Acura Steps into the Electric Vehicle Market
Acura has officially opened reservations for its 2024 ZDX and ZDX Type S models, marking its entry into the electric vehicle (EV) market. This launch introduces Acura’s new omni-channel digital sales approach, designed to enhance the buying experience for their innovative EV lineup.
2024 ZDX: Performance and Innovation
The 2024 ZDX, built on GM’s Ultium Platform—also used by the Chevy Blazer EV and Honda Prologue—emphasizes performance and modern design. Available in A-Spec and Type S trims, both versions come with a 102-kWh battery. The A-Spec can be configured with either a single-motor rear-drive or a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. Although exact pricing is not yet available, the A-Spec is expected to start around $60,000, with the more advanced Type S starting near $70,000, featuring a refined dual-motor AWD system and adjustable air suspension with adaptive dampers.
Customization and Power
The Type S model offers approximately 500 horsepower, while the A-Spec provides around 340 horsepower. A performance package for the Type S includes 22-inch wheels and high-performance tires. Customers can personalize their ZDX with a variety of exterior and interior color options, although specific packages and accessories will be detailed later.
Easy Reservation Process and Exclusive Perks
Reserving a 2024 ZDX is simple: create an Acura account, select your preferred model, and submit a $1,000 refundable deposit. Acura’s new digital sales process allows buyers to complete their purchase online or through a dealership if preferred.
Reservation holders will receive an Acura Energy Key Card, offering additional savings with partners such as Topgolf and Bang & Olufsen. This card also provides access to exclusive Acura events, including the 2024 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and the Sundance Film Festival.
