Acura ZDX 2025: Price, consumption, picture, technical data. EV
Acura begins its journey to an electric future by reviving a name from its past: ZDX. Unlike the original ZDX, which debuted for the 2010 model year with a fastback design that was arguably ahead of its time, the new Acura ZDX EV SUV will wear a more traditional two-box SUV shape.

The new SUV was previewed by the Precision EV concept, which debuted at the 2022 Monterey Car Week. The styling of the concept is interesting, with a floating roof, smooth body sides, and an illuminated grille.
Previous reports said the Acura will be built alongside the Cadillac Lyriq SUV at GM’s Springhill, Tennessee assembly plant. That gives us a clue as to what will power the Acura ZDX EV: a rear-mounted electric motor producing 340 horsepower in base trim, with the possibility of a 500-horsepower all-wheel-drive variant offered as an upgrade – possibly with a Type S badge.
What’s new ?
The ZDX nameplate returns for the model year, attached to Acura’s first all-electric SUV offering. If the ZDX line follows the trim levels of gasoline-powered Acuras, we should see a variety of models with increasing technology and performance.
The Type S will likely be the top-of-the-line model, and we’re excited to see what an electric version of Acura’s famous performance trim will be capable of.
EV Motor, Power and Performance
If the Cadillac Lyriq – the ZDX’s surprise platform mate – is anything to go by, we’re expecting rear- and all-wheel-drive options ranging from 340 to 500 horsepower. Acura has confirmed that a ZDX Type S is part of the plan, and that could well be the higher-horsepower all-wheel-drive variant. No details have been released yet, but we’ll know more closer to the ZDX’s on-sale date.
Range, charging and battery life
The Acura ZDX EV will use GM’s Ultium battery technology and will likely get the same 102.0 kWh battery pack as the Lyriq. That battery is expected to provide up to 450-500 km of range in the Cadillac, so the Acura should offer a similar number.
Interior, comfort and cargo
The interior features elements we believe the production car will not be able to boast, including a narrow yoke steering wheel and a transparent infotainment system. On the practical side, the ZDX is the product of a partnership between Acura parent company Honda and General Motors; the ZDX will use GM’s Ultium battery.
We expect the production ZDX to get a more conservative interior design than the Precision EV concept car. The concept car’s yoke steering wheel will likely be replaced with a regular, circular one. A two-row seating layout is likely, and we expect premium interior materials and possibly some eco-friendly textiles to enhance the ZDX’s green appeal.
Release date and price
The electric vehicle will launch in , along with the Prologue and Blazer EV. Honda-developed electric vehicles will launch in 2026. The Blazer will start at $45,000 for the cheapest version and around $66,000 for the top-tier version. We could bet Acura will be at the top end of that range, with the Type S arguably outselling the Blazer SS models .
