2024 Acura ZDX Type S From Every Angle

The first Acura ZDX was a radically styled coupe-style crossover that didn’t sell particularly well. The new ZDX is a much larger, more practical two-row electric crossover with styling that’s still bold, but arguably less funky than the original ZDX. Acura invited me to drive its newest offering in the gorgeous oceanside mountains of Santa Barbara, California.
The ZDX definitely looks like an Acura, with a faux pentagon grille that’s bordered by a thin strip of LED lights that houses a giant Acura pendant. Its aggressive-looking “chicane” headlight design further identifies it as an Acura, but this big crossover is still based on General Motors’ Ultium EV platform like the Honda Prologue, Chevrolet’s troubled Blazer EV, and Cadillac Lyriq. The only exterior clue about the shared platform is its stretched wheelbase, which is one of my favorite aspects of the car.
Styling is subjective, so I’ve compiled some interesting angles in and around the new ZDX to share. My driving impressions are embargoed for another week, so in the meantime enjoy the different angles of the ZDX.
