OFFICIAL ACURA'S ZDX TYPE S JUST DESTROYED MOST LUXURY EVS

EV Channels Review

Acura's new ZDX marks a significant entry into the electric SUV market, particularly with its Type S variant. The reviewer praises the vehicle's striking design, which successfully carries over the Precision EV concept's styling, and highlights the impressive performance figures, with the Type S boasting an estimated 500 horsepower, making it the most powerful Acura SUV ever. The interior is noted for its premium features, including standard Bang & Olufsen audio and Google built-in integration, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the A-Spec trim offers a respectable range of around 300 miles, the Type S is expected to deliver strong performance and a premium driving experience with features like adjustable air suspension and Brembo brakes. The reviewer finds the ZDX competitive against rivals like the Lexus RZ, Genesis GV70, and Audi e-trons, particularly given its estimated starting price in the $60,000 range for the A-Spec and around $70,000 for the Type S. However, minor criticisms include a charging rate that, while competitive, isn't class-leading at 190 kW, and a desire for even more extreme power in the Type S. The interior of the A-Spec model, in particular, was noted as not looking as premium as expected, though the Orchid interior on the Type S was more favorably received.
