The production of the vehicle for the 2026 model year will start at the GM Spring Hill Assembly facility in Tennesssee this month, but Honda decided to cancel all future production on Tuesday, according to plant workers seen by CNBC.
A Honda spokesman confirmed the plans by referring to the market conditions for homes on Wednesday. Authorized, called the prologue collected by GM, another Honda branded house will continue to production in Mexico, he said.
“We can verify our product portfolio to end the production of Acura ZDX to better align our customers and market conditions as well as our long -term strategic goals.” He said. “ZDX played a valuable role for the Acura brand, and in the second half of 2026, we will build it next year with the arrival of the fully electric Acura RSX, which will be produced in the home center in Ohio.
Honda has sold approximately 19,000 ZDX models since August this year, including more than 11,000 vehicles in the United States last year.
GM refused to comment on the vehicle, which is a part of the company’s planning plans to scaling home production and technologies.
The message to the facility workers said that companies have aligned to better match the production of home production to a more slow demand for electric cars, and that it is the logic of shift rather than anything about the relationship between the quality of companies or products.
“We have a strong relationship with Honda for years and we look forward to working on future opportunities with Honda.” He said. “Honda’s decision is not a reflection of the skills of Spring Hill labor or GM’s devotion to Spring Hill.”
The message also said that the vehicle shift did not change the employment plans for GM’s facility. Since 2027, more engine production and gas -powered Chevrolet Blazer aims to add.
