2024 Acura ZDX review // Very well done but the price! Acura's first EV.

[@Ryan-cf6lc]

“but the price” is the theme for the automotive industry for 2024.

[@cbotten106]

An ongoing theme from the past half decade. Average transaction prices are actually down for this year thus far.

[@michaelmejia3822]

The chrome strip does make it look like a hearse.

[@Sophisticatedduck-po4lp]

lol

[@paul5683]

That's an Acura thing. The RDX and MDX both have that chrome strip.

[@trumpisastump9382]

a $10 can of black plastic coat solves that issue.

[@danhall3450]

Absolutely! That was my 1st thought!

[@akhillz]

price is crazy

[@witsendcottage595]

Looks like a hearse with that roof trim.

[@kenfrankel3498]

Good observation. It really DOES look like a hearse!

[@CleeshoeArt]

It does 😅😅😅

[@simarpreet911]

Damn, can't unsee now. This is awful lol.

[@danhoussar7325]

That's what I was thinking hearse that chrome stripe . $$$ cost for a Chevrolet. The dealer better rust proof it will be seating on the lot for a long time. 😞

[@dextersmithbsee]

It does look like a hearse at the rear! That's exactly what I said. I'd stay away from this vehicle just for that reason.

[@cdnstache]

Your electric hearse has arrived! This is sure to match the sales figures of the original ZDX. “But hey! Did we mention it has a Type S badge!”

[@kellingtonlink956]

The price ($91,000 CAD) is absolutely ludicrous! The only Acura that is worth that kinda money, has the letters … NSX on the rear bumper (there are currently three available in Canada for that kind of money). Yes, it’d be used. Yes, it’d have some mileage. Yes, it’s not an EV. But … you’d be the coolest person you know, it would demonstrate to people that you are truly passionate about cars… and perhaps most importantly… you wouldn’t LOSE half your investment in UNDER a Year! Yes… possibly 50%!! Smart money, and for those with passion… it is a no-brainer. Thanks for the video.

[@sugarhog1938]

Hahah this is cheap compared to the audi evs. The q4 etron which is their cheapest ev is 106k while the q8 etron is 160. Q6 etron going to be 150k. Acura don’t even compare with luxury cars, stay in ur brokie affordable lane. (I drive a 2024 cayenne s hybrid pebble grey and a 2022 m5 comp matte black profile picture)

​​@@Slickpete83The model 3 base rwd starts at 53k before tax and rebate. The long range AWD is 63k before tax and rebate. The rebate is applied after tax, so you'll have to calculate that based on your location. Also you don't need AWD in Canada. A good set of snow tires is what matters the most.

[@midlifemom5829]

Im in S. California. Test drove this few days ago. Our dealer had great promo (also Costco) . Felt too big and heavy for my taste. Felt like driving a boat. It was smooth and quiet driving tho. I did appreciate that the interior felt like a trad'l car and not a sterile lab. Agree with the hearse strip vibe.

[@shopwithaaron]

Dash looks like an economy car w/big screens! Will Acura ever get the interior right??? Thx you 2!

[@billbill6886]

[@KeithHowells]

Price is crazy for sure. Chrome Delete all the trim should be blacked out. 22” tires? 18-20” are not sufficient? Mileage will certainly suffer. Does this have One pedal driving?

[@SplittingVoices]

Same here. Hearse was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that chrome trim.

[@mullen25]

i love you guys. you make every review fun.

Beautiful Area!. Great review!

[@rororuminator]

I was exited about the Acura since I own an older one, but the Price is instane! Good luck, Acura.

[@clintonsmurf6496]

Expensive wagon hearse. Should have folded seats down and checked if casket would fit. It’s a one and done as you said, but seems to just meet regulations for Acura to have an EV. Not serious into EV until their later models. There are way too many other options for that price for a car that will already be discontinued. I’m not an Acura basher as I own an Acura rsx type S that has been an absolute workhorse and super reliable. I was hoping they’d bring out a hybrid and stay with the brand but doesn’t look like that will happen

[@cbotten106]

Nice positive review of what I consider a very attractive product. Let's hope the GM bones don't undermine Acura's customers confidence in the brand going forward. People buying these should be aware of what is under the skin. Hold on tight Andrea that man has a devilish glint in his eyes. The GV70 Electric could have been a "consider" too.

