Acura TLX vs Lexus IS Turbo Performance: Advantages Come Standard
2017 Acura TLX Sedan
with P-AWS®
2017 Lexus IS Turbo RWD Sedan
Performance is about more than just horsepower. It’s about how you handle it. And this complete approach to performance should come standard, not cost you thousands. TLX comes standard with Precision All-Wheel Steer™, Agile Handling Assist® to aid in cornering, and an 8-speed Dual Clutch automatic transmission plus torque converter. And TLX’s fuel economy ratings4 are better than the IS Turbo, meaning you really can have it all.
Looking for more horses? The TLX is also available with a potent 9-speed, 290-hp V6 with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™. For those who desire greater power, and even greater control.
It’s rare that we discover a 4-cylinder engine that rivals a V6 for vibration-free smoothness, lag-free acceleration and quiet running. Acura’s 2.4 Liter twin-cam, direct injected i-VTEC 4-cylinder does all the aforementioned without protest and does so while sipping gasoline.

Acura TLX vs Lexus IS: More luxury bang for your buck
What comes standard on TLX will raise your Lexus IS Turbo price by thousands.
Attractively stylish, impeccable and thoughtfully detailed, loaded with useful technology, beautifully finished, the exquisite 2016 Acura TLX will be wonderful for buyers but perhaps not so amusing for the competition.

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)9
TLX’s Lane Keeping Assist System uses forward-facing cameras to keep the car centered and guard against drift, gently guiding the car back to the middle of a detected lane.
