If you have always loved the Acura ZDX, you should consider making this the year you come to your Largo area Acura dealership to buy one.  The 2013 Acura ZDX will be the last year for this model.  The ZDX is a midsize crossover hatchback and makes a good family vehicle.

2013 Acura ZDX Performance and Power

The Acura ZDX offers a 3.7 liter, V6 engine.  It has very sharp and precise handling thanks to the advanced all-wheel drive system.  The engine puts out 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque with the 6 speed automatic and manual shift control transmission.

You can expect to get about 16 miles per gallon fuel efficiency in the city and 23 miles per gallon the highway.

Trim Levels and ZDX Options

Unlike other vehicles with multiple trim levels, the 2013 Acura ZDX keeps it simple with a single trim level.  With the single trim level, however, you pretty much have everything you need and it all comes standard. The vehicle has room for five people and comes standard with 19 inch wheels, front and rear parking sensors to reduce accidents caused by blind spots, automatic xenon headlights, foglights, power liftgate, panoramic sunroof and power-folding and heated outside mirrors.

Additional standard features include auto-dimming rearview mirror, a keyless ignition and entry, comfortable leather upholstery, 8-way power front seats with heating and ventilation and driver memory settings, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

You’ll get your music on with a USB/iPod interface, satellite radio, CD player and an auxiliary jack.

Interior Design of the 2013 Acura ZDX

Inside the Acura ZDX, drivers are presented with technology interspersed with cool surfaces.  It does not present the exact appearance you would expect in a luxury car, but there is no mistaking the quality of materials used.  The gear selector is in the middle of the front seats, and the center console divides the front seats giving the driver and passenger each their own cocoon-like cockpit areas.

The backseat has limited space because of the sloping roofline, so you may find it best suitable for small adults or children.  For extra space in the cargo area you can put the backseats down to increase the cargo area from 26 cubic feet to 56 cubic feet.

2013 Acura ZDX Safety Considerations

You’ll feel confident in your safety level when driving the ZDX due to the antilock brakes, front seat airbags, side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags, stability and traction control and active front head restraints to reduce whiplash injuries.  A forward collision warning system and lane-departure warning system come standard.
