Happy Thursday everyone! The wait to find out how the new Acura ZDX Type S drives is finally over and we’re happy to say it feels noticeably sportier with a different character versus the Lyriq AWD we tested a couple months ago! We should be driving an A-Spec version as well later this summer! Stay tuned 😊

Another excellent review. My Polestar 2 lease is up shortly, so I am interested in your advice: for someone who does primarily regular daily driving and also commuting on highways, would you get this Type S ZDX or go with the Lyriq AWD?

Even the Chevrolet Blazer EV looks better than this, which is the model that’s actually Chevrolet’s work.

The biggest problem with the Acura ZDX is that the MDX exists. The ZDX is a 2 row EV with less cargo space and fewer seats than the MDX, but being sold at a price higher than the MDX A-spec. It's like a larger RDX made into an EV. Granted, I am more comfortable driving the ZDX than the RDX or MDX, but the target audience doesn't want to be hassled with recharging at public charging stations and would just as quickly take an RDX A-spec or MDX A-spec and pocket the difference. I own the Cadillac Lyriq AWD Luxury 3. In every way it's better than the ZDX. It looks better, has better materials inside and is more likely to turn heads. I also have massage seats. The ZDX A-spec lacks massage seats and GM Supercruise. You'll need the S-type to get the autonomous driving. You're spending $75k and not getting an interior as nice as the Lyriq's. The 490HP AWD helps make this a fun vehicle and the available air suspension makes the ride smoother on the 22" wheels, but the interior buttons, switches and display screens look sadly cheap. Maybe even cheaper than what you find in the Chevy Blazer EV (another Ultium sister). You're basically getting a guzzied up Honda Prologue. I think these cars are going to need considerable discounts to sell, but in their defense, they are more comfortable and livable products than the Tesla Model X, Model S or many other Luxury EV that cost way more. MDX is going to outsell ZDX with ease.

I agree, the Cadillac did have a quality issue on the lower dash, but that looked one off. You can’t praise the interior quality of the Acura and harp on the Cadillac when the two vehicles are built in the same building by the same employees. Also, the stitching on the passenger side of Acura’s center console lid to the center console itself doesn’t line up at all 18:15. I’m very excited for both vehicles, but I don’t think it’s fair to only point out the flaws on one vehicle and not the other. However, no vehicle is ever perfect

Tempted to do a drinking game every time Sofyan made a GM reference but I’d have been passed-out drunk in 90 seconds. This design is compellingly handsome (as is the Prologue). They REALLY nailed this design. That said, can we talking about the recently updated 2025 MDX (MMC)? I mean, that must keep other manufacturers up at night how well-sorted and appealing that vehicle is. Acura dealers have to be thrilled - the MDX & ZDX are segment-leading good.

As an owner of many Honda and Acura vehicles, most recently 2023 RDX A-Spec (one of the finest releases in their history)... the ZDX interior looks nothing like a true Acura design. For those (Acura owners) who appreciate fit and finish and a clean design, the GM and Cadillac brand falls way short of that quality bar. No thanks, will wait for Honda to design a real "Acura" full-electric luxury SUV that can proudly carry the Acura logo. I can only recall the time when Acura entered the SUV market in mid-90s and tried to re-badge an Isuzu for that first generation SLX -- big disaster!

Lol, luxury vehicles back then didn’t even have 10+ inch screen, didn’t have digital gauge cluster, didn’t have messing seats, not even have CarPlay? Even a mainstream vehicles nowadays have more tech than old luxury vehicles 😂, If you really like the old luxury, did you buy one? I bet it’s pretty cheap.

@@blackwhirlwind1245 I have many of those features in my 2017 GTI and it's not luxury and is the base model. In any case, these tech upgrades are not worth the crazy price increases over the recent years. I have to pay $5000 - $10k more for the same type of vehicle because it has a 10" screen or some fancy seats that I really don't need, I'd rather have a little older tech, reliability and more reasonable prices.

I like the accurate styling that I wish they had more to differentiate themselves from GM. Using their platform is one thing, but to use their key, switchgear, gearshift, infotainment, that all makes me feel like I’m not in a Acura. Other than that I love what they did. If I were to buy an Acura EV, I’d wait until they make one more of their own bc it’s missing some of that Acura character.

So GM wanted room for 19.2kW charger, but Acura only offers the lesser… SO WHY WOULD I BUY THIS. The interior had better be 10x better or there’s literally no point in buying the Honda or Acura name badge. Car companies rebadging other car companies cars is monumentally stupid and disingenuous for their customers.

This doesn’t look any more premium inside than the Chevy Blazer EV, for $20k more. And there’s A LOT of GM switchgear in there. Doesn’t matter. The ZDX and the Honda Prologue are orphans anyway, since Honda has moved on to other partners for future EVs.

Acura missed the opportunity to make a ZDX SUV coupe now the world has warmed up to SUV coupes. Back then people thought it was ridiculous even the X6 did well enough to have received a 2nd and 3rd generation. They really should make a new X6 competitor but instead we get the GM vehicle.

As much as I’m not a fan of crossover “coupes” this would have looked better with a more slopes rear hatch. All the black painted bodywork above the chrome trim makes the rear look bulky, not to mention the hearse effect. This is one area the Aspec will look bette than the Type-S.

I don’t mind “rebadge engineering” if the platform/parts borrowed are from quality brands. Honda and Acura have a better reputation for building better vehicles than GM even with all their quirks they have had in recent years. I feel like this will bring them down. Same thing with Toyota using a BMW platform/engine etc for the Supra. I feel like that will bring them down too. But as far as the ignition/door chime, it sounds way better than the old GM chime. It’s not as loud and sounds more calmer.

At least it’s a step in the right direction.Acura has done nothing to provide eco-friendly vehicles in the lineup. But, the design cues are off and looks like little effort put. It looks like a hearse in this color with the C pillar, the front is so uninspired. I predict middle of the road sales for this car.
