Acura reveals its first all-electric vehicle, the ZDX

Acura has revealed its first all-electric model, the ZDX, alongside the ZDX Type S.

Both cars have been designed by the Acura Design Studio in Los Angeles, and mark the production debut of Acura's new design direction that was first introduced in 2022 at Monterey Car Week on the Acura Precision EV.

The Acura ZDX Type S comes with 22-inch rims and yellow six-piston brake callipers

The ZDX and ZDX Type S both sport a low and wide body, and feature Acura's iconic Chicane daytime running lights as well as the firm's Diamond Pentagon front grille, now reinterpreted for the electric age. The Acura ZDX Type S also debuts a new Acura colour, Double Apex Blue Pearl, first utilised on the Acura Precision EV Concept.

Inside, the ZDX gets an 11-inch Cockpit Driver Information Cluster and an 11.3-inch Centre Infotainment Screen. The infotainment system here features Google built-in (a first for Acura) as standard, adding apps like Google Assistant and Google Maps to offer users a more personalised and streamlined driving experience.

Google Maps can additionally be displayed on either screen in both models of the Acura ZDX, allowing the front passenger to assist with route planning. The app will also show recommended charging stations, and can estimate the charging time required for users to reach their destination. It will additionally initiate battery preconditioning if a direct current fast charging station is selected as a destination.
