I can't believe other people see the same as me. Hearse vibe

[@user-do9ir8lv2m]

umm get your eyes checked, it does NOT look like a hears troll

[@YankeeMav]

I don't see it here tbh but I know the feeling. The original Cadillac...their first crossover w/e it was called...I never un-saw it. And that comment doesn't make you a troll. Weird comment from an account that's a barcode.

[@therodfather916]

I see the hearse! Do away with the chrome and the final resting place vibe disappears. Too bad they didn't go with the larger battery, 42 minutes is slow.

[@joeshmooo5327]

Its the metal trim they have running from the back toward the front. That looks like a hearse

Everyone knocks that this is a rebadged Chevy but people don’t understand GM’s Ultim platform is top of the class. Hence why 8 other brands want in on the patent. Also, Honda Motors said they would not partner with GM if it was going to compromise reliability. Honda even did their own in house testing.

[@TheMW2informer]

Exactly, it just ‘ughh gm bad’ without actually looking into the car and the particulars.

[@lifeisgood12341]

This isn't 90s gm, this is modern EV GM and if they keep up the effort they will be the best American EV maker.

The interior could of been done better

Drove one yesterday and exceeded expectations all round. Very nice job by Acura and quality as expected by Honda. Good handling, brakes and performance, bit expensive but worth it.

[@mboiko]

As many have said here, the black roof color/design reminds me of a Hearse.

I was thinking trailblazer

[@user-tg8do2kr4v]

Awesome, looks great

[@skyoung419z]

The Munsters would look fantastic in this vehicle.

[@tbecon]

Why this over the lyriq? The only distinguishing factor seems to be design and the dealership experience. I like that they get gm’s supercruise. Good review, you always do a great job covering the features and overall feel.

[@bhmbill]

ZDX has a rear wiper, HUD and B&O sound sutem which the Lyriq does not.

Not a big Honda/ Acura guy or an EV guy but that hood is sexy. Looks like an old impala or something.

It almost does everything correctly. Almost. But that’s a hard sell with other vehicles in that price range.

The Cadillac Lyric has a much better interior.

You dont "need" AWD in Colorado, a good set of winter tires and driving for the conditions is all you really need.

[@tarfeef101]

Honestly

[@josephpiskac2781]

Great if you can afford one. The cargo area not being flat and the rear seats flying forward is alarming. What if kids push the button do they get crushed?

[@ElegalvicnLa]

How come some of those angles it looks like a coffin ⚰️ Is it just me ? From bottom of window up doesn’t do it for me Doesn’t look like a Acura

[@RedRyz3n]

Giving Tesla’s fiascos with mass layoffs especially towards the supercharger department I don’t think it’s wise to invest in an EV until the government creates a true standard that’s not owned by any one company.

[@user-do9ir8lv2m]

Looks awesome, best in class by far and will sell like hotcakes

[@macbfac7312]

Hmmmmm giving that hearse vibe...Yikes

Do you have review of regular ZDX. Majority buyers dont care about this much performance. Speed is not everything

[@laloajuria4678]

you mean just the RWD? its the same, just slower.

22 inch tires! I couldn't afford to replace them.

That side profile, especially the rear quarter, just reminds me of a hearse. And I say that not as a compliment. They should have dumped that stupid chrome strip and how it drops down in a way that doesn’t match the actual bodywork. I get that they were forced to deal with GM’s platform and basic bodywork, but it just isn’t a good look.

[@daneharris2242]

[@metrocdengineering]

Another disappointing ZDX. Does not compete well. Heavy, middling charge speed, and kind of ugly like most Acuras. I’ve owned Honda and Acura going back to my 1989 CRX Si, 1989 Accord, and 1994 Acura Integra. Those cars were great. This is not.

[@GS-sm3jo]

Complete GM made POS. This is the beginning of the end of Honda.

[@milkovas556]

"Acura still has hands on a lot of parts --..... the seats and cup 🥤 holders" . Shame that's engineering from GM

[@mumwifeteacher]

Just get a Tahoe same key and balls to back it up.

[@DrakeRichter]

Not sure what you mean? The 6.2L Tahoe RST has less hp and torque at a similar weight, and will lose every time. I dislike the Acura interior, but the GM power train underneath is solid. The Blazer EV SS will be even faster than this if speed and acceleration are your thing, and GM did a way better job on their interiors.

[@user-do9ir8lv2m]

no

[@TheMW2informer]

W answer, having extra power above 300hp or equivalent is not too useful on the street and the experience in the V8 Tahoe is better.

[@DrakeRichter]

@@TheMW2informer Agree with the horsepower not being useful, hard disagree on the rest. Having driven both the 2024 Tahoe and Blazer EV.

Underneath it’s still just a GM car with a battery that takes forever to charge. Hard to believe Honda would put their body on this.
