As we wrote when the ZDX made its debut in March 2009, “The immediate reaction to the ZDX is that this is Honda’s take on the BMW X6”. In reality the Acura design was near sign-off when the X6 concept appeared at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, but clearly the BMW’s debut must have caused quite a reaction from the ZDX design team - it being so similar, sharing both SUV and coupe genes.
