That's what I was thinking hearse that chrome stripe . $$$ cost for a Chevrolet. The dealer better rust proof it will be seating on the lot for a long time. 😞
This is one ev I wouldn't mind owning long term crazy high price aside.Ofcourse with my daily driver when the battery gives out and I can't replace it immediately. Award winning reviews as always motormouth 🎉
The price ($91,000 CAD) is absolutely ludicrous! The only Acura that is worth that kinda money, has the letters … NSX on the rear bumper (there are currently three available in Canada for that kind of money). Yes, it’d be used. Yes, it’d have some mileage. Yes, it’s not an EV. But … you’d be the coolest person you know, it would demonstrate to people that you are truly passionate about cars… and perhaps most importantly… you wouldn’t LOSE half your investment in UNDER a Year! Yes… possibly 50%!! Smart money, and for those with passion… it is a no-brainer. Thanks for the video.
Hahah this is cheap compared to the audi evs. The q4 etron which is their cheapest ev is 106k while the q8 etron is 160. Q6 etron going to be 150k. Acura don’t even compare with luxury cars, stay in ur brokie affordable lane. (I drive a 2024 cayenne s hybrid pebble grey and a 2022 m5 comp matte black profile picture)
Any thoughts about comparing it to the Genesis GV70 Electrified? Seems more in line with the ZDX and Lyric from a luxury standpoint. And it's also pretty quick.
Im in S. California. Test drove this few days ago. Our dealer had great promo (also Costco) . Felt too big and heavy for my taste. Felt like driving a boat. It was smooth and quiet driving tho. I did appreciate that the interior felt like a trad'l car and not a sterile lab. Agree with the hearse strip vibe.
@@Slickpete83The model 3 base rwd starts at 53k before tax and rebate. The long range AWD is 63k before tax and rebate. The rebate is applied after tax, so you'll have to calculate that based on your location. Also you don't need AWD in Canada. A good set of snow tires is what matters the most.
@@chrisdiscodudeno one needs awd, but no one wants rwd. Rwd anything all but disappeared in Canada for a reason. No one wants it and good luck selling it used.
Nice positive review of what I consider a very attractive product. Let's hope the GM bones don't undermine Acura's customers confidence in the brand going forward. People buying these should be aware of what is under the skin. Hold on tight Andrea that man has a devilish glint in his eyes. The GV70 Electric could have been a "consider" too.
Price is crazy for sure. Chrome Delete all the trim should be blacked out. 22” tires? 18-20” are not sufficient? Mileage will certainly suffer. Does this have One pedal driving?
My sister who is living in Thailand, just sent me a picture of her going for a ride in a fully electric regular 4 door car. Good enough range to spend the entire day working as a taxi. Selling price about $15,000 CAD / $11,0000 USD. It’s only a matter of time until those vehicles come to North America America. Even with a 100% tariff, which would be illegal under WTO rules, current sellers have no chance of competing.
Looks like it has the control on the side of the seats for massaging. No way to access from the infotainment on gm products (cant speak for acura) but the outer ring on the lumbar should allow you to control seat massagers.
The battle in EV market will be in the sub 40,000 , most people cant avord 100 grand Ev...going to be alot of EVs on the used market as well...but great review guys..
Expensive wagon hearse. Should have folded seats down and checked if casket would fit. It’s a one and done as you said, but seems to just meet regulations for Acura to have an EV. Not serious into EV until their later models. There are way too many other options for that price for a car that will already be discontinued. I’m not an Acura basher as I own an Acura rsx type S that has been an absolute workhorse and super reliable. I was hoping they’d bring out a hybrid and stay with the brand but doesn’t look like that will happen
