Acura TLX: The clear choice for performance
The all-new Acura TLX offers exhilarating performance that puts it far ahead of the BMW 530i. Its VTEC® Turbo 2.0-liter engine boasts 272 horsepower3 and 280 lb-ft of torque4, giving you more muscle than the 5 Series. Standard paddle shifters put control of all 10 gear ratios at your fingertips. And thanks to its double wishbone front suspension, ultra-rigid body structure, and a new electro-servo braking system—adapted from the NSX supercar—the new TLX is also the best handling Acura sedan yet.
Compared to the BMW 530i, comfort and convenience come standard on the TLX with Advance Package: heated and ventilated front sport seats, a surround view camera, wireless charging, and remote engine start are just some of the features that enhance your daily drive.