[@canmen7016]

Is the black roof trim the funeral parlour special?

[@davekroh5166]

My sister who is living in Thailand, just sent me a picture of her going for a ride in a fully electric regular 4 door car. Good enough range to spend the entire day working as a taxi. Selling price about $15,000 CAD / $11,0000 USD. It’s only a matter of time until those vehicles come to North America America. Even with a 100% tariff, which would be illegal under WTO rules, current sellers have no chance of competing.

The cheap chinese EVs? They are crap tho

$87K starting price in Canada 😂😂😂. No wonder people are turned off by EV's and sales are slow. What were they thinking. Also that interior is horrendous for the price point.

[@caseybeason1471]

Looks like it has the control on the side of the seats for massaging. No way to access from the infotainment on gm products (cant speak for acura) but the outer ring on the lumbar should allow you to control seat massagers.

[@genericreference6969]

And why would you choose this over the Lyriq? Air suspension is not enough especially as it is only on the Type S.

[@macvancouverufo]

INSANE price. Makes No sense to spend almost $100,000 bc society says the price of gas is too high. Not to mention you'll probably have to spend another $10,000 at least, in the future for a new battery. No thanks...easy pass for me. Next...

[@ddrennon]

+1 on the hearse look. Dare I say the the styling puts a grave burden on the consumer.

[@timothyburnside3229]

$75000 in USA is just too much for an Acura! Since you have to spend to upgrade charging as well, to many other brands that offer more proven results but it is nice looking and Honda reliability is legendary!

[@gladdy02]

Acura....just give a hybrid RDX or MDX please.

[@slapstra1970]

It does resemble a hearse!

[@genzigzag]

WTF, $91k+ taxes CAD for a rebadged Chevy EV! Clearly its for compliance, maybe a 2 or 3 MY vehicle at best. If you're really in love with it, lease and make damn sure you get a 0% and high residual because it won't be worth much after its axed!

[@genericreference6969]

Not just looks better - is better. For less.

[@wenjiehe8305]

But no EVs are good.

[@ab348]

It’s nice enough for what it is but ridiculously overpriced. I suspect Acura isn’t interested in selling many of these as it is a compliance car. Two other criticisms: since they will only sell a handful of these I don’t understand why Canada gets stuck with just a black interior when the USA gets better choices. Also, the design of the interior and dash doesn’t look as special as a $100K car should. It looks very conventional and a lot like every other Honda product. Disappointing.

[@mileitman]

Gotta love the ZeeeeeDX

[@bcwrangler]

That chrome strip on the side and around the "grill" has to go, otherwise it looks like it is a great luxury EV.

prediction... this will be a massive flop

Cadillac Lyriq sold 9154 units in 2023, January -March 2024 has sold 5800 units. So Cadillac with the same platform will if projections hold will sell 23000 units plus. It will probably be less of a flop than the CyberRustBucket.

[@Chiroman527]

Guys, I guess you are being forced to review these EVs ! What is wrong with Acura??? They had an excellent product from 2018 -2020 (3 years) in a MDX Sport Hybrid!! They should have revived that technology , with new enhancements, in the new MDX Redesign. I own a 22 MDX Advance, which is a terrific Vehicle. Yes, a bit pricey, but compared to the other Luxury Brands for what you get in the fully loaded models, it is actually a Bargain. For about $2K more, Acura could have produced a new Sport Hybrid version which would have been a Complete No-Brainer. Using the same Type S engine , 3.0L enhanced with small electric motors, which provide more HP & Torque than the non Type S (like mine) , 20% better MPGs !, and would have been the same Redesigned MDX not requiring any changes. This MDZ EV will be a Enormous Flop, IMHO.
