About the 2013 Acura ZDX
1st generation (2010-2013), final year with a light front-end update and a one-trim lineup.
Acura positioned the ZDX as a design-led luxury crossover with coupe-like styling, standard AWD, and upscale comfort features. Its main appeal was combining a dramatic fastback shape, premium interior materials, panoramic glass roof, and everyday crossover usefulness in a package that looked more distinctive than a traditional midsize luxury SUV. For most buyers, the ZDX was about style and exclusivity first, with strong V6 power and all-weather traction built in.
Acura positioned the 2013 ZDX as a design-focused luxury crossover with coupe-like styling and one fully equipped interior. Every example has a 300-hp V6, AWD, a panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated Milano leather front seats, navigation, and a 10-speaker premium audio system.
