What is the 2024 Acura ZDX?
The Acura ZDX is a 2-row, 5-passenger, electric crossover SUV. Official 2024 Acura ZDX dimensions are unavailable as of this writing, but like the Cadillac Lyriq, the ZDX will be compact on the outside but midsize on the inside. The SUV comes in two trim levels: ZDX A-Spec and ZDX Type S. The Type S is more powerful, and Acura tunes it for better handling and performance.

2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec Specs
The ZDX A-Spec is the base version of Acura's new electric SUV. It has a standard single-motor electric drive system powering the rear wheels, and a dual-motor setup is available to provide all-wheel drive, which Acura will likely refer to as Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The ZDX A-Spec sits on 20-inch wheels and 265/50 all-season tires and boasts what Acura claims is nearly a 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution.

2024 Acura ZDX Type S Specs
Acura tunes the ZDX Type S for performance. It offers more power from its dual-motor drivetrain, and Acura upgrades the electric SUV's acceleration response, braking capability, and handling to make the ZDX more fun to drive. Highlights include a height-adjustable air suspension with performance adaptive dampers and 15.6-inch Brembo front brakes with yellow 6-piston front calipers. Acura also fits the ZDX Type S with 22-inch wheels and 275/40 self-sealing all-season tires. Performance tires are available.

How Much Horsepower Does The Acura ZDX Type S Have?
According to Acura, the ZDX Type S offers an estimated 500 horsepower from its dual-motor drivetrain. That's 160 more ponies than the ZDX A-Spec single-motor drivetrain, which is good for 340 hp. Acura has not yet announced specs for the ZDX A-Spec dual-motor setup. However, regardless of your choice, the towing capacity measures 3,500 pounds.

2024 Acura ZDX Range
The 2024 ZDX uses a 102-kWh lithium-ion battery, which gives the A-Spec single-motor model a maximum driving range of 325 miles. The A-Spec dual-motor model can travel 315 miles on a charge. The driving range for the ZDX Type S drops to 288 miles.

2024 Acura ZDX Charge Time
The ZDX is compatible with charging rates up to 190 kW, and Acura claims the A-Spec single-motor model can add 81 miles of range in 10 minutes. When you're in unfamiliar territory, the Acura Smartphone App can help you find and get directions to most DC fast chargers in the U.S., and you can pay for charging through the app. On your way to the charging station, you can precondition the battery to ensure the fastest charging experience possible.

2024 Acura ZDX Interior
Acura characterizes the ZDX's interior as driver-oriented, and the center console design and slightly angled infotainment screen support that assertion. An 11-inch digital instrumentation display is standard, paired with a separate 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The ZDX technology presentation is not as sophisticated as the 33-inch-wide combined screen Cadillac uses in the Lyriq.

2024 Acura ZDX Cargo Space
Acura has not announced ZDX interior dimensions, including cargo space, as of this writing. However, based on what Cadillac offers in the Lyriq, the ZDX may supply about 30 cubic feet of cargo space behind the back seat and about 60 cu-ft with the 60/40-split rear seat folded down.

2024 Acura ZDX Google Built-in Infotainment System
The ZDX's standard 11.3-inch center touchscreen infotainment system features Google Built-in and provides access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and every ZDX has OnStar and connected services. The standard 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system features brushed aluminum speaker grilles and Beosonic audio mood profiles, including Bright, Energetic, Warm, and Relaxed.

2024 Acura ZDX Safety Features
Acura will equip the ZDX with its AcuraWatch collection of advanced driving assistance systems. New features include automatic braking as part of the rear cross-traffic alert system and an active blind-spot monitoring system that can steer the ZDX to try to avoid a collision. In addition, the ZDX Type S will offer AcuraWatch 360+ with Hands Free Cruise, which is likely a version of the Super Cruise technology offered in the Cadillac Lyriq.

Acura ZDX Price and Release Date
Acura estimates the ZDX will have a base price in the mid-$60,000s, while the Type S will start in the mid-$70,000s. It goes into production in Spring Hill, Tennessee, at the end of 2023 and will be available to customers in early 2024. Acura says it will sell the ZDX through a new digital sales process online or at the dealership.
