People commenting on every car video about depreciation is getting really played out. Every car has high depreciation once driven off the lot. This is nothing new. 🥱
I’m not a Tesla fanboy at all, but when a Model Y is $54k in Canada (plus qualifies for $5k government incentive), has more range, more experience building and supporting EV infrastructure, supercharger network, etc….how can anyone possibly justify this for over $90k? I can understand some people may prefer this design, but beyond that, the price of this is just wild. If you don’t want a Tesla and want a fast EV, the Kia EV6 GT destroys this for the price.
The only compelling EV outside of Tesla in Canada is the EV9, and that’s just because it occupies a space that has no other cheap alternatives (closest 3 row competition is like 40k more expensive)
You justify it in that ten driveways on the block don't already have one. And somebody will actually say, "Wow, never seen that before!" rather then "Eh, another model three ( or model Yawn)."
I feel bad for people who buy this…. It’s not even a Honda product. Never EVER buying anything from GM. Ever. As a 2013 MDX owner, I will wait until Honda develops and puts their own bespoke platform on the market. THERE IS A REASON THEY DIDN’T DEVELOP THEIR OWN. They most likely have next gen tech coming, and putting it on the market now is too risky because it takes a lot of capital and requires more testing. So they outsourced everything to GM. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. GM already had a stop sale on these a few months back.
Even better is the recent set of lawsuits over GM/Honda selling all your driving data to insurance companies and people getting dropped or rates increased.
Honda EV just suck even from their own (Honda e - good looking but still suck as an EV). Honda still haven't proved themselves as a good EV maker yet. My reason for Honda/Acura products are still 4 cylinder engine and manual transmission.
@cbotten106 that term was invented by Corey Doctorow to describe social media websites getting crappier to make more money. It definitely works for car companies cheaping out.
This will 100% damage the Acura name. I could maybe understand it for the Integra because people in the Honda/Acura family already respect the CIVIC and it's not as different from Acura as a GM product is going to be. This on the other hand? All so Acura can wave their hand and say "look we have an EV" even though any true Acura fan is looking to MDX/RDX/TLX and those are the people Acura needs to stay relevant.
@@HuskerDan402 I don't think Acura fans will care; Honda has always been known for keeping a tight budget at Acura. Look at how the Integra is missing ventilated seats and lumbar memory and a power passenger seat, how the TLX has awful packaging, how all the models had the unintuitive true touchpad system in the 2010s, or how the ILX was woefully outdated.
It's a very good looking car, but being based on a GM platform is a big downside, especially for the price. It's like an expensive restaurant meal being made with dollar-store ingredients.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for censoring the "hey Google". Donut just had an ad recently that triggered my room speaker three times in a row. So annoying! I appreciate the effort! Interesting car, too.
@@DeuceDeuceBravoI agree, also to capture EV sales from Acura fans. It's a relatively cheap placeholder but at least they did a good job with the tuning and most of the design.
Agreed! Someone needs to be let go over at Acura America ! They have been destroying the brand.. if it wasn't for the new Integra Type S. I was going to give up hope for Acura as a whole. I'm really not impressed with anything they have been putting on the market. HONDA needs to go over their and do some restructuring .
Agree with some other commenters- It’s Perfect for moving Dead bodies in the back. The side profile chrome trim piece really does give off a mini Cadillac HEARSE vibe.
Since it was designed in California and that there seems to be consensus that the rear quarter panel gives a hearse vibe, it makes me wonder who they used for focus group feedback, and what do hearses look like in California? Still looks very good and unique in my mind, in a world of similarly styled SUVs.
It makes sense for areas that get bad smog. A lot of California had that issue until stricter smog laws were passed. There's also plenty of solar power and sodium/lithium grid storage, so EVs work here. Sounds like Canada has more issues with the cold and worse charging networks.
Really upset they removed lots of the concept car details, like the grill was much nicer. I thought maybe this would be the car my dad should get from our MDX but I definitely think the X5 is the way to go. Also yeah I thought they’d keep the coupe style SUV for the ZDX like the older model.
It's a Cadillac Lyriq. Built along side the Lyriq in a GM factory. There's very little Acura anything to this. It's quite sad that Honda / Acura needed GM to come out with an EV, not just any EV but to bring back the ZDX name. Acura themselves are hoping that loyalist aren't aware they are buying a GM product. Acura technicians aren't trained to work on this. So in the end, why not just save some money, buy the GM version? Another disappointment from the Acura brand. Their partnership already ended.. Such a joke at this point.
Fun fact worked on the OS for this and one of the feature I built was the bang & olufsen sound mode. And I asked the same question. They said it is cause it is that color from the old systems 16:58 And gm only did the software for it the rest is all acura
It's refreshing to see a new car with physical controls, no gimmicks, and a straightforward solid suspension. With a good lease deal, this will be a very solid car for people.
