Tallahassee Acura Dealer Announces Interior of the Year Award

The Acura ZDX has won the Ward’s Auto 2010 Interior of the Year award for design breakthrough as announced by Proctor Acura, the leading Tallahassee Acura dealership.

Ward’s Automotive Group has provided auto industry news, data and analysis for nearly 80 years and its interior awards are the only in North America that recognize excellence in automotive interiors.

“For years, the focus on safety and functionality has given us drab, uninspired vehicle interiors,” said Ward’s AutoWorld Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. “This year’s winners show style and original design is becoming as important inside the vehicle as it already is to the sheet metal outside.”


The interior’s high-quality materials, visionary touches and attention to detail are just some features cited by Ward’s judges in their analysis. They showed special appreciation for the ZDX’s panoramic sunroof, which lets light pour onto the deeply grained leather.
