Honda's luxury arm, Acura, started selling its first all-electric model, the Acura ZDX, this quarter following the launch of the Honda Prologue.
The two A-Spec versions (RWD and AWD) of the Acura ZDX recently were listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s website, showing range and energy consumption ratings. The performance-oriented Acura ZDX Type S AWD is not yet listed.

2024 Acura ZDX
The ZDX is the first all-electric model from the Acura brand. Like the Honda Prologue, it's based on the General Motors' Ultium platform and is produced at GM's factory.
The ratings confirm the Acura ZDX A-Spec's EPA Combined range of respectively 313 miles (RWD) and 304 miles (AWD). The large 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack mainly drives the solid result.
However, because the energy consumption on the highway is slightly lower, we guess that the real-world result might be closer to 280-290 miles.
Meanwhile, the not-yet-listed Acura ZDX Type S has an EPA Combined range of 278 miles. That's probably mainly due to 22-inch wheels and performance tires instead of regular 20-inch (265/50 R20).
The Acura ZDX A-Spec RWD with 20-inch wheels' energy consumption, including charging losses, is estimated at 90 MPGe or about 374 watt-hours per mile (2.7 miles/kWh).
The all-wheel drive version consumes slightly more energy—87 MPGe: 387 Wh/mi (2.6 miles/kWh).
These results are very similar to the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq's ratings, produced in the same Spring Hill, Tennessee factory. Both models are equipped with 102-kWh battery.

Pricing
The Acura ZDX starts at a slightly higher price than the Cadillac Lyriq, although the Lyriq's entry-level trim might not be as well equipped. The base version has an MSRP of $64,500 plus a $1,350 destination charge.
The model is qualified for the full $7,500 federal tax credit thanks to local production.
