The Acura electric vehicle had been produced by U.S. automaker General Motors (GM) for Honda at a manufacturing plant located in Tennessee. Production of the vehicle for the 2026 model year was scheduled to start this September, but Honda says it has “decided to cancel all future production.”
Honda cited market conditions for the cancellation of the Acura vehicle’s U.S. production. Another Honda electric vehicle called the Prologue that’s being assembled by General Motors will continue as planned at a plant in Mexico, said the company.
Strategic Goals
In a statement, Honda said: “To better align our product portfolio with the needs of our customers and market conditions, as well as our long-term strategic goals, we can confirm the Acura ZDX has ended production.”
Honda sold about 19,000 Acura ZDX electric vehicles within the U.S. over the past year. General Motors has not commented publicly on the canceled production. The Acura ZDX was part of GM’s plans to scale its own electric vehicle production and technologies in its home market of America.
