Acura ZDX Base, A-Spec & Type S Trims

On the revived electric ZDX, A-Spec is the core luxury-focused trim. It has an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 18-speaker audio system, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic moonroof.

It was built both ways in the revived electric lineup. Some A-Spec examples use one motor and rear-wheel drive, while others use two motors and AWD. Checking the drivetrain is important when comparing used A-Spec models.

In the revived electric lineup, Type S is the performance-focused ZDX. It uses a 499-hp dual-motor AWD system, adaptive air suspension, large Brembo front brakes, hands-free highway driving technology, and upgraded front seats.

The electric Type S adds much more power, standard dual-motor AWD, adaptive air suspension, larger Brembo front brakes, hands-free highway driving technology, automatic parking assistance, and 16-way power front seats.

This top electric Type S specification keeps the same 499-hp powertrain and adds cabin and driver-display equipment. Key additions include a head-up display, digital rearview mirror, richer ambient lighting, and a rear 110-volt outlet.

No. Both electric Type S versions use the same 499-hp dual-motor AWD powertrain, adaptive air suspension, and Brembo front brakes. The upper version is distinguished by added display and cabin technology.

The A-Spec is the range-focused choice in the revived electric lineup. It gives up the Type S model’s extra power and chassis upgrades in favor of a better balance of driving range, comfort, and everyday usefulness.

Pick an electric Type S if acceleration and handling hardware matter most. Both Type S versions have the 499-hp dual-motor AWD system, adaptive air suspension, and Brembo front brakes; the Performance Wheel & Tire version mainly adds technology.

In the revived electric lineup, both Type S versions have Hands Free Cruise with the expanded Acura safety suite. The A-Spec does not include that Type S-specific system in the equipment described here.

The electric Type S versions have the most adjustable front seats. Their 16-way power seats include heating, ventilation, lumbar adjustment, thigh extensions, and adjustable side bolsters.

Across the revived electric lineup, key shared features include an 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an 18-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, ventilated front seats, and a panoramic moonroof.

No. The original 2010–2013 gasoline ZDX did not use the revived model’s A-Spec and Type S ladder. Earlier models used base, Technology, and Advance versions before the lineup was reduced to one fully equipped trim for its final year.

For most of the original era, the base, Technology, and Advance versions shared the same 300-hp V6, six-speed automatic, and AWD. Moving up mainly added navigation, premium audio, and driver-assistance equipment rather than a different engine.

Yes. In the original ZDX’s final model year, Acura reduced the range to one loaded trim. It included navigation, a multi-view rear camera, 10-speaker audio, ventilated Milano leather front seats, parking sensors, and added driver warnings.
