Coupe-styled crossover (2010-2013), revived as an EV in 2024. A bold, niche Acura.
The Acura ZDX began as a coupe-styled crossover (2010-2013), a swoopy, low-roof SUV based on the MDX with a V6 and SH-AWD. It was bold but niche, and sold in small numbers. Acura revived the ZDX name in 2024 as the brand first electric SUV, built on a GM Ultium platform with a Type S performance variant. The two ZDXs are very different cars sharing only a name. On WhipJury, the original ZDX appears as a rare, distinctive used crossover.
Frequently asked questions about Acura ZDX
Are the two ZDXs the same car?
No. The original ZDX (2010-2013) was a V6 coupe-styled crossover on the MDX platform. The 2024 ZDX is a battery-electric SUV on a GM Ultium platform. They share only the name.
Why did the original ZDX sell poorly?
Its coupe-like roofline sacrificed practicality and the styling was polarizing, so it found few buyers and was discontinued after 2013.
Is the new ZDX a Honda or a GM product?
The 2024 electric ZDX uses GM Ultium battery and platform technology under Acura design and tuning, a result of a Honda and GM electric vehicle partnership.
Is the original ZDX reliable?
Generally yes, sharing its durable V6 and SH-AWD with the MDX. Age and rarity of trim parts are the main concerns now.
Is there a performance ZDX?
Yes, the 2024 ZDX Type S is a high-output electric performance variant, the sporty version of the new electric SUV.
