Acura's first all-electric production vehicle will go on sale early next year in two flavors, the base ZDX and the ZDX Type S performance variant, both for the 2024 model year.
Co-developed with General Motors and sharing the US automaker's Ultium batteries and drive units with the Honda Prologue, Acura's electric mid-size crossover SUV will also feature smartly integrated intuitive technologies as standard equipment.
Those will include the brand's first Integration of Google built-in with the latest apps and services. The ZDX will also become the first Acura model to get a Bang & Olufsen luxury audio system, marking the launch of the collaboration with the Danish high-end consumer electronics company.
There's not much more to learn about the Acura ZDX from the company's short press release, but we do get a teaser photo that provides the first good look at the vehicle's front end styling. The ZDX in the teaser image is actually the Type S variant, which likely has a sportier body kit than the regular version.
The front end features Acura's Diamond Pentagon grille – albeit in closed-off form here – outlined by an LED bar and featuring a large Acura badge in the middle. The horizontal headlights feature a typical Acura DRL light signature, and the hood features three sharp creases.
The ZDX will probably mirror the Cadillac Lyriq's 340-horsepower single-motor RWD and 500-horsepower dual-motor AWD powertrains, with the Type S likely to get the latter given the fact it will be Acura's most powerful and quickest SUV ever.
Acura has yet to announce where the 2024 ZDX and ZDX Type S will be built, but the company says all the models it sells in America are built in the US.
