It\u2019s quick, has some solid (GM) tech, and is spacious, but you couldn\u2019t shake the fact that it wasn\u2019t a true Honda\/Acura product. Well, it seems that the ZDX\u2019s time is over as Honda has&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/news\/a68035531\/acura-zdx-ev-suv-canceled-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confirmed to several outlets<\/a>&nbsp;that production of the ZDX has ended, but its cancellation doesn\u2019t mean that Acura&#8217;s future EV plans are dead in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">0:01 \/ 5:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Acura didn\u2019t disclose exactly why it decided to drop the ZDX, it did cite \u201cmarket conditions\u201d as part of its decision. While it\u2019s sold decently well, the EV tax credit and other incentives no doubt had a lot to do with those sales. The timing of the announcement coincidentally comes a few days before&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/features\/ev-tax-credit-dealership-discount-scam\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Federal EV tax credit program is scheduled to officially end<\/a>, which would have made selling it that much harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/acura-just-canceled-the-acura-zdx-ev\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"group\/card block w-full text-left @container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/acura-just-canceled-the-acura-zdx-ev\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/files\/689b80c3456c6a0002160b67\/004-acura-rsx-concept-web.jpg?w=768&amp;width=768&amp;q=75&amp;format=webp\" alt=\"004 Acura RSX Concept Web\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tariffs likely didn\u2019t have much to do with it as the ZDX is built at the same factory in the U.S. and on the same platform as the Chevrolet Blazer EV\u2014so it and the Honda Prologue are not subject to the recently added Japanese import tariffs despite being Japanese-branded EVs. But losing out of the $7,500 credit appears to be a hill too high for Acura. Given the ZDX news, speculation started to swirl about whether Honda would potentially do the same with the Prologue, which is basically a ZDX\/Blazer EV in Honda clothing, but Honda has confirmed that production of the Prologue will continue for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/acura-just-canceled-the-acura-zdx-ev\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a class=\"group\/card block w-full text-left @container\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/acura-just-canceled-the-acura-zdx-ev\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/files\/6840d7b23a2f8e00086ecb7b\/1-2025-acura-zdx-type-s-interior.jpg?w=768&amp;width=768&amp;q=75&amp;format=webp\" alt=\"1 2025 Acura ZDX Type S interior\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All is not lost on the EV front for Acura, however, far from it, thanks to the impending launch of the Acura RSX. First shown in prototype form this August,&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motortrend.com\/news\/acura-rsx-prototype-first-look-review\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the RSX will not only be an all-electric SUV<\/a>&nbsp;but a Honda-built product through and through. This means that many of the complaints we had about the ZDX will, hopefully, be solved by being a fully engineered Honda product. The RSX will be the first all-electric model to come out of Honda\u2019s new EV Hub in Ohio as part of its Honda 0 Series of global EVs. It will also feature the new Asimo operating system for infotainment, a full suite of advanced driver assist systems (ADAS), and enhanced personalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the ZDX now ended, Acura can turn its full attention to the RSX, the official launch of which should be happening soon, with production expected to begin sometime in 2026. There is a possibility that, with today\u2019s timing on the ZDX news, that we\u2019ll see a production intent version of the RSX as early as the L.A. auto show in November. We have also reached out to Acura for more information and comment on both the end of the ZDX and the RSX debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acura Just Canceled the ZDX EV, but the Brand&#8217;s Electric Story Isn\u2019t Over The ZDX&#8217;s demise comes as Acura prepares for the launch of the in-house built RDX.Justin BannerWriter MotorTrend StaffPhotographerSep 24, 2025 While it wasn\u2019t exactly&nbsp;our favorite Acura&nbsp;given that it wasn\u2019t really an Acura at all due to its use of a General Motors [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4278,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4277"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4279,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4277\/revisions\/4279"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
