Acura ZDX : Interior
The ZDX’s cabin is one of its most attractive aspects for front passengers. The control layout shares the same elements as other Acura products, notably the MDX, but the Monolith center console, which has turned black, and the sumptuous hand-stitched leather trim on the dash, center console, and door panels are unique. Even the base model has its fair share of electronic toys, and the Technology and Advanced packs add even more goodies, but the addition of relevant extra buttons complicates the look of the instrument cluster.
