The verdict: Acura’s first production EV has quite a bit in common with the Honda Prologue — and it’s not just the shared platform. Like the balance of performance and comfort in the all-new Acura ZDX Type S, there’s a clear balance of things we like about it and things we don’t.
Versus the competition: The ZDX Type S is related to the Cadillac Lyriq and is a natural competitor to that along with the Genesis GV60, Lexus RZ and far cheaper Tesla Model Y. For the most part, the top-level ZDX cuts right down the center, offering more range and quicker DC fast charging than some, but not all.
