Video Summary
The 2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec is the base model with an all-wheel drive that is only available in Canada. The American version has real-wheel drive. It's based on GM's Ultium platform and is like a reskinned Blazer with an Acura touch. There are no parking cameras on the A-Spec model, though parking sensors are included. The exterior in white doesn't look bad, but it's probably not the color the reviewer would buy the car in. This version has 490 horsepower, while the Type S has 499 horsepower. It does not have the weird charging mechanism that the Blazer had.The Acura is more expensive than the Blazer. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included. The seating, steering wheel feel and design are favorable. The UI is preferred, but the screen is smaller. This has the holy grail back, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The visibility is good. Driving feels like the reviewer is driving the same car. It feels a little more comfortable. Rear air suspension will be added to the Type S. It is noted the same "GM" noises will be heard for various functions and has GM buttons. One pedal driving set level is available.
The reviewer believes it's a safe first attempt for Acura. The electric aspect is subtle. The reviewer prefers this over the Blazer. Also believes its design will age better than the Blazer. It drives so very well, and it's nice to drive and that a lot of people asked about it, which he really liked a lot. To wrap things up here he believes the Altium platform is performing well but thinks this electric could make it better than what GM has.
