2024 ACURA ZDX REVIEW: A DECENT ACURA, BUT NO TYPE S

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Acura ZDX marks Acura's entry into the all-electric SUV segment, sharing its platform with the Cadillac Lyriq and Chevrolet Blazer EV. While it boasts striking Acura design elements and a comfortable, well-appointed interior featuring GM's excellent Google OS infotainment and Super Cruise driver assist, the ZDX falls short of its Type S performance badge. The reviewer highlights significant weight (over 6,000 lbs) that compromises the driving dynamics, leading to noticeable understeer and a lack of the engaging steering feel expected from an Acura Type S. Despite its straight-line quickness and comfortable ride, the ZDX's performance is deemed a disappointment, especially considering its premium price point. The interior, while pleasant, uses materials that are a step down from other top Acura models. Ultimately, the ZDX is considered a decent EV SUV but fails to deliver the distinct Acura Type S experience, making it a questionable proposition for loyal Acura customers.
