Specifically, the 2024 ZDX comes integrated with Google Maps for EVs. This unique functionality enables owners to optimize their travel routes with charging in mind. It provides directions to charging stations along the journey, offering advice on charge duration and ensuring that drivers can plan their trips without worrying about running out of power.
However, Google Maps for EVs isn’t just a passive system; it actively interacts with specific ZDX systems. If the app detects a driver heading towards a DC fast-charging station, it can precondition the battery to reduce charging times, showcasing the extent of smart and proactive features the 2024 ZDX offers.
The integration of Google Assistant allows drivers to voice control numerous vehicle functions. This means you can make a call, set a reminder, adjust the cabin temperature, set your destination, and control media features, all without taking your hands off the steering wheel.
Raj Manakkal, who serves as the Assistant Vice President of Digital Services Development for American Honda Motor Co., Inc., expressed enthusiasm over Acura's transition toward a future dominated by digital and electric elements. He highlighted that their strategy to enhance customer experience involves marrying Google's embedded apps and services with the vehicle's own connectivity features. This integration aims to advance the enjoyment and productivity of owning an Acura.
Integrating Google's suite of technologies into Acura's offering doesn't end there. The ZDX will also feature a digital instrument display that comes standard behind the steering wheel, a huge touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and more. Plus, thanks to over-the-air updates, all the technology in the ZDX will stay up-to-date, offering a continually evolving and future-proof driving experience.
In addition to its impressive digital credentials, the ZDX is co-developed with GM and utilizes the American automaker's Ultium battery technology. This collaboration results in a powerful and efficient EV that doesn't compromise on performance or comfort.
Starting in 2024, the new ZDX and ZDX Type S will be sold exclusively online. This model signifies not just a technological revolution for Acura but also a shift in how vehicles are purchased and experienced by consumers.
