The Best Electric Models of 2024: Why the ZDX Outperforms the Tesla Model Y

The Best Electric Models of 2024: Why the ZDX Outperforms the Tesla Model Y

There’s no shortage of excitement in the electric SUV scene, and two contenders are consistently stealing the spotlight: the 2024 Acura ZDX and the 2024 Tesla Model Y. Both offer a compelling blend of electric performance and modern luxury, but it’s the ZDX that truly stands out, modernizing what an electric SUV can be.

Here’s a breakdown of the key reasons why the ZDX outshines the Model Y, proving that Acura’s commitment to innovation and driver experience is second to none.

Power Up: ZDX’s Charging Advantage

While both vehicles offer fast-charging capabilities, the Acura ZDX brings efficiency and practicality into focus. In just about 42 minutes, the ZDX can go from 20% to 80% battery charge—and it doesn’t shy away from long trips where quick charging is essential.

Tesla Model Y may potentially be faster, but with the ZDX, charging times are predictable and convenient, making it a smoother experience, especially on long journeys.

Performance: The ZDX Means Business

Under the hood, the Acura ZDX flexes serious muscle with its available dual-motor AWD configuration that pushes up to 500 horsepower in the Type S trim. Compare that to the Model Y’s peak of 456 horsepower in its Performance variant, and you can see why the ZDX is built for drivers who want a serious, sporty experience. The ZDX’s power delivers a thrilling, responsive drive that feels as poised on city streets as it does on winding country roads.

Ground Clearance and Versatility: Upgrade Your Drive

The ZDX’s generous ground clearance of 7 inches, paired with its rugged 20- or 22-inch wheels, makes it a reliable choice for those who venture beyond smooth asphalt. The Tesla Model Y, with its 6.8 inches of clearance, is lower to the ground and, while capable, isn’t designed for the same level of diverse terrain.

In the ZDX, you’re in control, whether you’re conquering rocky backroads or urban streets. It’s truly an adaptable vehicle that’s as versatile as it is powerful.

Space and Luxury: Comfort Takes the Front Seat

Inside the ZDX, luxury meets practicality with 28 cubic feet of cargo space and refined touches, including Milano leather-trimmed seats, an 18-speaker B&O® sound system, and a panoramic moonroof. Tesla’s Model Y provides just 12.8 cubic feet of cargo space when configured as a seven-seater, and its cabin design is minimalistic, yet lacks some of the premium touches you’ll find standard in the ZDX.

Acura has clearly crafted a cabin that is functional and gorgeous, a space where comfort and quality enhance every drive.
