Don’t call it a CUV, crossover, or sports wagon. “The ZDX is truly a luxury performance coupe – plus,” said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. “The emotional coupe styling coupled with a luxurious and dramatic interior and surprising versatility, allows the ZDX to define its own segment and attract an entirely new customer.”

Officially unveiled at the NY Auto Show, the segment bending ZDX embraces stunning coupe-like styling and great utility, with a truly commanding road presence. Tired of being referred to as re-badged Hondas and embracing conservative, non-offensive styling, Acura has carried the DNA of the controversial 2009 TL to the ZDX with the intention of breaking new ground for Acura in the areas of provocative styling, contemporary luxury and meticulous refinement.

From what we can see of the interior of the ZDX, the cockpit seems to be a direct lift from the 2009 TL, with the exception of the white leather replacing the carbon-fiber-esque trim, giving more of a luxury feel.

“From the very first sketch of the ZDX, I wanted to create an emotional vehicle that challenged conventional thinking of what a sports coupe should be,” said Michelle Christensen, ZDX exterior designer. “My goal was to create a strikingly beautiful exterior, and use that attraction to help draw you into the rich interior.”
