2024 Acura ZDX: Concept Vs. Production…
Last Updated:
Acura showed us their “Precision EV Concept” just last month. And the production version called the Acura ZDX is already testing in public roads. Just like these other Ultium-based models we’ve seen lately (The Honda Prologue, Chevrolet Blazer EV, and Equinox EV), it will go on sale for the 2024 model year.
The ZDX is basically the Acura version of the Honda Prologue we saw yesterday. Although it obviously has its own design and interior. So far, I actually like the production model much better than the weirdo concept. o me, the production version is already more attractive. Although the slanted front end of the concept was actually a pretty nice touch, it looks like most of it didn’t make it to the production car.
It will be interesting how Honda chooses to price and position the Prologue and ZDW against their GM cousins. We’ve seen the Blazer EV, but there’s also a Buick version on the way soon. Which will compete more directly against the Acura model.
I was really hoping for a modern interpretation of the first ZDX in an SUV coupe form. Especially since that was ahead of its time.
It’s so important retesting that the went with the ZDX name which was an SUV coupe ahead of its time.
As some one who has owned and driven many different Acura’s over the last 25 years, I thought the ZDX was the most ugly thing ever (well maybe not Aztec level ugly, but close). I couldn’t believe anyone would ever buy one. Now, all these years latter, I absolutely love it. On the rare occasion when I see one, I get so excited.
I just wished the new one was stylistically closer to the original.
