Acura TLX: The clear choice for performance
The 2019 Acura TLX V6 sedan offers exhilarating performance that puts it far ahead of the BMW 3-Series 330i. TLX comes standard with Precision All-Wheel Steer™ and Agile Handling Assist® to aid in cornering, while a 9-speed automatic transmission delivers a linear throttle response with no turbo lag. Luxury also comes standard on the TLX: heated front seats and a remote-operated power moonroof are just two of the features that add comfort and convenience to your daily drive.
A dramatic A-Spec® variant is also available on the 2019 Acura TLX, ensuring your ride looks just as powerful as what’s under the hood. Performance-driven cues from the Acura NSX elevate the impact of A-Spec: eye-catching features include round exposed dual exhaust outlets, new front lower intakes with round LED fog lights and dark chrome finish trim, and a piano-black rear decklid spoiler.
