I recently had the incredible opportunity to take the all-electric Acura ZDX on an extensive road trip from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area to Hagerstown, Maryland, and onward to Ohio. My destination: Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, where I engaged with leaders at their Hamilton Advanced Manufacturing Hub—
An institution now partnering with our platform to transform learning in advanced manufacturing.
Throughout this journey, the Acura ZDX impressed with its cutting-edge features, seamless technology integration, and long-range electric performance. With an estimated range of nearly 300 miles on a full charge, the ZDX gave me the confidence to travel long distances with ease. Charging was convenient and accessible along the way, demonstrating how far EV infrastructure has come.
One of the standout features of the ZDX is its advanced driver-assist technology. Equipped with lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and semi-autonomous driving capabilities, the ZDX makes long drives safer and more comfortable. Acura’s integration of Google Built-In adds another layer of convenience, enabling intuitive access to navigation, entertainment, and voice control via Google Assistant.
Arriving at the University of Miami of Ohio’s Advanced Manufacturing Hub was a glimpse into the future—still under construction but already inspiring. Our team even had the chance to present our venture during a demo day, highlighting how innovation and education can intersect meaningfully.
Acura’s deep manufacturing roots in Ohio, alongside Honda’s longstanding presence as a major employer in the state, made this journey feel all the more connected to the automotive ecosystem.
The ZDX isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a statement about the future of driving, sustainability, and intelligent design. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or visiting future-facing institutions, the Acura ZDX is ready to lead the way.
