Acura TLX: Born to Perform
A luxury car should never make you choose between power or handling. The 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. Conversely, the Lexus IS requires a turbocharger to generate power. The larger displacement engine of the TLX does not require turbo power, and still boasts 206 horsepower. Compared to the Lexus IS Turbo, the fuel economy ratings2 are better on TLX, meaning you really can have it all.
A dramatic A-Spec® variant is also available for the 2020 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.
