Inspired by the 2022 Acura Precision EV concept, the ZDX features an elegant design with subtly toned-down elements.

Crafted at the Acura Design Studio in Southern California, the ZDX will be available in two variants – the standard ZDX and the performance-focused ZDX Type S.

Underpinning the Acura ZDX is the GM Ultium platform, renowned for its robust dual electric motor setup found in other related models like the Chevrolet Blazer EV. This platform ensures a powerful and efficient performance, further adding to the ZDX’s appeal.
Additionally, Acura has revealed that the ZDX will be the brand’s first model to come equipped with Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store, seamlessly integrated right from the factory. Furthermore, the ZDX will feature a Bang & Olufsen audio system, making it the pioneer Acura vehicle to offer this premium audio experience. A partnership between Acura and Bang & Olufsen ensures that this feature will become standard across the brand’s model range in the years to come.
