The ZDX Type S, boasting the title of Acura’s most powerful SUV to date, cranks up the volts with a dual-motor AWD system, setting buyers back at least $73,500 (INR 61.08 lakh). These prices don’t factor in any potential government incentives, leaving room for a more budget-friendly zap.

Tech enthusiasts will be amped to know that the ZDX comes packed with the latest gadgets, including Google integration and wireless smartphone compatibility, with the added bonus of Bang & Olufsen luxury audio.
Performance-wise, the ZDX promises a thrilling ride. The A-Spec version delivers 340 horsepower from its rear-mounted motor. For those craving more power, a dual-motor, AWD option is available. DC Fast Charging capability ensures you’re back on the road in a flash, adding about 81 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
