2024 ACURA ZDX TYPE S - POV FIRST DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Acura ZDX Type S offers a potent blend of performance and luxury, but its high $75,000 starting price presents a significant value proposition challenge. While the Type S boasts impressive Brembo brakes, 499 horsepower, and a comfortable, spacious interior with advanced features like Super Cruise, it shares its platform with less expensive GM vehicles, leading to a somewhat confused interior identity. The reviewer notes that despite its power, the ZDX Type S doesn't feel "blisteringly fast" compared to other EVs, and its weight is noticeable. Road tripping is deemed less ideal due to charging speed and efficiency concerns. Ultimately, while it handles well and offers a sportier experience than its platform mates, its steep price and the availability of more compelling value options like the Prologue or a used Cadillac Lyriq leave the ZDX Type S in a tricky, niche position.
