Exploring Acura ZDX: What You Need to Know

Acura – the luxury vehicle subsidiary of Honda has always made performance-oriented cars that oozed luxury.

They have done it again by introducing the ZDX.

So what is the Acura ZDX?

Well, it is an electric SUV that has room for 5 and is closely related to the Honda Prologue EV. The ZDX is based on General Motor’s Ultium EV platform. However, the presence of Acura-specific pieces ensures the car feels reasonably upscale.

Price range and the best trim to buy

The 2025 iteration of the ZDX from Acura is available with a price range that starts from $66,000 and can go north of $75,000 given the options as well as the trim you have chosen.

The onboard motor and its power

The ZDX is an all-electric luxury vehicle from the house of Acura. The base trim of the ZDX (known as the A-spec) sports a single motor that is tuned to produce 358 hp. The motor drives the rear wheels of the car. One can choose to have an additional motor in this car which will bump up the total output of the car to a whopping 490 HP and also transform the car into an AWD vehicle.

Then there’s the Type S of the Acura ZDX which is an all-wheel-drive car sporting two motors that puts out a combined output of 499 HP. Furthermore, the car rides on an adjustable air suspension system. The car also gets Brembo brakes as well as 22-inch wheels! If this was not enough then Acura also offers you the option of equipping the Type S ZDX with summer tires instead of the all-season tires that come as standard equipment from the factory, on these cars.

Irrespective of the trim you end up buying, you would love the quiet cabin of the car. Furthermore, the vehicle is tuned in a manner that allows driving an enjoyable experience on the freeways, especially at triple-digit speeds! If you are worried that your car would end up being driven dangerously by you or the other members of your family then you can always install a car tracker device. A tracking device like a Vyncs GPS tracker that tracks driver behavior, is the perfect solution to keep your car as well as your loved ones safe – especially when you own a high-performance car like the Acura ZDX!

Performance

Tackling corners at high speeds is also a fun experience as the steering wheel of the car is properly weighted. However, it should be pointed out that this is not a car that should be considered if you are looking for an agile vehicle. Additionally, Acura should also increase the feedback it offers to the driver’s hands through the steering wheel. In this way, the car would become more engaging especially when driven enthusiastically.

The real-world range, battery pack charging time, and battery life

Please note that although the ZDX is made by Acura, the car uses the revered Ultium Battery Technology produced by GM. Hence, the ZDX and the Cadillac Lyriq have the same battery packs onboard. The battery pack in question is a 102.0-kWh unit which can keep the ZDX moving from point A to B for about 313 miles without stopping for recharge.

However, this driving range applies only to the rear-wheel drive, single motor equipped A-spec trim of the ZDX.

The ZDX Type S comes with two onboard motors that send power to all 4 wheels of the car but are powered by the same battery pack. Hence, it is natural for the Type S to have a lower driving range of just 278 miles per charge.

The best part is that all trims of the ZDX come with the DC fast charging feature that is capable of recharging the vehicle at a rate of up to 190 kW. As per Acura, it means that the car can be recharged for a range of 81 miles in a mere ten minutes!

However, the States are yet to have a reliable and stable EV charging network. Hence, it is natural for EV owners to still suffer from range anxiety especially when they are out on an interstate road trip. For the best results, one can invest in a Vyncs car GPS tracker. GPS trackers from revered brands like Vyncs can help EV owners plan their trips in a manner that allows them to travel through roads riddled with EV charging stations. In this way, one can reach their destination without breaking a sweat!

The package

All trims of the ZDX come with seats wrapped in leather. The A-spec trim of the ZDX sports 12-way power-adjustable front seats that are paired with both heating and cooling functions. The ZDX Type S trims are equipped with 16-way power-adjustable seats that are heavily bolstered on the sides and sport thigh extensions as well!

Other standard features available on the Acura ZDX are as follows –

  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • A heated steering wheel
  • A power-adjustable steering column and
  • A panoramic sunroof!

Infotainment offered

The ZDX’s dashboard is adorned with an 11.3-inch infotainment display positioned in the middle.

The gauge cluster is an 11.0-inch display unit.

The infotainment unit is both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible. The infotainment unit runs on Google's Android Automotive OS and sports Google Maps for navigation.

Additionally, all trims of the ZDX are equipped to the brim for audiophiles as the cars are decked out with 14-speaker setups from Bang & Olufsen. The best part is that all speakers are tucked behind beautifully crafted aluminum grilles!

Standard safety features

This is an Acura hence it is natural for the car to come from the factory with a host of in-house developed standard safety features.

For instance, all trims of the car boast blind-spot monitoring as well as an automated emergency braking system. Furthermore, buyers are also offered the option to upgrade the safety package of their ZDX to AcuraWatch 360+ which lets the car be driven hands-free!

Other standard features on offer from Acura are –

  • Adaptive cruise control system
  • Pedestrian detection and
  • Lane-departure warning (with lane-keeping assist)

So, is this a good car?

Well, the 2025 iteration of the Acura ZDX is an electric crossover SUV. If you can ignore the fact that you’d have to charge your car to drive it, then this is the car for you. The design language of the car is sleek. The drivetrain of the car offers plenty of punch, the ride is very smooth and there’s a boatload of tech on-board the car to keep tech-savvy people happy. But there’s the fact that the interior sections of this car lack the premium feel Acura cars are known for.

That’s our piece, for the time being!
