Second round of more detailed videos are up. All the added conveniences are pretty cool. I'm not in a state where an EV makes financial sense, but this is getting me more excited if they add these features to the 25 MDX MMR. Probably 3 months for more MDX detail though as the ZDX needs its quarter in the limelight.
If my dealer has a demo ZDX, I might take it for a spin just to play with the features...

I wonder if this means GM has fixed whatever production issues that have been plaguing them. They just released their Q1 sales figures and they reported 5800 Lyriq deliveries, an increase of 500% YoY and a 50% increase QoQ. It'll be really interesting to see how sales of the Lyriq and Prologue compare to the ZDX.

This guy did a detailed interior/exterior walkthrough video from the NY auto show. Looks like he was not subject to the official press driving impression embargo as he seems to be a regular auto show attendee.

Glad to see Honda doing a BMW UDE-like tour to demo Prologue/ZDX at six EV hotspots. Somehow the tour is not promoted publicly, maybe targeting towards dealership personnel?

Meanwhile, the ETA of preorder has been delayed by another month and deep into July. Where is that early 2024 launch?

2024 Acura ZDX Type S From Every Angle
Logan CarterThu, April 25, 2024 at 9:30 AM EDT·4 min read
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe 1st Acura ZDX was a radically styled coupe-style crossover that didn’t sell particularly well. The new ZDX is a much larger, more practical 2-row electric crossover with styling that’s still bold, but arguably less funky than the original ZDX. Acura invited me to drive its newest offering in the gorgeous oceanside mountains of Santa Barbara, California.
The ZDX definitely looks like an Acura, with a faux pentagon grille that’s bordered by a thin strip of LED lights that houses a giant Acura pendant. Its aggressive-looking “chicane” headlight design further identifies it as an Acura, but this big crossover is still based on General Motors’ Ultium EV platform like the Honda Prologue, Chevrolet’s troubled Blazer EV, and Cadillac Lyriq. The only exterior clue about the shared platform is its stretched wheelbase, which is one of my favorite aspects of the car.
Styling is subjective, so I’ve compiled some interesting angles in and around the new ZDX to share. My driving impressions are embargoed for another week, so in the meantime enjoy the different angles of the ZDX.
Take The Chicane To The Pentagon
Photo: Logan K. CarterAcura’s 2 trademark front-end design elements, the chicane daytime running light design leads directly to the ZDX Type S’ illuminated pentagonal “grille”
What The Frunk?
Photo: Logan K. CarterPeeking under the creased hood of the ZDX Type S reveals a big slice of plastic and some sound deadening material that looks like sheepskin near the wheel arch.
Who’s Got You Smiling Like That?
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe ZDX’s rear tail lights look like my squinty eyes when I smile real hard. Am I alone in seeing that?
Bring Out Your Dead
Photo: Logan K. CarterSomething about the side profile gives the ZDX a bit of a resemblance to a sporty hearse.
Acura? I Hardly Know Ya
Photo: Logan K. CarterDespite the Acura emblem on the steering wheel, the ZDX shares its architecture with General Motors’ Ultium vehicles like Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. The interior design is fine, with lots of buttons, and ample space and storage.
Why’s It Gotta Be White?
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe ZDX Type S’ white leather seats look great, but you can already see a suspicious brown stain on the side bolster near the seat controls. I SWEAR IT WAS THERE BEFORE I GOT INTO THE CAR.
Trunktastic
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe ZDX has a sizeable trunk with a gaping maw of an aperture to load stuff into. It should prove to be quite practical.
Wheeley Nice
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe ZDX Type S comes fitted with these massive 22-inch wheels thoroughly secured to the vehicle with six lug nuts.
It’s Grille-ing Time
Photo: Logan K. CarterSince the ZDX is a BEV that doesn’t require as much ventillation as an internal combustion vehicle, it doesn’t need a traditional grille. Acura created a faux grille using LEDs around the perimeter, the big Acura logo in the middle, and embossed an angular design into the faux grille that all works quite well.
Smells Like B&O
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe ZDX has a Bang & Olufsen stereo, but only the upper speaker grille is metal and displays the B & O branding. The entirety of the door below the arm rest is hard, scratchy GM plastics that were already marred by clumsy journalists’ feet by the time I got into it.
Booty So Big, Lord Have Mercy
Photo: Logan K. CarterThis is the most interesting aspect of the ZDX’s styling in my opinion. This is a close-up of the d-pillar and the character line that runs down the side of the body and creates a shelf at the rear. It’s kind of giving me a subtle nod to the 2002 Renault Megane’s derrière and I’m here for it.
Is That A Speaker?
Photo: Logan K. CarterThis speaker on the a-pillar confused me. I don’t think I’ve ever just seen a dark hole in the a-pillar of a car before. I feel like it’s a perfect spot for a spider to live, so if you have a pet spider then this might be the car for you.
Buttons! Sweet, Merciful Buttons!
Photo: Logan K. CarterThankfully, the ZDX Type S has plenty of physical controls for adjusting the climate. Unfortunately, all the buttons look and feel the same and require you to visually confirm you’re hitting the right one. But still way better than banishing the controls to the dark depths of the screen!
E-Colon
Photo: Logan K. CarterThe ZDX has Honda’s “e:” badge to denote its electrified powertrain. I asked the folks at Acura if it’s meant to be spoken in the name of the car and they said no. It’s not the ZDX E-Colon.
Don’t Emboss Me Around
Photo: Logan K. CarterAgain, the white leather seats in my test car were very comfortable and supportive, and feature embossed Type S script on the front seat head restraints.