INSANE price. Makes No sense to spend almost $100,000 bc society says the price of gas is too high. Not to mention you'll probably have to spend another $10,000 at least, in the future for a new battery. No thanks...easy pass for me. Next...
$87K starting price in Canada 😂😂😂. No wonder people are turned off by EV's and sales are slow. What were they thinking. Also that interior is horrendous for the price point.
I like the look much better seeing it rolling around, even with the hearse trim. A simple application of some vinyl tape and that issue would be gone. As other have said, Tesla who?
Cadillac Lyriq sold 9154 units in 2023, January -March 2024 has sold 5800 units. So Cadillac with the same platform will if projections hold will sell 23000 units plus. It will probably be less of a flop than the CyberRustBucket.
I really enjoy your channel. The chrome instantly made me think of a hearse. Too bad because they nailed the rest of the design. (Except for it being electric 😊 ).
My prediction… if you want lose your shirt… get one fast! … as it will not even be around as long as their barely known first generation ZDX (2001-2013). Cool looking vehicle though. Thanks for the video.
WTF, $91k+ taxes CAD for a rebadged Chevy EV! Clearly its for compliance, maybe a 2 or 3 MY vehicle at best. If you're really in love with it, lease and make damn sure you get a 0% and high residual because it won't be worth much after its axed!
The ZDX are flying off the shelves. I’ve seen these on the road. I have an RDX and let me tell you. It is fast lol. The lady probably didn’t know how fast she’s going lol .
Guys, I guess you are being forced to review these EVs ! What is wrong with Acura??? They had an excellent product from 2018 -2020 (3 years) in a MDX Sport Hybrid!! They should have revived that technology , with new enhancements, in the new MDX Redesign. I own a 22 MDX Advance, which is a terrific Vehicle. Yes, a bit pricey, but compared to the other Luxury Brands for what you get in the fully loaded models, it is actually a Bargain. For about $2K more, Acura could have produced a new Sport Hybrid version which would have been a Complete No-Brainer. Using the same Type S engine , 3.0L enhanced with small electric motors, which provide more HP & Torque than the non Type S (like mine) , 20% better MPGs !, and would have been the same Redesigned MDX not requiring any changes. This MDZ EV will be a Enormous Flop, IMHO.
It’s nice enough for what it is but ridiculously overpriced. I suspect Acura isn’t interested in selling many of these as it is a compliance car. Two other criticisms: since they will only sell a handful of these I don’t understand why Canada gets stuck with just a black interior when the USA gets better choices. Also, the design of the interior and dash doesn’t look as special as a $100K car should. It looks very conventional and a lot like every other Honda product. Disappointing.
I have to drive 355 miles to the beach and cross the desert @100 degrees with the a/c on the entire way. Plus there is a 4000 ft elevation change, up and back down. And very few charging stations. What is my range under these conditions. Our Avalon can do it without working hard!
$75000 in USA is just too much for an Acura! Since you have to spend to upgrade charging as well, to many other brands that offer more proven results but it is nice looking and Honda reliability is legendary!
I’m not a fan of these black roofed cars. All the Japanese car companies are following this same trend. Reminds me of the 1970’s vinyl tops. What I am a fan of is Andrea & Zack.
The pricing of these electric cars in Canada is absolutely ridiculous. I mean good for them for having their first ev but man.... That much money starting out? Lol

