Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The Acura ZDX is Acura’s first all-electric SUV. One of its striking features is the long wheelbase, at 121.8 inches; similar to a Chevy Tahoe's. The Type S has 22-inch wheels that are well-sized to the vehicle. They feature six-piston Brembo brakes at 15.6 inches in the front. It's styled in red with a black top, with brightwork to provide contrast. The headlights match the rest of Acura's line, and the grill lights up.
The Type S has 499 horsepower, and 544 pound-feet of torque in sport mode. Selecting sport mode also changes the suspension, which has adaptive dampers. The Type S features air suspension compared to coil suspension in lower-level trims. In sport mode, the car lowers by .6 of an inch, while the snow mode lifts the car by one inch. Standard AWD provides 490 horsepower and 437 pound-feet of torque, while the base level has 358 horsepower.
It charges at 190kW peak, not the fastest, but can charge from 20-80% in 42 minutes. It uses the NACS charging standard, and can be charged at Tesla Superchargers.
The ZDX shares a platform with GM vehicles, including the Ultium platform. Parts of the interior are shared with GM, like the stalks behind the steering wheel, steering wheel controls, climate controls, and key. A head-up display is included, plus Acura's hands-free cruise system. There is an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a large sunroof. The back seat has climate controls, heated seats, USB-C ports, and an outlet. The power liftgate accesses 28.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats up, or 62 with seats down. The ZDX can tow 3500 pounds when properly equipped.
Handling is improved with the low center of gravity and good weight distribution. The reviewed car came with Continental summer tires. The Type S weighs around 6000 pounds.
Pricing is a little complicated, but roughly: RWD base is $64,500, AWD base is +$4,000. The Type S is $73,500 + $1,000 if you want the summer tires. Add $1350 for destination. It is arriving in dealerships in the next few weeks.
