Honda Prepares Launch of Electric SUV Acura ZDX to Compete with BYD and Volvo, Promising High Performance Even in the Base Version and Advanced Technologies.

Honda’s new electric SUV has already been announced and promises to change the game against BYD and Volvo. This is because, in addition to being full of new technologies, power, and design, it is a great example of electrification. The model will hit the market in 2024.

Acura ZDX Electric SUV from Honda Delivers Over 300 Horsepower

Acura, Honda’s luxury car division, revealed its next launch at the Monterey Car Week: the new Acura ZDX electric SUV. This model marks the company’s debut among fully electric vehicles. Available in two versions (ZDX and ZDX Type S), Honda’s SUV will enter the global market in 2024 to compete with BYD and Volvo.

However, there is still no data confirming its arrival in Brazil. Although information is very limited, the media has already speculated some specifications. For example, the ZDX Type S is expected to come equipped with an engine of approximately 500 horsepower, while its base version should feature around 340 horsepower in its A-Spec.

SUV Electric Will Have a Price Equivalent to R$ 294,000 in Direct Conversion

Regarding the price, it is estimated that Honda’s SUV, the Acura ZDX, will have an initial cost of around US$ 60,000, equivalent to R$ 294,000 in direct conversion.

The ZDX Type S version is expected to be sold for around US$ 70,000, equivalent to R$ 343,000 in direct conversion, excluding taxes. The automaker plans innovation in the sales process by adopting an omnichannel digital model.

The start of pre-sales is scheduled for this year, with the first deliveries set for early 2024. Those interested should register on the automaker’s official website. More advance data and details about the reservation of the Acura ZDX can also be found on the page. The launch of Honda’s new SUV is not without reason, of course.

After all, the automaker must position itself in a scenario where BYD and Volvo are gaining prominence. Thus, even aimed at a limited audience, the new Acura ZDX will undoubtedly play an important role in this competition.

Volvo Brings New Electric SUV to the Brazilian Market

Everyone is waiting for the day when electric cars will have competitive prices with equivalent combustion cars. BYD is showing with the Dolphin that if the price is good, people will buy. However, it is not the only one, and even Volvo has launched the EX30 with prices starting at R$ 220,000 to explore what is currently the category of the least expensive electrics.

The EX30 is expected to start arriving in Brazil imported from China only in April and May of next year; however, this has not prevented nearly two thousand people from already making a reservation.

The model is capable of delivering 276 horsepower and 34.9 kgfm of torque. The difference lies in the battery pack capacity. The entry-level Core Single Motor version delivers 51 kWh, while the others deliver up to 69 kWh. Thus, the cheapest version goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds, while the other versions accomplish the task in 5.3 seconds.

The YouTuber Mark McCann bought a Bugatti Veyron for almost $1.2 million, but discovered that the supercar’s gearbox is so damaged that even Bugatti itself won’t accept to repair it, and the repair could cost a fortune.

Thinking about buying a used HB20? See why the 2015 model is still a crowd favorite, with cheap parts, easy-to-fix mechanics, a strong engine, and quick sales.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
