Fatest and Best Performance from 2011 Future Cars
The ZDX is the first vehicle designed entirely at Honda’s $15 million Acura Design Studio in Torrance, California. The ZDX shares many design cues with the controversial TL sedan, though the execution is thankfully much less cartoonish. Overall length is 192.4in, and overall width is 78.5in. It rides on a 108.2in wheelbase and stands 61.8in tall.
The rakish roofline is key to the ZDX’s sports coupe pretensions. The rear door handles have been hidden to emphasise the coupe-like profile. The roof features black-tinted glass panels which continue right through the backlight and onto the vertical surface of the rear hatch, just like an old CRX.
The ZDX will likely be available with the punchy 305-hp 3.7-liter V-6 offered in the TL when it goes on sale this fall. The engine will be mated to an all-new six speed automatic transmission with a sequential sport-shift mode. All weather traction is courtesy of Honda’s complex, heavy but effective Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system.
