends (and their friends just think they are morons). Of course, with this funereal-like vehicle, you could pick up some extra spending money moonlighting as a resurrectionist.

Take the ZDX over the Model Y or the Genesis GV70? Absolutely yes! The air suspension option alone puts the ZDX a full notch above both. Not knowing how the air suspension dampers the ride (or doesn't) and how far it can (or can't) travel up and down doesn't take away anything from those who want an air suspension period. Both the GV70 and Model Y don't offer an air suspension at all even at this price point which is, for a buyer, completely a deal breaker in my opinion. Physical controls, manual air vents, HUD plus instrument cluster, Android Auto, and a normal driving experience overall are all huge pluses in my book. Looking forwarding to the drive section review and especially more details on the ride and air suspension for the ZDX.

Some of the competition that don't qualify for the tax credit are giving you $7500 cash off anyway just to remain competitive. Also, it's assembled at GM's Spring Hill Tennessee plant along withe the Cadillac Lyric. The Chevrolet Blazer and the Honda Prologue are assembled at GM's Ramos Arizpe Mexico plant. I'm sure Honda/Acura had lots of inputs into interior materials and the required front end exterior design to give the brands their respective 'look', but 95% of all the hard design points are shared between the four vehicles. IMO, all four vehicles look good.
@Swiggityswagger

What's with all of the leaks underneath, especially on the left hand side? Just fast forward until you can see the left hand side. Time to tighten things up.

What’s with so many people wanting to make this flop a *gm* issue? Uhhh too many folks aren’t paying attention here to what’s going on. Honda, much like Toyota, went the cheap route by piggybacking off of *gm’s* investments into electrification and phoned in the design of their first fully electric vehicles. *gm* saved their butts with models like the Prologue because Honda didn’t have to do much of anything to it in order for it to be a great car. The luxury segment is a bit different and this vehicle truly exposes Acura’s weak effortless attempt to make this a luxury SUV. *gm* handed them the tools they needed for a winner and they fumbled the ball. Now I see why Honda backed out of the deal last minute, they probably thought they could do what Toyota does which is ride the brand perception wave and come out on top but it’s not looking too good for them right now.

Too much conjecture here. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid. Fact: Toyota is doing just fine and is predicted to be in a healthier position in the long run. I think they know what they’re doing.

@@havok3344 this is not about Toyota. Just say you’re a Toyota fanboy and leave it there. Your feelings are the ones that are getting in the way. As far as EVs go, no Toyota is not in a good place. If you’re talking about hybrids, maybe. Unfortunately for Toyota we’re talking about EVs and like the rest of the Japanese, they are dropping the ball and falling behind. They would have to pull a Honda and build their EVs off someone else’s great EV platform because they just haven’t invested enough into the tech themselves.

Honda is opening a new ev factory in Canada to make their own evs. Toyota is also building new battery factories with the Highlander EV being the first model from it. The Chevy Bolt was mostly an LG auto not a GM vehicle but gm eventually made their own ev platforms

Interior is a joke compared to a Lyriq. Acura must’ve thought adding air suspension to a platform that doesn’t need it means they can jack the prices up over a Prologue and call it a luxury SUV. Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

WHat does that have to do with this vehicle? People who want to own an EV in the next 3 years cant really do much with that information. And when their stuff does come out its only going to put them in the game, its not like they will be leapfrogging GM/Hyundai/Ford

@@shethjones4494 no one is leapfrogging anyone. Tesla used to be a generation ahead of everyone with the model S and X. Shortly after the Y came out others have closed the gap considerably and it will likely be surpassed within the next 6-12months. Honda's new plant will obviously set a minimum goal to be better than shared gm platform cars they are using. Will it be an order of magnitude better, no way it will be a few percent better here and there

@@JD-yx7be You can bet most of those batteries will be used for hybrids. As for EVs, by that time EVs may have already caused companies to go out of business. There has to be a business case to support their EV production as both Ford and GM found out, regardless of the Federal mandates (which they already back-pedaled on).

I am in the market to get EV. I already have Acura MDX for long trips, so not planning to use new one for long trips. I also have reservation for ZDX. Now i am thinking whether it is good decision to buy this one over Tesla model Y. I dont like build quality of Tesla. But there is 20K price difference between Model Y and ZDX A spec which is lot for a car to use only within city. Also worried about GM quality as i am hearing lot of software issue about Lyriq which is identical to ZDX. Any suggestions to help me to choose between ZDX RWD vs Model Y? @Alex

Hate the detached screens. Needs one long one like the Lyriq. When they are split like this, reminds me of a “rushed job,” and that no one in production, or assembly were actually thinking.

If they're sharing this much with GM, my concern is that Acura is selling GM quality and not Acura quality. IF this is just a stop/gap solution for Honda/Acura until they can come to market with their own EV, I would also be concerned about how much support Honda will provide to ZDX/Prologue customers.

That’s because it is slapped in by Honda. The *gm* products don’t have that canister because they don’t use air suspension, neither do they need it for class leading ride quality. I’m not sure what Acura is trying to do here, appear to be more premium although this actually is not?

I am not an EV person per se but this is a gorgeous car. The sitting position is definitely suited for an over 6”0 person. I dated a girl who drove the gas version before it went out of production and it was quite an impressive car. I am tempted to get one especially with the tax credit.
