Acura's finally enters battery-electric era with the ZDX.

says this ZDX can pack 190 kW of DC fast charging into the battery, which adds 81 miles worth of charge in 10 minutes.

Of course, the battery-electric powertrain will play quietly in the background. Most folks climbing behind the wheel of the ZDX will care more about this Acura’s interior. Fixed atop the dashboard is an 11.3-inch touchscreen media system, which is flanked by an 11.0-inch digital instrument cluster.Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both are part of this media system, but Acura is also loading it with Google Built-in. That means your favorite Google apps, like Google Maps, are readily accessible.

The team at Acura stuffed all of this in a 197.7-inch long and 77-inch-wide shell. That makes this Acura slightly smaller than the company’s MDX crossover, and a little larger than Chevrolet’s Blazer EV.While the ZDX is nearly an inch shorter in total length compared to the MDX, the ZDX’s 121.8-inch wheelbase is 8.0 inches longer than its stablemate. That should equate to a good experience on the highway, but we’ll find out when we get behind the wheel.

This whole package rides on a set of steel springs for A-Spec badged ZDX crossovers. For the ZDX Type S, Acura pivots to an adjustable air suspension. Multi-link front and rear suspensions control the Acura ZDX A-Spec’s 20-inch wheels.The basic suspension design hangs around for the ZDX Type S, but the wheels now span 22 inches. The ZDX Type S also adds a set of yellow Brembo six-piston front brake calipers that clamp a massive set of 15.6-inch rotors.

Acura says the ZDX is scheduled to reach customers early next year with a base price in the $60,000 range. Of course, if you want to add an extra motor to your A-Spec, or opt for the potent Type S, that base price will rise accordingly.Wesley Wren has spent his entire life around cars, whether it’s dressing up as his father’s 1954 Ford for Halloween as a child, repairing cars in college or collecting frustrating pieces of history—and most things in between.
