Driving range per charge is also slightly different between the two luxury electric crossovers. The 2024 Acura ZDX offers 325 miles of driving on a single charge for the RWD single-motor A-spec trim, or 315 miles for the A-Spec AWD. The Type S and Type S with 22-inch wheels are rated at 288 miles and 289 miles of range respectively.
