Second generation (2024)
Acura unveiled the all-electric ZDX in August 2023. The first EV in Acura's lineup, the new ZDX is co-developed using General Motors' Ultium vehicle architecture that underpins the Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer EV and the Honda Prologue, itself slated for a 2024 release. Similar to the Prologue, it shares many components with the Blazer EV, including the steering wheel, climate setting controls, and door handles. Additionally, it shares its powertrain with the Cadillac Lyriq.
Compared to the original ZDX, the 2nd generation ZDX has a more traditional roofline. The ZDX gains an A-Spec single-motor configuration, and a Type S performance variant, the latter of which is estimated to give 500hp, making it the most powerful SUV ever produced by Acura.
It is the first Acura to implement several technologies and features. The standard 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system marks the debut of Acura's partnership with the company. The infotainment system has Google Built-in, which is the first implementation of Android Automotive in an Acura, though it is a reskin of GM's version rather than the Honda developed version seen in the Accord. Additionally, the ZDX has a new hands-free highway driving assistance system called AcuraWatch 360+ with Hands Free Cruise.
Production of the ZDX began in early 2024 with sales starting in May 2024. Through November 2024, ZDX sales totaled 5,543.[17] In May 2025, sales totaled 1,873 units. From January through May 2025, there are 9,017 units sold [18]
In September 2025 it was announced that ZDX production had ended after a year and a half due to low sales numbers. It was only produced from March of 2024 to September of 2025.[19] At the time of the announcement, the ZDX was supposed to start production for the 2026 model year after skipping the 2025 model year.[20]
Powertrain
The ZDX has three different powertrain options. First is the base single-motor, rear-wheel drive A-Spec which outputs 358 hp and 324 lbft of torque. The all-wheel drive A-Spec has an additional motor powering the front wheels and makes 490 hp and 437 lbft of torque. A higher output version of this setup is used in the Type S, where it produces a slightly increased 500 hp and a significantly higher 544 lbft of torque.
All versions use GM's 102kWh lithium-ion modular Ultium battery, which is also used in the Cadillac Lyriq. It allows the single-motor A-Spec model an EPA range of 313 mi, while the dual-motor version achieves 304 mi. The Type S, which has larger 22-inch wheels, achieves a lower 278 mi of range. The ZDX can DC fast charge at up to 190kW, which Acura claims allows single motor models to add 81 mi of range in 10 minutes, and can charge the battery from 20-80% in 42 minutes. An onboard AC charger allows for a claimed charging rate of 29.4 mi per hour.
All versions have a maximum towing capacity of 3500 lb.
