General Motors' Ultium Platform underpins a wide range of EVs in the GM stable, from the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Equinox EV through to the all-out Hummer EV. It also powers two vehicles sold under the Honda/Acura badge: the Honda Prologue, and the Acura ZDX. Today we're putting the highest-spec version of that car - the Acura ZDX Type S - through its paces. And we're eager to find out one thing: Is it really a Type S? Or something else entirely. 00:00 - Introduction - Music: Mansij- Kiwi Juice 01:13 - Montage: Music - Dawncall- Enchanted Woods 02:14 - We had TWO cars to drive! 05:05 - What's behind a subscription/paywall 06:38 - Apple Car Play and Android Auto are standard 07:21 - Hands Free operation 11:51 - Interior feel and seating 15:08 - Drive Modes 16:36 - A very heavy car. 17:57 - Power and specs 19:11 - Kate doesn't enjoy the suspension. 20:27 - It doesn't feel AWD 22:23 - Hurt by that wheel choice? 22:52 - Brake test 23:45 - Easily upset chassis 24:24 - We all thought the same... 25:34 - Great large cup holders...but... 27:27 - A tough sell 28:34 - This isn't the Acura of the 90s. 29:56 - Less Bling, More Zing required 31:45 - There are better cars for the price 34:07 - It's a car for existing Acura customers, not conquest buyers 35:21 - Our final grading 35:56 - Thanks, and Goodbye!