“but the price” is the theme for the automotive industry for 2024.
An ongoing theme from the past half decade. Average transaction prices are actually down for this year thus far.
Where does the casket go
Looks like a hearse with that roof trim.
Good observation. It really DOES look like a hearse!
It does 😅😅😅
Damn, can't unsee now. This is awful lol.
That's what I was thinking hearse that chrome stripe . $$$ cost for a Chevrolet. The dealer better rust proof it will be seating on the lot for a long time. 😞
It does look like a hearse at the rear! That's exactly what I said. I'd stay away from this vehicle just for that reason.
price is crazy
A beautiful car and nice interior 👍. But WOW! the price in Canada and no tax rebate that's expensive!! Great review guys👍👍
Is the black roof trim the funeral parlour special?
I'd take this over any Tesla by far.
The chrome strip does make it look like a hearse.
lol
That's an Acura thing. The RDX and MDX both have that chrome strip.
a $10 can of black plastic coat solves that issue.
Absolutely! That was my 1st thought!
i love you guys. you make every review fun.
Your electric hearse has arrived! This is sure to match the sales figures of the original ZDX. “But hey! Did we mention it has a Type S badge!”
Beautiful Area!. Great review!

@@sugarhog1938 Cheap? Less expensive, perhaps, but hardly a bargain.
@@sugarhog1938 What currency are you quoting? Nowhere near that high in Canadian dollars.
I agree. Cheap is not the same as ‘less expensive’.
Almost 350K ! Who hoo! It's been a great ride so far. Keep it up guys!
Thank you very much!!
What about the charging?

Dash looks like an economy car w/big screens! Will Acura ever get the interior right??? Thx you 2!
it a GM interior screen
Love your videos but constant zee instead of zed started to get a bit irritating. How does the price compare to the Lyriq?
thats because it is ZEE-DX. ZED-DX just sounds… interesting let’s just say that.😊
@@mikevaldes9831 No zee in Canada just zed.
I was exited about the Acura since I own an older one, but the Price is instane! Good luck, Acura.
Same here. Hearse was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw that chrome trim.
*OMG $85k CAD plus tax, all this save a few bucks on fuel, too expensive,no wonder people hate electric cars*

I love the chrome strip, it sets it apart from all the other cars with no style. You can always get it painted black if that’s your preference.
I love her laugh! 😂

The cheap chinese EVs? They are crap tho
And why would you choose this over the Lyriq? Air suspension is not enough especially as it is only on the Type S.
Omg that price is crazy.
No SiriusXM option??
I'm a big fan of the channel but not a big fan of this car. This is 100k CAD after tax 😂😂😂😂 Why don't I just get a X5?
No. Save the planet.😅
Looks like it has the control on the side of the seats for massaging. No way to access from the infotainment on gm products (cant speak for acura) but the outer ring on the lumbar should allow you to control seat massagers.

Something about the side profile reminds me of a hearse
Would this not be more a GV70e comparison? It looks the same size.
Please, a hybrid!
Acura Canada just told me they are not doing any hybrids but rather just moving straight to EVs. 😪
The chrome trim over the doors makes it look like a hearse……
I laughed my ass off when he said the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂

Every RUclips reviewer is calling this a hearse. Acura needs to dig itself out of this grave situation and think outside the box. I’m dead serious.
A $10 can of black plastic coating solves the problem. Settle down on the absurd hyperbole.
If not for that roof I would get one I’ll keep my model Y P for now .
Nice ride
I like the look much better seeing it rolling around, even with the hearse trim. A simple application of some vinyl tape and that issue would be gone. As other have said, Tesla who?
what a beautiful community to drive in....
It does resemble a hearse!
For $90k I'm going to get a hybrid Tucson and a 2nd vehicle.
Gotta love the ZeeeeeDX
The interior is the same of my 2024 MDX, which is 20K US less
prediction... this will be a massive flop

+1 on the hearse look. Dare I say the the styling puts a grave burden on the consumer.

Noway!!! Gm, gm,gm..! Not an acura.. wait for next acura made... 😮
Lol it’s 80% LG.
Price is insane. The Lyriq looks better and that's my choice. I'm waiting for 2025 for HUD and (hopefully) other features.
Not just looks better - is better. For less.
But no EVs are good.
Hope one day EV are just a thing of the past!!!
and this day should be near in the sense of a few years
OMG, I was also gonna call it a Hearse!
It does look like a hearse! 😂
Visit to the vinyl shop will fix that tho
So, if I drive it for 37 years, the gas savings will pay for the car!

That chrome strip on the side and around the "grill" has to go, otherwise it looks like it is a great luxury EV.
Wonderful...yet another EV only rich people can afford. How about making one that the rest of us can afford to combat the ridiculous gas prices?
Totally reminds me of a funeral
Another vehicle that nobody can afford.
An electric hearse. As quiet as it's passengers. (sounds like a segment intro clip from 'Six Feet Under').😂😂😂
What About During the Wintertime 🥶❄️😂🤣☃️🗻 Do You think it's going to be worth the money 💰??🇨🇦🇺🇲
These EVs all have battery pre-conditioning for cooler/cold temps. Now, will the actual chargers work? That's the question.
My buddy gets around with a 2020 Kia E-Niro, has even done road trips in BC and Alberta and has had no issues.

190 kWh for fast charging is horrible!
They sell the "Black emblem package" to get rid of the chrome... for $1206.29 CAD... ridiculous
