When it comes to the best electric cars, the BEV3 platform from General Motors continues to impress me in more ways than one. That’s because it’s the architecture behind some of my favorite EVs this year, like the Cadillac Lyriq, Honda Prologue, and Chevrolet Equinox EV. Now I can add the Acura ZDX Type S to that list because it’s the latest one to use the GM’s BEV3 platform.
You could say it’s the luxury version of the Honda Prologue, which has a more modest starting cost of $47,400. In contrast, the 2024 Acura ZDX Type S starts out at $73,500 — and after driving it for a week, I can say that it’s one of the most exhilarating EVs I drove this year.
