Acura's new pure electric vehicle ZDX model has been launched overseas, and the new car is built using the American car company General Motors' Autonen platform, which has a stronger mixed flavor of the United States and Japan.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the design concept of electrification in the front face, the diamond-shaped large-mouth grille has evolved into a sealed panel, the outer ring is wrapped with delicate light strips, and the left and right sides are still flat headlight groups, of course, it is flatter than the Acura fuel car, which is more sharp and sharp. The front bumper part has a three-section hollow decoration, the whole is actually a rectangular silhouette, but it is divided by a silver decorative strip in addition to three parts, and there is a special air intake above to match it, which looks very individual.
The side parking of the body is a bit bland and has a standard boxy shape, you can say that it looks like an MDX, or you can say that it looks like a Honda Prologue, in short, there is not much streamlining and sporty styling. The roof is slightly down, with a thick luggage rack, the A-pillar leads to an additional decorative strip, which is the finishing touch, the hidden door handle framed doors show the unique understanding of American cars, and the charging port under the A-pillar is the signature element of the Autoneng platform, and the more interesting thing is that the very thick white decoration on the side skirts makes the overall body form a three-color layout, which is more lively, and the large-size wheels will not be absent.
At the rear, the roof has a small spoiler, which is not very high-profile, and the rear windshield has a large angle, leading to a protruding style. The platform tailgate, the taillights still have a flat spoon-type red light strip, which is quite concise, the tail box line is slightly concave, and the bottom is highlighted again, and the rear bar part has a complex black decoration, so that the style of the vehicle is unified. Interior part, the new car is a big shortcoming, the main thing is that the Honda flavor is too strong, if you cover the car logo, no one can see that it is an Acura model, at first glance it is a large Civic or a thickened version of the Accord suspension, floating large-size LCD screen with LCD instrument panel to form a dual-screen system. The front area of the armrest box also has no Acura's signature double-knob layout, and has become a simple wireless charging panel for mobile phones with double cup holders.
The air conditioning control area is unpretentious, and the center console does not have any curved shape, just a simple air conditioning outlet, and the steering wheel may have a little Acura flavor, but that's all. Of course, the metal accelerator pedal is everywhere with the punching process and other elements will not be absent, how much reminds some consumers that the car is Acura or Type S model identity, but it is still not very tasteful, the contrasting interior color adds a sense of new energy, not to mention that compared with domestic new energy vehicles, it is compared with potential competitors in the American market, Cadillac, Lincoln brand and other models have obvious backwardness.
In terms of power, after all, it is a high-end version of the Autonen platform, and it is a Type S still has quite strong performance, equipped with front and rear dual motors composed of electronically controlled four-wheel drive system, maximum power 506 horsepower, maximum torque 738 Nm, in the United States market is already quite a good performance, of course, the entry version of 363 horsepower rear single motor can also fully meet the demand, matched with a 102 kWh lithium battery pack, pure electric range EPA more than 500 km, what kind of performance can be seen in the future, it is worth looking forward to.
