Acura TLX Review: Has Acura Got its Spark Back?

Right after Acura came into existence in 1986, it was introduced in the American and Canadian car markets. Parent company Honda wanted car buyers in the North American region to have access to cars that were both luxurious and sporty. However, after the initial flying start, Acura meandered quite a bit for several years. Until now.

Acura TLX Features

Features are where the Acura TLX absolutely shines. It has got enough techno-wizardry to send anyone who has got a phobia with using technology scuttling back to the middle ages! The car has more sensors and electronics than a light aircraft, and enough toys to keep you engaged all day long.

The TLX has 4 driving modes of Economy, Normal, Sport and Sport+ that the driver can switch between in a jiffy. These settings alter the steering and gearbox behaviour, and also change the throttle response of the car. Passengers also get to play with an 8 inch touchscreen infotainment system, dual zone automatic climate control, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, LED headlight clusters, a sunroof, alloy wheels and so on.

Powertrain

Acura has put the TLX on sale with two engine options. The first is a 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder gasoline motor that delivers 206 hp while the second is a larger 3.5 liter V6 that makes 290 hp. The former comes hooked up to an 8 speed, dual clutch automatic gearbox and it has all wheel steering as standard. On the other hand, the 3.5L V6 version channels its power through a 9 speed automatic transmission and buyers can choose between all wheel steering and 4WD.

Safety

Acura has left no stone unturned in their quest to make the TLX sedan as safe as possible. Blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, vehicle stability assist, and a suite of other driver assist measures called AcuraWatch, all come together to give the Acura TLX a 5 star safety rating from the NHTSA.
