The Acura ZDX is a midsize electric SUV that marks Acura's first serious push into the battery-electric space, targeting luxury buyers who want a premium, technology-forward alternative to the German and domestic EV establishment. Built on a shared platform with the Honda Prologue, the ZDX slots above the MDX in Acura's lineup and aims squarely at style-conscious, safety-minded drivers who refuse to compromise on either.
