2013 Acura ZDX - Cars.com News (blog)
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. The Acura ZDX's wild looks draw stares from young and old, but the flash can't cover up the fact that this SUV is impractical and, worse yet, not that fun to drive. These unfortunate attributes are likely the reason the ZDX has failed to sell well since it was introduced as a 2010 model, and why it will no longer be built after the last 2013s leave dealer lots. Are there redeeming qualities about the ZDX. And while a 300-hp, 3. 7-liter engine powers the ZDX, there's no escaping the Acura's hefty curb weight of more than 4,400 pounds. That's lighter than Acura's larger MDX SUV, but the ZDX doesn't feel sprightlier. In fact, at times it feels like it's driving over flypaper as you mash down on the accelerator. it just doesn't feel like it wants to get anywhere in a hurry. So … maybe the wide track and all-wheel drive make the ZDX a blast on twisty roads. At low speeds, the steering feel actually gets heavier, making it more laborious to navigate parking lots.
