Acura is ready to enter the electric vehicle market with its first all-electric SUV, the 2024 Acura ZDX. The ZDX is a sleek and sporty crossover that combines electrified performance, elevated design, and exhilarating power to provide an intuitive, driver-focused experience. The ZDX will also offer a high-performance variant, the ZDX Type S, which will deliver an estimated 500 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of under five seconds. Both models are expected to arrive in early 2024, with an anticipated range rating of 325 miles for the ZDX and 288 miles for the ZDX Type S.
What Makes the ZDX and ZDX Type S Stand Out?
The ZDX and ZDX Type S are not just ordinary electric vehicles. They result from meticulous craftsmanship and engineering by the Acura Design Studio and Acura engineers, who were inspired by the Acura Precision EV Concept that debuted in 2019. The ZDX and ZDX Type S feature many of the design themes previewed by the concept, such as:
- A dramatic illuminated evolution of the Diamond Pentagon grille
- A low and wide stance with a coupe-like roofline and muscular fenders
- A spacious and luxurious cabin with a panoramic glass roof and ambient lighting
- A high-resolution 11-inch Precision Cockpit Digital Instrument Cluster and 11.3-inch Color Touchscreen that can be customized for a more personal connection with the vehicle
- A premium audio system by Bang & Olufsen, a Danish luxury audio brand that makes its Acura premiere in the ZDX and ZDX Type S
- A range of advanced driver-assist and safety features, such as AcuraWatch, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), and AcuraLink
The ZDX and ZDX Type S also feature the first integration of Google built-in for Acura, providing a connected and personalized driving experience. Google built-in includes an enhanced version of Google Maps for EV drivers, which can optimize route plans for recharging, find charging stations along the route, and estimate charging times required to reach the destination. The ZDX and ZDX Type S also support Google Assistant, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a wireless smartphone charger.
How Much Will the ZDX and ZDX Type S Cost?
The ZDX and ZDX Type S are expected to be priced in the $60,000 and $70,000 range, respectively. This makes them competitive with other luxury electric SUVs in the market, such as the Tesla Model Y, the Audi e-tron, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge. Here is a comparison table of some of the key features and specifications of these models:
| Model | Starting Price | Range | Horsepower | 0-60 mph |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acura ZDX | $60,000 | 325 miles | 400 hp | 5.5 seconds |
| Acura ZDX Type S | $70,000 | 288 miles | 500 hp | 4.8 seconds |
