That ZDX was the forerunner of today\u2019s \u201cSUV coupe\u201d trend, combining an SUV\u2019s higher stance with a coupe\u2019s sportier roofline. It never took off in the U.S. \u2014 Acura sold just over 7,000 of them stateside in three years of trying \u2014 about how many\u00a0MDX SUVs\u00a0it sells in a month.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also see: <\/strong>The handsome new 2024 Mazda CX-90 plug-in hybrid SUV breaks new ground for the car maker<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Not quite Acura bones<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The next ZDX will be unique in a different way.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s built on the GM Ultium platform through an agreement with General Motors. That means the ZDX shares much of its architecture with the\u00a0Cadillac Lyriq\u00a0and the upcoming\u00a02024 Chevrolet Blazer EV.

The company will offer three versions.<\/p>\n<p>An A-Spec single-motor trim level will make 340 horsepower with one electric motor driving the rear wheels. Acura says it \u201cis expected to start in the $60,000 range.\u201d An A-Spec dual-motor version will use two motors for all-wheel drive (AWD). Acura hasn\u2019t revealed power figures for that one. The company claims a range of 325 miles with one motor and 315 with two, though the EPA hasn\u2019t weighed in on that.<\/p>\n<p>A ZDX Type S will also be AWD and get 500 horsepower. It rides on an adaptive air suspension and gets high-performance Brembo front brakes. The Type S will start at around $70,000. It is estimated to travel 288 miles between charges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You might like:<\/strong> 18 new EVs to watch for in 2024<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Quite a striking look<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div data-layout=\"inline\n                \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n          media-object\n          type-InsetMediaIllustration\n            inline\n  article__inset\n          article__inset--type-InsetMediaIllustration\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p>\n<p>          <!-- eventually when we know what this card will be we can change it and leave this one --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"\n        media-object-image\n        enlarge-image\n        img-inline\n        article__inset__image\n      \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p>It may be partially a GM product underneath, but the body is all-new and all-Acura. A toned-down take on\u00a0last year\u2019s dramatic Precision concept, it bears an obvious family resemblance to today\u2019s\u00a0RDX\u00a0and MDX. But it adds dramatic flair with a long hood marked by three prominent ridges. A floating roof design emphasizes the visual length.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, a high-mounted central touchscreen is a fairly standard 11.3 inches but looks larger thanks to control surfaces mounted next to it that look like more screen real estate.

Instead, the company says, \u201cAs a part of an announced joint venture between seven major automakers, Acura EV clients will have access to a leading high-speed brand-neutral charging network in the United States and Canada starting in 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acura seems to have partially backed away from\u00a0plans to sell its EVs only online. The company says, \u201cAll Acura ZDX sales will take place through a new, omnichannel digital sales process, ensuring a simple and intuitive shopping experience from home or at an Acura dealership. Pre-sale activities for ZDX will start later this year, with first client deliveries slated for early 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:<\/strong> Where the future of online car buying may be headed<\/p>\n<p><em>This story originally ran on\u00a0<\/em><em>KBB.com.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/the-2024-acura-zdx-acuras-new-electric-suv-has-striking-looks-gm-platform-fe4d243a?mod=personal-finance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acura\u2019s first electric vehicle will appear for the 2024 model year.
