Acura Says Its Type S EVs Will Be Exciting And Engaging

We then asked which other models, or at least, vehicle segments, would be first to get the EV treatment after the newZDX, but this information was withheld too. Nevertheless, Acura feels confident that the ZDX will be successful and is "targeting annual sales of roughly 30,000 units."

A Type S model was teased alongside the regular ZDX, which should help Acura hit those targets, but how will electrification and the Type S moniker coexist, especially as weight becomes even more of a concern with heavy battery packs?

"The second-genNSXhas clearly demonstrated the unique capabilities and benefits of electrified performance, with a pure focus on creating an exhilarating experience for the driver. Acura will continue to develop our vehicles in the electrified era with the goal of exciting and engaging drivers. Type S performance variants will take this a step further, beginning with an electrified ZDX Type S arriving in 2024."

However, we know that there are great performance benefits to individual wheel control through advanced torque vectoring, which is possible when an electric motor is placed on multiple wheels. We also know that it's pretty easy to increase performance through basic software upgrades.

But that still leaves us with the issue of excess weight, something that sporty Acuras have typically been very averse to. Hopefully, Acura doesn't overproliferate the market with Type S-badged EVs that are too bloated to be fun. We'll bring you more info as we get it.
