Sounds like eventually this will have the NACS port! We have to wait to see how it drives before we can make any conclusions but to me this looks and feels way better than Lyriq… at least the Lyriq that’s available today! Right off the bat the suspension improvements *should* make this a much better handling car than the Lyriq that’s currently available but we’ll have to wait and see until we drive it. Just a quick preview but if the bugs can be worked out from Lyriq and supply can keep up, this may be a great option!

@theichione1827 Год назад

At least for the US market from a practicality standpoint more manufactures should consider putting the charge port on the front passenger side like the Nissan Ariya, as it works well with existing Tesla superchargers (see Miss GoElectric’s short on the MagicDock) as well as makes curbside charging and charging when towing easier.

@adzeightyseven Год назад

Why did they put the same uncomfortable rear seats in as the Lyriq? That massive wedge with the Isofix points was a dealbreaker for me for the Lyriq - such a shame.

@georgepelton5645 Год назад

@@theichione1827I agree, standardizing charge port location is a great idea. Short cables are easier to handle, keep clean, and avoid dropping the connector on the pavement which causes reliability problems. It would be even better to put the port on the driver’s rear. Having it on the driver’s side makes it easer to plug in at home every night.

@jasonmorningstar7435 Год назад

Yeah, I get that "hearse" vibe too. (I see I'm not the only one). Looks a little goofy from the rear, overall. I appreciate the charge door though. No need for all of the complicated, motorized contraptions. The interior looks fairly nice. I'm VERY familiar with that steering wheel. It's the same as my Chevrolet Bolt EUV. LOL! 😄

@@ctingulz Saving costs I guess?. I have to question some of the decisions designers have made recently because it seems to be getting more polarizing to the end consumer. I personally want the piano black interior pieces to be designed out of cars. It looks nice but is impossible to up keep. The trend of adding on more screens on electric cars especially for the passenger seem a little over the top unnecessary.

@G-Rated 7 месяцев назад

I prefer the Lyriq and Blazer’s upscale electric assisted charge port doors especially for the price you’re paying. Honda cheapened out on this Acura and it shows in comparison to even the Chevrolet that this shares its platform with but clearly biased reviewers like this guy are trying to change that narrative with bs.

@ray85158 Год назад

I will still go with the Lyriq. Much better looking. Better interior. From what I heard thru various rumor mills, GM is going to redesign the charge door on the Lyriq. I suspect it will not happen until the NACS connector comes out in 2025.

@rahimi4762 Год назад

@kenhiett5266 Год назад

You were overly critical of the Lyriq, but now you're all in on the same SUV with different cosmetics? Other than the backend, the Cadillac looks better.

@rahimi4762 Год назад

The Lyriq is better. Acura could of done better. I’ll hold judgement until we have production. I say this because it has a Honda steering wheel like the Integra and a upscale Honda interior. The Type S only giving 500HP when the Blazer gives 557. No touchpad but the could of gave us one with touchscreen. Touchscreen smaller than both the Cadillac and the Blazer. They could of had interior similar to old ZDX but with modern screens and tech. Still nice tho. But no word of SHAWD or even E-SHAWD and then the getting rid of ELS

I like his detailed reviews, and he is quite knowledgeable about driving characteristics and the industry generally, so I can forgive his occasionally bad take. Have you watched the review he did on that little Volvo EX-30? I think that's the right model # if memory serves me. It's a teeny tiny little thing that had me laughing because him sitting in it reminded me of Chris Farley in a little coat...lol. I made a comment about it just minutes before he made a statement about how large and roomy the SUV was. It was so ridiculous I had to back up the video to make sure I had heard him correctly. His review was so biased on that one, it was like an infomercial for Volvo.

@Gur814 Год назад

"I had a problem with the Lyriq cupholders and ergonomics." Huh? That one fiddly bit in the middle of the cupholders was all I remember you talking about there. The Lyriq center console is one of the best in any car I've ever owned. Plenty of space for cups, good wireless charger, nice storage bin and floor storage area. They even managed to add some nice shortcuts for common apps, a volume scroller, and a wheel to interact with the screen. It's so nice to use on a day to day basis. I don't really understand this complaint at all.

Ive driven a Lyriq a lot. I don’t agree about the lack of power for the rear wheel drive. It was plenty for every driving circumstance I could find. The one thing i will agree on is the charging door operation. I don’t know why the Lyriq went to the power door that skips badly. Everything else is so premium, I was surprised by this. I saw the ZDX today at The Lodge and it almost looks French with the back end. I like it but I think it’s going to appeal to a different customer.

For whatever dumb reason, Kyle, has a hard-on against Lyriq. While in the mean time he gives a pass on the overpriced Rivian SUV(90,00 dollars), with it's limited leg and passenger room(See his wife could not have enough leg room in front seat with second row child seat strapped in) or the so-called over 500 mile range Lucid Air, overpriced at 160,000 dollars, could barely make 372 mile trip(Pasadena to Phoenix), with setting cruise control to 70 miles/hr limit, he has no criticism. At the end of the day, the Cadillac lyriq fully spec, has a low price of 70,000 plus dollars, can compete with any of the high end EV's, and that includes Tesla, BMW, Mercedes EQS, etc. Particularly when you consider the very competitive low price. Further lunacy, this Acura ZDX, without it even being released for review is "So Much" better than the Cadillac Lyriq. SMH.

