The 2024 Acura ZDX arrives as the automaker’s first electric car. It’s based on GM’s Ultium battery platform and the lineup includes a performance-oriented Type S variant that we got to drive.

The ZDX looks handsome with Acura’s signature “Jewel Eye” headlights and a pentagonal grille that’s actually an embossed panel with an illuminated outline.

Along with a 121.8-inch wheelbase, the wagon-like ZDX measures 197.7 inches from stem to stern, is 77.0 inches wide and 64.4 inches long.

The ZDX A-Spec offers rear- or all-wheel drive powertrains, but the punchy Type S is AWD only. It is also the most powerful model, with an output of 499 hp and 544 Nm of torque.

The ZDX Type S features exclusive equipment including height-adjustable air suspension and yellow-painted Brembo six-piston front brake calipers clamping 15.3-inch rotors.

For $1000, the Type S can be equipped with beefier summer tires. They are mounted on a set of black 22 inch wheels.

Inside, the ZDX has an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with built-in Google software and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Type S comes standard with a 360-degree camera system, additional parking sensors, a digital rearview mirror, Hands Free Cruise (Acura’s version of GM’s Super Cruise), a head-up display, heated rear seats and three-zone climate control.

We wish the driving modes were easier to access and that the current mode was indicated in the instrument cluster; the level of regenerative braking is also difficult to decipher at a glance.

The EPA estimates that the Type S has a driving range of 278 miles, which is 26 less than the AWD A-Spec. Each ZDX has a battery with a usable capacity of 102.0 kWh.

The 2024 Acura ZDX starts at $65,850, but that’s for the A-Spec model with rear-wheel drive. The AWD A-Spec and Type S start at $69,850 and $74,850. All models qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit.
