Experience unbridled EV power when you visit Maus Acura of North Tampa for electrified Acura SUVs near you.
2025 Acura ZDX vs 2025 Lexus RZ
Lexus’s are made to look pretty, and we suppose it succeeds in that regard. But when it comes to a powerful and reliable ride, Acura builds are tough to beat. Even in a relatively new all-electric landscape, Acura continues to be a challenging competitor with the new 2025 Acura ZDX excelling on all counts. The Lexus RZ, despite being fresh off the line, still falls greatly behind where it matters.
Performance
Base-model electric motors are rarely this powerful. The 2025 Acura ZDX comes standard with a single motor putting out 358 horsepower. Elevate your ZDX to the A-Spec special for 490 HP or go all-out with the famous Acura Type S trim to get your ZDX to make 499 HP. Backing up to the A-Spec model (with rear-wheel drive, to be exact), the new 2025 ZDX can deliver up to 313 miles on a full charge. High performance and incredible mileage? It’s no wonder people are talking about the new Acura ZDX all around North Tampa.
201 horsepower standard, 308 HP max. That’s all the Lexus RZ has to offer. And we bet you’re thinking, it must be good on miles then. Right? Not even close. The latest Lexus RZ can only make up to 266 miles, which was considered a low rating even a couple of years ago. If you want the sportier trim, you’ll have to settle for less, with only 196 miles to spare. To recap, the Acura ZDX offers more miles and more horsepower than the Lexus RZ.
Safety Features
What better way to introduce a brand-new EV than by offering hands-free driving? That seems to be the latest trend with new cars nowadays, be it gas or electric. The new 2025 Acura ZDX supports AcuraWatch 360+, which enhances your adaptive cruise control to do its thing with no hands required. If you’re looking to get the new Acura ZDX as-is, you’ll still get some useful driver-assist features standard, like Blind-Spot Monitoring, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, and Lane Keep Assist with Departure Warning.
The new Lexus RZ may have a couple of parking features that you might not find in your average EV. But if you’re already a pro at parking, these features might not get much use anyway. As we said earlier, hands-free driving is the big thing in North Tampa right now. That’s something you can’t do without the right tech, and the Acura ZDX has it. Maybe Lexus will think to stay up to date on the RZ’s next iteration.
Interior
Acura is synonymous with high performance, but they’re just as adept in luxury. The 2025 Acura ZDX continues to deliver that promise of comfort and modern style. Fit your seat to you, not the other way around, with 16-way power adjustments that account for every angle. Enjoy soft leather at zero upcharge, and open up the panoramic sunroof to watch your authentic trim shine in the natural light. Stay on top of the latest tech with an 11.3-inch touchscreen compatible with wireless smartphone connectivity, all to easily listen to your favorite music over a 14-speaker B&O premium sound system. Everything you could ever want in your new performance-driven EV in North Tampa is waiting for you in the new 2025 Acura ZDX.
As we touched on earlier, we admit that Lexus has gotten their style down. It shows in the Lexus RZ’s authentic materials, glass panorama roof, and so on. But if you’re looking for an aesthetic that matches peak performance, the Acura ZDX’s interior layout makes more sense. There, you’ll really get the feeling that you’re driving an exhilarating car because you are. That’s the spirit of Acura, and it’s something that can’t be replicated. One drive is all you need to see what we mean.
Bottom Line
All-electric, powerful, eccentric. The new 2025 Acura ZDX effortlessly checks all of these boxes with the brand’s existing influence supporting its comeback as an EV model. The Lexus RZ has a long way to go before it can live up to its competitors’ aptitude for range and performance.
