ACURA JUST KILLED ANOTHER MODEL

EV Channels Review

Acura has officially discontinued the ZDX after only one model year, a decision driven by market conditions, the end of EV tax credits, and a strategic shift away from its partnership with General Motors. The ZDX, built on GM's Ultium platform, was always considered a stop-gap measure. While it outsold previous ZDX and SLX models, its sales figures were not enough to justify its continuation. The brand is now looking towards the all-electric RSX, slated for a late 2026 release, and is also developing hybrid electric models. The reviewer expresses no sadness over the ZDX's demise, viewing it as a necessary step for Acura's future, though he laments the discontinuation of models like the TLX and NSX. The current sales landscape for Acura is dominated by the ADX, while core models like the MDX and RDX are experiencing sales declines.
