A luxury crossover with seating for five, the 2013 Acura ZDX is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine that produces 300 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. Super handling AWD is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission to enable the ZDX to achieve an EPA estimated 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. Features include multi-view rear camera, Blind Spot Information System, HID headlights, front/rear parking sensors, push button ignition, steering wheel controls, USB audio interface, navigation, hands-free phone capabilities, and automatic temperature control. Safety is comprised of vehicle stability assist (VSA), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), forward collision warning, lane departure warning, advanced airbags and anti-lock braking (ABS). The ZDX is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.
2013 model year changes
For 2013, the Acura ZDX receives a new front grille, along with revised front and rear bumpers that integrate parking sensors. Power-folding side mirrors complete the exterior updates, while a high-contrast interior option is new. The ZDX continues to cut a dramatic shape and offer strong performance to the luxury buyer, though Acura will cease production of the car at the end of the model year.

Special features for 2013
Acura began with no intention of developing an economy car, though efficiencies are everywhere. The obvious competitors are the Infiniti FX37 and BMW's X6. The ZDX is priced directly between the two models, with interior technologies at the top of its specialized segment and luxury appointments well above the competition.
