The ZDX is a bold leap but stumbles on borrowed parts.
The 2026 Acura ZDX marks Acura's ambitious entry into the EV realm, and it's a mixed bag of excitement and compromise. Initially, we're wooed by its spacious interior and the impressive suite of tech that comes standard, making the cabin a pleasant place to be, whether you're navigating city streets or cruising the highway. However, the GM platform underpinning the ZDX feels like a marriage of convenience rather than true harmony, and it shows in the driving dynamics and some interior elements. The price tag is a bit of a head-scratcher too, considering there are faster-charging, better-equipped EVs out there for less. Still, if you're an Acura loyalist looking to go electric, the ZDX might just scratch that itch, albeit with a few caveats.
