2025 ACURA ZDX TYPE S // BETTER THAN THE CADILLAC LYRIQ?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Acura ZDX Type S, built on GM's Ultium platform, emerges as a compelling performance SUV, offering a potent blend of luxury and speed. While sharing its underpinnings with the Honda Prologue, Chevy Blazer EV, and Cadillac Lyriq, the ZDX Type S distinguishes itself with a powerful 499 hp dual-motor AWD setup and a refined, angular design language that stands out. The reviewer highlights the excellent air-ride suspension, providing a comfortable yet engaging ride, and praises the instantaneous torque delivery for spirited driving. Key advantages over its GM counterparts include the inclusion of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, the lack of a front trunk (frunk) and the slightly less efficient EPA estimated range (2.3 mi/kWh vs. 2.7 mi/kWh for the Prologue) are noted drawbacks. Despite these points, the ZDX Type S is lauded as a great luxury vehicle, offering a fun driving experience with impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds.
