2021 Acura TLX A-Spec
.............................
The regular TLX comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is the standard configuration, but every version can be equipped with SH-AWD, which shuffles power among the wheels to improve agility and traction. Every TLX also features a 10-speed automatic transmission, but we're disappointed that it didn't hold onto gears or promptly respond to paddle-shift inputs during spirited driving sessions. Likewise, our test car's two-ton curb weight diminished its acceleration times. While it hit 60 mph in 5.9 seconds, that's slower than similar setups in this segment and even the less powerful, albeit lighter, Honda Accord 2.0T we tested. Still, the TLX's terrific chassis tuning made it very entertaining to drive and proved that Acura can still build a sports sedan. While we wish the company would offer a set of summer tires on the regular TLX to maximize its performance potential, the forthcoming high-performance Type S model looks to rectify this shortcoming as well as the power deficiency. It alone gets the newly developed turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, which will generate 355 ponies and 354 lb-ft.

The EPA estimates the front-drive TLX will earn up to 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. Models equipped with SH-AWD see those figures drop to 21 mpg city and 29 highway. For comparison, the Acura's ratings closely align with front-drive-based rivals such as the VW Arteon. However, the all-wheel-drive, four-cylinder 3-series is significantly more efficient. We haven't tested the TLX on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route yet, which is part of our extensive testing regimen and allows us to evaluate its real-world mpg.

Inside, the TLX has an expressive design that highlights its sporty character. These include attractive analog gauges and a prominent rotary drive-mode selector in the middle of the dashboard. Solidified by Acura's excellent build quality, the TLX also boasts nicer cabin materials than its predecessor, including open-pore wood and real aluminum. Although the sedan feels spacious from side-to-side, the back seat feels smaller than some competitors in this class. Still, its highly adjustable front seats and excellent forward visibility reward drivers. The TLX also offers myriad interior colors, distinct leather upholstery, and desirable features. The latter includes a large 10.5-inch head-up display and customizable ambient-lighting settings that are each named after iconic driving destinations and racetracks, such as "Pacific Coast" and "Suzuka".

Every TLX features a 10.2-inch infotainment system that's primarily controlled through a touchpad on the center console. Some functions can also be manipulated via steering-wheel buttons and physical controls next to the touchpad. There's also a padded resting place for your wrist below the touchpad that makes it more comfortable to operate. The TLX comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Those who want the fanciest ELS sound system and a wireless charging pad will have to opt for the Advance package.

The 2021 TLX hasn't been crash tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Still, every model comes standard with AcuraWatch, which includes a host of driver-assistance technology. The sedan also has new equipment, such as traffic-sign recognition and a driver-awareness monitor.

STARTING AT $38,525
