- Acura has released pricing for the new 2024 ZDX electric SUV.
- It starts at around $66,000 for the rear-wheel-drive A-Spec model and $75,000 for the more powerful Type S version that comes standard with all-wheel drive.
- The ZDX will go on sale in the U.S. starting in early spring.
Acura is getting a little help from its friends in kickstarting its electric-vehicle lineup: the 2024 ZDX is the brand’s first EV effort, and it’s based on GM’s Ultium platform that also underpins the Cadillac Lyriq. We now know how much the ZDX will cost, and its starting price of around $66,000 is higher than the Lyriq’s, which starts at under $60,000. (Acura has yet to release the destination charge for the ZDX, so we’re basing our pricing estimates off of the provided MSRP figures plus an estimated destination charge.)
Similar to the Cadillac, the Acura ZDX lineup starts off with a rear-wheel-drive, single-motor configuration producing 340 horsepower. The base ZDX A-Spec trim level is also available in a dual-motor, all-wheel drive configuration for an extra $4000, but Acura hasn’t said how much horsepower than version will offer. The ZDX A-Spec has a 102.0-kWh battery pack estimated to provide 325 miles of range in the RWD version and 315 miles in the AWD version.
The Type S turns up the wick with a 500-horsepower dual-motor powertrain, starting at around $75,000. Its range estimate is lower, at 288 miles. The sportier Type S features an upgraded height-adjustable air suspension with adaptive dampers, plus 22-inch wheels and larger Brembo brakes. There’s an optional set of summer tires for an extra $1000.
Included in the purchase of a ZDX is a choice of one of three charging packages. They all include 60.0-kWh of free charging at Electrify America stations, plus various options such as a home charging station, a portable charging kit, an installation credit, and credits at EVGo charging stations. The ZDX will start arriving at U.S. dealerships in early spring, and we’ll update this post with the precise destination fee as soon as it’s available.
Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
