    2021 Model Redesign Year
    The sleek TLX is larger than competing compact sports sedans, yet it isn't any roomier. The standard 272-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and 10-speed automatic make for an energetic pairing but return an unimpressive 23 mpg overall. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional. A sporty Type S version with AWD uses a stronger 355-hp, 3.0-liter turbo V6 and is quite capable when the road gets twisty. While the TLX's ride is comfortable and handling is nimble, there's too much road and engine noise, undermining its premium aspirations. The front seats are supportive, but the rear seat is tight, and the car's low stance hurts cabin access.
    The touchpad-based infotainment system is very distracting to use.

    2021-Present

    2021 Model Redesign Year
    The redesigned for 2021 TLX is an sleek sedan that's larger than the competition but not roomier. The standard 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic and together feel energetic. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional; the more powerful Type S only gets AWD. The ride is quite comfortable and handling is nimble, but the driving experience is underwhelming. Road and engine noise undermine the premium pretense. Drivers interact with the infotainment display via a touchpad.
    We found this system very distracting and unintuitive to use. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane centering assistance, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assistance are standard. Initially the Technology package was required to get blind spot warning, but it became standard with a refresh in 2024. The refresh also brought a larger infotainment screen with quicker processing and, according to Acura, a quieter cabin. 2025 is the final year for the TLX.

    2015-2020

    2015 Model Redesign Year
    The TLX is Acura's best sedan, but it still doesn't quite measure up to the competition. It's available with either a four- or a six-cylinder engine; all-wheel drive is only available with the V6. The 2.4-liter uses an eight-speed automatic that delivers quick, direct shifts and contributes to the very good 27 mpg overall. The V6 is a gem, with plenty of power, but its nine-speed automatic shifts roughly and uses an annoying pushbutton shifter. Handling is responsive, but not sporty, although the ride is quite comfortable. The cabin is quiet, but rear-seat room is so-so.
    Featuring two different screens, the infotainment system is unintuitive to use. A generous roster of advanced safety systems includes front-collision mitigation, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitors. A 2018 update makes the AcuraWatch suite of safety equipment standard, as well as adding luxury features and tweaking the suspension and steering.
