Whereas the ZDX is a reasonably standard-style SUV, which is able to see deliveries early subsequent 12 months, the Electrical Imaginative and prescient design examine takes the form of a supercar. The proportions are ultra-low, and the design language is curvaceous quite than angular. Exterior lighting is used as a design component and is color-changing.
Whereas the ZDX rides on a Basic Motors platform (the identical one which underpins the Cadillac Lyriq), the idea shouldn’t be believed to have been designed round a particular production-ready platform.
As a substitute, Acura design chief Dave Marek describes it as a high-performance mannequin that “is inspiring everybody in our studio to push the boundaries.” He did not describe it as a primary step towards a next-generation NSX, however we’re free to invest.
