CR's Take

The Acura ZDX is a four-door luxury SUV that is styled like a coupe. It is based on the MDX SUV and is priced above it. Acura says they focused on making the front seating area as comfortable as possible, while the very snug second row is expected to be used less frequently. It has a cargo area that can be expanded when the second-row seats are folded. The low roof, tall beltline, small side windows, and narrow rear window compromise visibility. The powertrain is a smooth and powerful 3.7-liter V6, which is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.

Model History

2024

2024 Redesign Year

The ZDX, a sister vehicle to the Honda Prologue, is Acura's first EV and a product of an alliance with General Motors. We found the ZDX to be quick, quiet, and roomy, while also having a relatively long driving range and competitively quick charging. The A-Spec version we tested is available with single or dual electric motors, the latter giving it all-wheel drive. We got a robust 313 miles with the dual-motor version in our 70-mph highway-range test. The large 102-kWh battery is able to add about 30 miles of range per hour during home charging. At public DC fast-charging stations, the ZDX has a competitive 190 kW max acceptance rate. The ZDX rides smoothly, but handling is short on agility. The front seats are comfortable, and the rear seat is generous. Many of the controls, including the gear selector and steering-wheel stalks, reflect the current GM format, but the ZDX's infotainment system is easier to use. The ZDX was discontinued after just one year of production.

2010-2023

2010 Redesign Year

Bowing for 2010, the Acura ZDX is a four-door luxury SUV derived from the MDX but styled like a coupe. The powertrain is a smooth and powerful 3.7-liter V6, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Space and amenities are lavished on the front seats while the cramped rear feels like economy class. Folding the back seats frees up a good-sized cargo area. The low roof, tall beltline, small side windows, and narrow rear window compromise the view out. The ZDX was discontinued after the 2013 model year.
