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!

[@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.

[@michaelgarvin8621]

A beautiful car and nice interior 👍. But WOW! the price in Canada and no tax rebate that's expensive!! Great review guys👍👍

[@Slickpete83]

*OMG $85k CAD plus tax, all this save a few bucks on fuel, too expensive,no wonder people hate electric cars*

[@approots]

Model 3 is now just $45,000 after Fed credit.

[@Slickpete83]

@@approots *how much is the AWD version in CAD $ with federal discount, we need AWD in Canada*

[@chrisdiscodude]

​​@@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.

[@gs98999]

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!”

[@mullen25]

i love you guys. you make every review fun.

[@martink3953]

$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.

[@sk-un5jq]

I'd take this over any Tesla by far.

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@JimAllder11]

I don't like the way it looks, but everything else about it sounds sweet. Thanks for your review, Z&A. 👍

[@peterward1698]

Love your videos but constant zee instead of zed started to get a bit irritating. How does the price compare to the Lyriq?

thats because it is ZEE-DX. ZED-DX just sounds… interesting let’s just say that.😊

[@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.

[@samjam6989]

The cheap chinese EVs? They are crap tho

[@rororuminator]

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

[@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!

[@calvinrichardson3562]

I love the chrome strip, it sets it apart from all the other cars with no style. You can always get it painted black if that’s your preference.

[@jacc9061]

Nice guys! Helpful. I like the power and the credits here in the states could make it a lot of car for the price. I wonder how it works if it’s below 0 Fahrenheit.

[@Kered-9]

For $90k I'm going to get a hybrid Tucson and a 2nd vehicle.

[@gladdy02]

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

[@bcwrangler]

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

[@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!

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Another GM Ultium partnership mistake. Why do they do this to themselves? Develop your own EV that isn't years behind like Ultium platform is. Acura/Honda do better than this.

[@stevenstewart1308]

It's cheaper to buy an already made platform that someone else paid millions to develop than develop your own, especially since this is nothing more than a government forced compliance car. Plus it buys you more time to develop your own platform.

Honda was late to the EV game, and they have stayed late. Talking about just EVs alone, Tesla is still WAY ahead in terms of technological prowess. Not talking about EVs, the market has shifted firmly in favour of hybrids, and on that front Honda is still WAY behind.

Those two behind means their gas side is not behind, and the gas side is very attractive to 50% of the consumers.

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.

[@daveladd5614]

$90k???? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hilarious.

[@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.

[@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...
