2024 Acura ZDX Type S Review - Most POWERFUL Acura Ever 

Get a $110 Rebate on Continental Tires! bit.ly/41rWvVU

The depreciation on these will be historic

The roof line at the rear has a hearse look to it...🤔😁

So this Acura is actually a Honda that's actually a GM. At least it's pretty.

With the shape of the roof and the chrome strip this reminds me of a funeral car. Can't unsee. Lol

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.

D.O.A in Canada no one is going to pay $90K+ (most likely over $100K with taxes) for this.

That chrome strip on the C-pillar makes it resemble a hearse.

Thumbnail pic got me watching

They couldn’t reprogram the dash sounds to Honda/Acura? If I close my eyes it’s all 100% GM

I don't know who's making these decisions at Honda, but I'm so disappointed in them...

Side profile with black roof and chrome trim reminds me of a hearst. Once you see it you cannot unsee it.

2:24 how the roof meets the quarter glass with the sliver strip, gives me Hearse funeral car vibes

Was the herse looking swoop on the side supposed to indicate "dead on arrival?"

Ahh, the references to the OG ZDX. They really were ahead of their time.

Just got done with the dishes. Excellent video, guys!

FINALLY a car that showx carplay/adnroid maps in the cluster. i've never understood why others dont do that.

Is Yuri wearing a nomis sweater lol I haven't seen that brand in yearssss , love it nomis is og af lol

1:25 that was such a smooth transition, you guys timed it perfectly

Honda already gave up on the platform and GM collaboration. You'd be crazy to buy this.

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.

That chrome trim after the C pillar makes it look like a hearse.

In the end, Ultium is a solid platform. We’ll see the winner in 5yrs.. still think hybrids should’ve came first.

9:38 is an underratedly courteous move. Common straightpipes w

It looks like a hearse. Which makes sense considering everyone saying it is D.O.A.

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.

Yesss I am not the only one that dislike black wheels. Slick silver wheels are much much awesome and luxurius.

Sick NOMIS sweater Yuri!!

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.

1:25 nice transition if people are paying attention. 😊

The chrome accent strip on the rear quarter makes it look like a hearse

Not sure if I like Acura Blazer or Chevy ZDX better

Cool looking ev. Love the tigers eye color.

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.

The side profile at the rear (top) looks like a hearse with the way that chrome strip drops down.

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.

You can't have call two-tone cars cool and then show a picture of the Baja. Love you guys

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).

It looks like a hearse from the top when you look at it from the side..lol 😆😂

Innovating the hearse, now electric so you don't disturb the corpse in the back. 😂

Is that a Nomis jacket? Brought back some nostalgia for me haha.

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)

When you’ve put so much money investing into something people won’t buy you may as well release it anyway 🤣

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!

@thestraightpipes where is Yuri's hoodie from???

I thought I was subscribed already, and only checked because Yuri changed how he says Z XD

A hearse would have something like that swooping chrome strip on the blacked-out C-pillars.

Man I gotta say. Amazing Easter egg on filming two “Hondas” on Honda Blvd 🤣🤣

Hopefully it sells as well as the last ZDX

Like the looks but the silver line down the side makes it look like a Hearse in my mind.

Was there any mention of the rear cargo room!?!

Will it show waze in the cluster?

The paint looks crazy and the blacked out roof makes it look like a hearse.

3:34 you are right. The side view on the gold one, with that chrome trim, it looks like a HEARSE. Like you are carting around someone who DIED.

THANK YOU for not setting off my Google Home!

LOL that center camera being out of focused really fucked with me for first bit. Thought my you tube wasn't loading properly.

Is that Desert Tan now the new "it" color for SUVs and Crossovers?

OH MY GOD ITS MAGNIFIQUE !!!!

Thank you so much for censoring Google. 😂😂 My Google Nest is right next to the TV.

Looks awesome like a Acura should look. Could be more Acura inside, however it's good enough.

6:30 Is that a Datejust Ref. 126333? I guess that Continental sponsorship is paying off!

The “Zed” Hearse 😂

Nice new two-tone, Jakub!

i don’t have a google home. but i liked the memes

design looks futuristic

I miss the old zdk! It was ahead of its time

Looking at it from the side “profile”, the chrome piece, makes it look like a hears.

If I got the zdx I would have to wrap the chrome trim at the top.

YESSSSSSS! You finally said "ZEE"!

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.

Yuri, so glad to see you have embraced American manifest destiny 🤠😎🦅

Looks like a hearse with that roof and that chrome piece, love the color, not worth the price and no frunk no sell.

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.

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!

Shout out Yuri’s Nomis sweater

The upper half of the back side profile reminds me of a hearse.

Telling me this is basically a rebadged Chevy is not a good sales pitch. Lol.

The way you pronounced Z was inACURAte, Yuri

19:27 I agree! I wish these mid luxury models have colorful interiors for colorful exteriors. Many of the configurators have Red and Blue exteriors paired with only black interiors. I'm shopping somewhere else. I need colors on the inside.

Why don't you guys do box test anymore??

chrome roof trim looks like a hearse.....

Another distinction to add with CarPlay direction THIS vehicles does not precondition prior to DCFC. Another vehicle in the near future does this 😉

5:31 sounds like an old Windows 95/98 intro almost

Love the looks of this🔥 imagine this with a V8🔥🔥🔥

I think i was probably the only one who noticed that the taillights look similar to a M4 comp

The backend from the side looks like the padded roof on a hearse.

WISH Australia got Acura stuff

Almost looks like a Hearse from the side with that chrome going through the rear window.

It shares a platform with the Cadillac lyric as well. And you can kinda see it more than the Chevy.

So, to me this is just an update on the concept of the old Acura SLX and 1st Gen Honda Passport. Honda needed an SUV, and used two Isuzu products to fill the need until they could develop their own. In this case, they used GM’s platform to fill a need, and are they probably developing their own platform to come out in the next few years.

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.

Is that color called "Proof that I'm dehydrated"?

It's like the 80s and 90s Talon/Laser/Eclipse the way companies are leveraging the same car for EVs nowadays

Side view looks like a hearse with the black roof and the silver trim. I wish this new ZDX were more of a coupe design like the original one was. It was really one of the first coupe-ified SUVs. Because it isn't now, it should've been called something else.

I still love the older version the body style is still nicer.

It is a beautiful car. It would be nice if they make an ICE version with the same exact look.

Oh no just realized Yuri has a Mazda affected by the turbo engine lawsuit

The price is insane!

Was hoping for some dmx music on this one

Stylish design, reliable transportation.
