Acura ZDX Type-S - It's about the little things

Uploaded 8 months ago by Auto Focus

Video Summary

The Acura ZDX Type S is an option for those seeking a new electric crossover with a budget of $75,000 for commuting, family duties, school drop-offs, grocery runs, and a sporty feel beyond the average Model Y.

The Acura ZDX Type S offers 280 miles of max range and charges at 190 kilowatts, making it unsuitable for road trips. A test list at the beginning of the review didn't include the road trip aspect.

The Acura's 'Tiger Eye' color is a favorite choice for the car in the review. The car looks appropriately sporty, as intended, with a line on the front of the hood and LED headlights. However, the side trim might look better in black. The silhouette and hatchback design aligns with others of its kind in America.

Compared to other EVs, this model offers a ton of trunk space, back seat space, and foldable back rows for more storage. There is no front trunk. This provides enough space to fit a bicycle in the back. The car offers folding back seats for added space.

The Type S has a dual motor and 500 horsepower. More subtle things differentiate this one from the others, including interior finishes. It is a practical, user-friendly car.

The reviewer notes there is a lot of excess plastic in the vehicle's interior. However, the layout works. The Acura features a power button, common among General Motors cars. A paddle behind the steering wheel allows for additional regen braking, and one-pedal driving is accessible through the screen, along with level setting. A HUD and sunroof are other features. There are heated and ventilated front seats.

Google Assistant works well with the built-in maps, and is accessible when you log in with an account. It has decent-sounding Bang & Olufsen speakers.

Overall, the car drives nicely, is quick, is stable, rides so smoothly, and the car is highly livable.

It is zero-to-sixty in 4.3 seconds.

In conclusion, its simplified, easily navigated software, along with having a volume knob, makes for a great choice. It's a well-equipped choice with no missing elements, however he wishes it had more range.