@kubi0461 Год назад

Love that front end look. I like the pricing.. it gives me hope that the Honda Prologue will start within my price range especially if the tax credit applies. My main concern is on how well the ground clearance holds up in deep snow and how well the awd works.. I’m worried they’ll be giving up the excellent capability of sh-awd/i-vtm4 when transitioning to EVs. I plan to put a reservation in on a Prologue to at least have the option potentially available. To be completely honest, what I ideally want out of an EV is something like a EV Subaru Forester with 300+ mile range and still the same level of ground clearance and awd functionality as the ICE version and without losing much cargo space.

It is badge engineering. I really wish GM and others would stop putting charging ports behind the front wheel.

The real question is, how many units if GM contracted for is it allocated batteries before any other GM vehicle?

Seems dead on arrival with $60K base + dealer markups. You can buy a Model Y Performance for less. Without NACS I'd run far away.

Side profile at the C/D pillar looks kinda like a hearse...

Unlike GM's newer EVs, the ZDX will support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto! That's a key differentiator and a big deal for a lot of people.

He didn’t even test the 500 hp AWD lyriq. It’s super fast. No issues with Charging curve and it’s pure joy to drive such luxury. He is clearly biased.

That chrome design line is straight out of a hearse. Cannot unsee it. Love the car besides that one detail

@JoshuaMichail0 Год назад

With that downward to the rear swoop of chrome-ish trim on the side windows of the rear cargo area Acura should call it "the Hearse". Lol

Looks like the Chevy Equinox EV. Like exact body with the exception of the front grill

Kyle going full swing GM hater. Mdx interior is just out of chevy colorado. Copy car in better than original car.

Does it have the same issues you reported with the Lyriq

It looks to be a very nice SUB except one thing. He mentioned that it comes with air suspension and I don't like it. If you have a problem with air suspension, it's going to be a very expensive repair.

@s.patterson5698 11 месяцев назад

I own the new 2023 MDX and I can tell you that I wouldn't be buying the ZDX. The dash setup looks like GM and their dashboard has never been to my liking. There usec be a distinctive interior look to the Acura products, that is DEFINITELY not the case here and so besides being an EV that's a no for me also.

@adamnorton2012 11 месяцев назад

Great glimpse of the ZDX- thanks! Did you see anything other than the name that harkens back to the original ZDX? That was such a vehicle before its time. While the design was controversial, you could not deny that the V-6 and PAWS handling system was amazing. Even the aluminum center console was so cool and again, ahead of its time as it was designed to go completely dark making when you shut the car off, making everything look clean and asleep essentially. You started the car and the center console lit up with all white lighting, rising from the bottom of the console and traveling up. The car came alive with that and a nice rumble. Anyway, just wish if they used the ZDX name, they would have done more to connect it to the original vehicle. I don't see any styling cues inside or out, not even the cool looped pile carpets which had a really upscale feel.

there goes reliability.

I also can’t wait for the unveiling of the Honda Prologue, which I think will also use GM’s Ultium platform.

Is anyone else seeing a big blue hearse . . . ? I mean, the black rear panel with the silver swoosh? Anyone? I mean, I wouldn't get one in all black.

@stephensellers9033 Год назад

I like the blue color and overall style, but what’s with the two-tone trim? The trim would look much better if it were all black.

Just saw an announcement that Honda/Acura will be adopting the NACS.

@randomcheese1719 6 месяцев назад

the charge port door is definitely better on this than the Lyriq, but I have to disagree about the interior, the Lyriq is much better interior wise.

@newscoulomb3705 Год назад

7:52 It's not clear whether some of the OTA updates have already improved the LYRIQ's charging profile, but actual owners aren't reporting the same issues that Tom encountered. Even when plugging in a ~10%, I've seen reports from actual LYRIQ owners describing very similar charging profiles to what you saw when plugging in at 30%. GM does appear to use different charging profiles for different vehicle states (e.g., the charge profile when the car is powered on is different than when it is powered off), which could account for some of the differences. However, until I get an up-to-date version of the LYRIQ from GM for thorough testing, I can't really speak to what all those nuances might be.

@doncooper2344 Год назад

Kyle's obvious bias against GM makes him look pathetic. The ZDX is better because of the charge port door and ... wait for it ... the cup holders. On the charge port door, it works or it doesn't . If it works then the wobble, which admittedly looks weird, is irrelevant. If it works better than the manual charge port doors, then it's desirable. IIRC GM has always had manual charge port doors, so I'm assuming engineering/marketing believe this is superior. Time will tell.

@radzer0966 Год назад

I like this. Now if they priced the regular awd model with the MYLR then I bet they could sell a bunch. But being the base rwd is over 60k. I don’t see it doing well. I could see it selling like the Subaru.

@TeddyBearGaming999 Год назад

This is a more upmarket car than the model y. Honda prologue or Chevy blazer would be a better comparison

@radzer0966 Год назад

@@TeddyBearGaming999 in reality Acura isn’t upmarket and hasn’t been in a long time. They price upmarket but in normal times the discount is massive. You can get an integra for the same price as a civic si at some dealers right now. Acura is for the most part a forgotten brand.

I greatly appreciate your shows and am a huge Ev guy with a polestar and lightning ER. I don’t share your opinion on the cadi look, I think in keeping with the demographic cadi buyer the lyric is an attractive vehicle.
