Overview
The 2025 Acura ZDX is a five-passenger electric SUV built on the GM Ultium platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Honda Prologue EV, Cadillac Lyriq, and Chevy Blazer EV. While its interior design may feel like a mix of different styles, the ZDX offers a reasonably upscale cabin and impressive performance capabilities. However, its driving experience lacks excitement, even in the performance-oriented Type S trim.
Price
The 2025 Acura ZDX is expected to start around $66,000 and range up to $75,000 depending on the trim and options. We recommend the A-Spec with the optional dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain, which offers similar performance to the Type S at a lower price.
Engine
The ZDX’s powertrain options range from 358 to 499 hp, with rear-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available on the base A-Spec trim. The Type S features standard all-wheel drive and an air suspension system with adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes, and 22-inch wheels.
Dimensions
The ZDX accommodates five passengers across two rows, with standard features including leather upholstery, 12-way power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a panoramic sunroof. The cabin remains quiet during cruising, and the front and rear seats are comfortable for adults.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The ZDX Type S accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds, while the rear-wheel-drive base model estimates a 5.5-second run. Handling is composed, but lacks agility and steering feedback. The ZDX’s ride is smooth, even with the Type S’s 22-inch wheels. The EPA rates the ZDX at 90 MPGe combined for the rear-wheel-drive model and 87 MPGe combined for all-wheel-drive models. Their testing achieved 68 MPGe highway, underperforming its 80 MPGe highway rating.
The 2025 Acura ZDX is a solid, yet uninspiring electric SUV. While it offers impressive performance and a comfortable ride, its driving experience lacks excitement. Those seeking a more engaging drive may want to consider alternative options. However, for those prioritizing practicality and luxury, the ZDX remains a viable choice. Its reasonable pricing and generous standard features make it an attractive option in the electric SUV market.
