2024 ACURA ZDX TYPE S REVIEW - MOST POWERFUL ACURA EVER

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Acura ZDX Type S is presented as the most powerful Acura ever, boasting 499 horsepower and 544 lb-ft of torque. Reviewers highlight its significantly improved interior materials and quieter cabin compared to the Honda Prologue, and praise its sleek design, particularly the two-tone paint and yellow Brembo calipers. The adaptive air suspension is noted as a standout feature, effectively masking the vehicle's weight and providing a more refined ride than its GM-based counterparts. Key advantages over the Chevrolet Blazer SS include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a more appealing aesthetic. While the official range is up to 447 km (278 miles) for the Type S, the reviewers suggest the non-Type S or RWD variants offer more. Charging speed is rated at up to 190 kW, which is decent but not class-leading. The infotainment system, featuring Google built-in, is functional, though some integration quirks with Apple CarPlay are noted. Despite the high $91,490 CAD price point, the ZDX Type S is recommended for its driving dynamics, premium feel, and superior tech integration over the Blazer SS, especially for those prioritizing Apple CarPlay.
