Acura has referred to the ZDX as a efficiency SUV from the beginning, so we count on it to be fairly a fast car. The powertrain within the base Acura ZDX A-Spec will include a single electrical motor and rear-wheel drive, producing an estimated 340 horsepower. A dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model of the A-Spec can be obtainable, however its outputs have not been shared.
We all know that the dual-motor AWD Sort S will ship an ‘estimated’ 500 hp, so this mannequin ought to be able to a 0-60 mph time of round 4.5 seconds if unbiased exams of the 500-hp Lyriq are something to go by. The bottom mannequin will take a couple of second or longer to do the identical. All ZDX fashions may have a most towing capability of three,500 lbs.
Whereas the A-Spec has a multi-link, fastened coil suspension, the Sort S has a height-adjustable air suspension and high-performance adaptive dampers. This sporty variant will even have 15.6-inch Brembo entrance brakes with six-piston calipers.
The problem for Acura can be to make the ZDX Sort S not simply speedy however participating, typically a problem for totally electrical automobiles that may really feel moderately scientific. The Precision EV Idea got here with an Instinctive Drive mode that introduces racier instrumentation and lighting, however that might not be sufficient to persuade fans. Acura did promise that its Sort S EVs can be enjoyable to drive, and the 50/50 weight distribution ought to assist it obtain that objective.
