Acura TLX: Born to Perform
A luxury car should never make you choose between power or handling. The Acura TLX comes standard with Precision All-Wheel Steer™ and Agile Handling Assist® to aid in cornering, while an 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission plus torque converter delivers a linear throttle response with no turbo lag. Meanwhile, the A4 sits content with its conventional 7-speed DCT, requiring a turbocharger to generate power. Compared to the A4, the larger displacement engine of the TLX does not require turbo power and still boasts 206 horsepower.