The biggest problem with the Acura ZDX is that the MDX exists. The ZDX is a 2 row EV with less cargo space and fewer seats than the MDX, but being sold at a price higher than the MDX A-spec. It's like a larger RDX made into an EV. Granted, I am more comfortable driving the ZDX than the RDX or MDX, but the target audience doesn't want to be hassled with recharging at public charging stations and would just as quickly take an RDX A-spec or MDX A-spec and pocket the difference. I own the Cadillac Lyriq AWD Luxury 3. In every way it's better than the ZDX. It looks better, has better materials inside and is more likely to turn heads. I also have massage seats. The ZDX A-spec lacks massage seats and GM Supercruise. You'll need the S-type to get the autonomous driving. You're spending $75k and not getting an interior as nice as the Lyriq's. The 490HP AWD helps make this a fun vehicle and the available air suspension makes the ride smoother on the 22" wheels, but the interior buttons, switches and display screens look sadly cheap. Maybe even cheaper than what you find in the Chevy Blazer EV (another Ultium sister). You're basically getting a guzzied up Honda Prologue. I think these cars are going to need considerable discounts to sell, but in their defense, they are more comfortable and livable products than the Tesla Model X, Model S or many other Luxury EV that cost way more. Most buyers are gonna get an MDX instead.
i absolutely hate the shelf on the back! And why is it so flat? I love how it drives. I tested one, but it looks like a hearse. And trying the all black one only highlights that even more.
This is a reminder to our fellow American friends down south that GM/Honda are amongst other Manufacturers selling your data to Insurance companies. So dont launch this depreciation rocket too often or brake too hard, your premiums might magically go up.
Whenever I hear a Canuck say Zed I think of pulp fiction. The last scene his asks about where he got the motor bike from. He responds is a choppa and it’s from zed. Zed is dead baby.
All these people will be shocked to know manufacturers share parts and chassis all the time. Most 8 and 9 speed transmissions are ZF. BMW, Ram, and everyone else use them soo not buying those either?
This co-development deal with Honda/GM also been cancelled as Honda is saying they are struggling to get good range with GM's platform plus the slowdown in EV sales.
@@tarekz9992 looks amazing but will it sell. I’m in my mid 30s and all my friends are car people and they’re all only considering X5s, GLEs, and GXs. Infiniti isn’t even in the conversation anymore 🤷🏽♂️ Personally I’d take a X5 or an Escalade long before I’d consider a Q80
Do you guys know anything about what happens to fully functional yet still 'pre-production' vehicles such as this one? There is nothing online that I can find about it. From what I've gleaned, some are used as corporate cars until end of lifespan or destroyed after use. Perhaps a select few are kept in company collections (not open to the public).
Lyriq is ZDX, they have the same 12 module battery, thus charging perf would be similar to that not to Blazer which is mostly the 9module (except for the RWD RS)
Great review guys. I haven't commented lately, but you're both still doing a great job. Keep it up. I hope you get the 2-mil mark soon. This is a very nice rig and only GMs reliability record has me wondering how successful it will be in the long run. The Prologue too, very nice and a worthy competitor for those looking into an EV alternative. Teslas are still the best in my opinion. Their engineering, efficiency and packaging is still top notch in the industry. The Model 3 still wins most comparison test even when paired with the newest efforts from other manufacturers. For all his quirks, Elon and his team did a fantastic job of turning the entire industry toward viable EVs. I would look into this Acura simply because it looks so much better than the Model Y and X. All of them, however, are still too expensive!
I think, for a first effort, this is a good shot by Acura, other than the price. Yikes! That's a lot of money. Honda / Acura has entered a lot of new car segments with the help of another manufacturer, and then kicked ass once their own product, designed and built in-house for gen 2, came out. They're going to be wonderful, once they start hitting the used market. 😉😅 As always, great review guys. Definite 10 out of 10!
It's a good looking SUV but it's a gm product so reliability might be questionable in the long run I personally would have made it a hybrid with the already existing type S V6 turbo with 365 HP and add a 200 HP electric motor dude this thing with 565 HP would be lethal on the road and would still be a Honda/ Acura product
The Crosstour and the ZDX are based on different platforms and are not the same car really at all despite seeming like they would be! The ZDX was based on the Pilot/MDX while the Crosstour was based on the Accord.
The Tesla adaptor exist. I have a Mustang Mach E GT Performance (2023) and Ford reached out to me to tell me they are mailing out an adaptor so that I can public charge at Tesla Superstations.
considering the weight and torque and powerful brakes, that is a Very Low towing capacity. A 2013 BMW X5 has like 6,000# towing capacity even on a 6 cylinder. That means you can tow another car. But obviously towing capacity has something to do with the structure of the vehicle.(which sounds weak to me)

If I got the zdx I would have to wrap the chrome trim at the top.
considering the weight and torque and powerful brakes, that is a Very Low towing capacity. A 2013 BMW X5 has like 6,000# towing capacity even on a 6 cylinder. That means you can tow another car. But obviously towing capacity has something to do with the structure of the vehicle.(which sounds weak to me)
It looks like a hearse from the top when you look at it from the side..lol 😆😂
design looks futuristic
Can you get the Government EV rebate? It's a good thing to know when test EVs must fully pass for me on this one too odd GM in honda look
It is a beautiful car. It would be nice if they make an ICE version with the same exact look.
@thestraightpipes where is Yuri's hoodie from???
Color spec is badass but needs a white interior
Such a good spec
A hearse would have something like that swooping chrome strip on the blacked-out C-pillars.
Thank you so much for censoring Google. 😂😂
My Google Nest is right next to the TV.
I thought I was subscribed already, and only checked because Yuri changed how he says Z XD
Worth noting that you MUST get the Type S in order to get lane centering functionality, not even an option on lower trims. Very weird choice
