With Google Assistant, Acura ZDX owners will have hands-free control over various functions, such as making calls, sending texts, adjusting temperature, and navigating to destinations. Google Play will provide access to a wide range of third-party apps for music, podcasts, and audiobooks, similar to smartphone functionality.
The Acura ZDX will also feature a digital driver instrumentation display, a large center touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and Acura’s first pocket-type wireless smartphone charger. Additionally, the vehicle will benefit from over-the-air software updates, enabling continuous improvements and enhancements.
