About ZDX

The ZDX name has had two lives, and neither was long. The first was a swoopy, coupe-like crossover sold from 2010 to 2013, a car so dramatically styled and so impractical that it found few buyers and became a trivia question. Acura revived the badge for its first all-electric SUV, a far more conventional machine that arrived for the 2024 model year as a bridge while Honda prepared its own electric architecture back home in Japan and Ohio.

The electric ZDX was built by General Motors in Tennessee on the Ultium platform it shares with the Cadillac Lyriq and, more closely, the Honda Prologue. Acura gave it its own body, cabin and tuning, and offered a dual-motor Type S that was the quickest Acura SUV to date. Reviewers liked its roomy interior, quiet ride and long range, and noted that beneath the Acura details it felt unmistakably like a GM product, Google-based infotainment and all.

Its run proved brief. Acura's electric future now rests on vehicles it engineers and builds itself in Ohio, starting with a revived RSX, leaving the ZDX as a transitional model and a used-EV curiosity. In showrooms it was measured against the Lyriq, the Genesis Electrified GV70, the BMW iX, the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and the Tesla Model Y, and its steep early depreciation has made it an intriguing bargain on the used market.

Coverage here is mostly about ownership: recalls shared with the Prologue, such as a rearview camera fix, software updates, resale values and the larger tale of the Honda and GM alliance. For anyone shopping a used ZDX, those recall and service stories are the ones worth reading first, along with news on charging access, since GM-built EVs have gained the ability to plug into Tesla's Supercharger network with an adapter.
