Examining what the ZDX offers for the investment, the single-motor A-Spec yields 340 horsepower and an estimated range of 325 miles. The dual-motor A-Spec and the Type-S provide ranges of 315 miles and 288 miles, respectively. The Type-S emerges as the pinnacle with a robust 500 horsepower.
The ZDX is equipped with DC fast charging capabilities, supporting rates up to 190 kW. With a 102 kWh battery pack in the ZDX A-Spec, rapid charging can deliver up to 81 miles of range in just 10 minutes, under optimal conditions. An interesting addition is the adoption of Tesla’s NACS charging port, enabling compatibility with the extensive Tesla Supercharger network.
While interior details are yet to be fully disclosed, notable features include an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, an 11-inch “Precision Cockpit” digital display, and a 11.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment management. The ZDX marks Acura’s debut with Google Built-In and supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
To enhance the ownership experience, Acura offers customers three charging options (A, B, or C) when purchasing the ZDX. These options include perks such as a level 2 home charging station, installation credits, and EVgo charging credits. Additionally, all options come with 60 kWh of complimentary Electrify America introductory charging, contributing to a comprehensive electric driving package. The 2024 Acura ZDX is poised to carve a niche in the premium electric SUV market, delivering a blend of performance, features, and charging conveniences.
