Acura ZDX RWD

Battery safety score
7.9/10How this is calculated

The EPA rates the 2026 Acura ZDX RWD at 327 miles combined and 36.9 kWh per 100 miles measured at the wall, which is 91 MPGe. City and highway split 355 and 293 miles, a 17 per cent drop on the highway.

Those figures come from the regulator and are used in the comparison tables, the efficiency and range rankings and the per-state charging costs on this site. The rest of the record is not yet sourced: usable battery capacity, DC peak power and the 10–80 per cent charging time have no published figure credited here, so this page does not state them. They will appear when they can be credited to a named source, and not before.

Where the car is actually sold. Fields left empty for a market render as "not sold here", never as zero.

Battery

Pack chemistry and construction. Usable capacity, not gross, is what the car can actually deliver.

Range & efficiency

EPA, WLTP and CLTC are different tests, not different opinions about one number. They sit side by side here and are never converted into one another.

Safety & risk

Crash ratings come from the testing bodies. The battery safety score is our own composite and its formula is published on the methodology page.

Projected battery capacity

Projected straight-line from 2.7% a year — the published rate for this vehicle class, not a measurement of this car. Nobody releases per-model degradation data: the one fleet dataset large enough to matter anonymises the models. Capacity loss is driven as much by calendar age as by mileage, which is why it is reported per year rather than per kilometre. Real packs vary with climate, how long the car sits at a high state of charge, and how much of its charging is done at high-power DC.
