January 16 2024,
Acura's transition to an EV-only lineup has made great strides with the unveiling of an all-new luxury SUV, the 2024 ZDX. The model is based on an entirely new electric platform to be featured in all of Acura's upcoming EV releases. Here are the key highlights of the 2024 ZDX, set to arrive in Canadian dealerships this coming spring.
Choice of High-End, All-Electric Powertrains
The new ZDX will be available in two formats—the A-Spec trim and the more powerful Type S. Final specifications have yet to be confirmed by Acura, but the regular A-Spec model is slated to achieve an electric driving range of up to 500 km, an impressive figure for a luxury three-row SUV. The Type S trim is already generating industry buzz with a predicted output of 500 horsepower—a new level of performance in the consumer SUV sector. Both models feature dual-motor designs powering all-wheel drive and boast fast charging times capable of adding 120 km of range in a mere 10 minutes.
ZDX Type S Performance Upgrades
To handle the extra horsepower, the Type S trim includes enhanced engineering in several vital areas. Adjustable air suspension and adaptive dampers ensure a smooth ride. Stopping with its 15.6-inch front Brembo brakes is as swift and controlled as its surging electric acceleration. The sporty Type S comes supplied with 22-inch wheels clad in extra-wide, self-sealing tires for optimum grip when cornering at speed.
Premium Interior Luxury and Technology
Acura has earned its reputation for creating luxurious interiors, and the ZDX more than lives up to brand standards. The driver-focused cockpit design includes an ample display with an 11-inch digital instrument cluster behind the wheel and a central 11.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment, comfort, and safety functions. What's more, the ZDX is the first Acura model to feature Google Built-In technology, integrating apps from Google Assistant to Google Maps, retaining the settings from your Google accounts for easy mobile access to your online data.
The Latest AcuraWatch 360+ Safety System
Both ZDX models will be supplied with the AcuraWatch active safety and driver-assist system, including forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warnings with lane-keep assist, and much more. The ZDX system has been newly upgraded to include automatic rear cross-traffic braking, rear pedestrian alerts, and blind-zone steering assist for safer lane changes. The Type S model levels up with brand-new features, including hands-free cruising ability on selected routes and automatic parallel parking assist for easy everyday driving.
