Slick styling, stunning performance, and an inviting, driver-focused interior—the TLX has all the makings of a perfect luxury sport sedan. Sweetening the deal further is advanced technology like Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system (SH-AWD) and adaptive suspension. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the 2023 Acura TLX such an exciting model!
3 Things to Love About the 2023 Acura TLX
1. Exhilarating Powertrain Options
The TLX’s base engine, a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 making 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, is thrilling enough on its own, but things get even more interesting when you move up to the Type S models. These high-performance versions of the car are equipped with a 3.0L twin-scroll turbo V6 that ups the figures to 355 horsepower and 352 lb-ft of torque. It’s enough grunt to get the TLX hustling from 0 to 60 in about five seconds.
Such impressive engines demand a speedy and precise transmission, and Acura delivers just that by completing the drivetrain with its 10-speed automatic. This transmission ensures there’s always plenty of power for quick takeoffs and passing on the highway. Switch it to SportShift manual mode and you’ll enjoy satisfying manual shifts with its steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
2. All-New Type S PMC Edition Trim
Inspired by the NSX, this model is built by hand at Acura’s Performance Manufacturing Center, the same facility that assembles the iconic supercar. It comes standard with the powerful V6 engine, SH-AWD, and a sport-tuned adaptive damper system that can firm up the suspension for incredible handling. Exclusive exterior features like exclusive badging, a carbon fiber rear spoiler, and Y-spoke 20-inch wheels further help this model stand out from the lineup.
Inside, the Type S PMC Edition proudly displays a PMC badge with a unique production number on the center console.
3. Expertly Crafted Interior
In keeping with the TLX’s sporty nature, its cockpit was designed with the intent of enhancing the driving experience. This can be seen in the careful placement of the vehicle’s controls, available flat-bottom steering wheel, and the way that the lines of the dashboard and doors appear to wrap around the driver. Aluminum accenting and open-pore wood add to the cabin’s luxurious feel.
A-Spec and Type S trims are available with perforated Milano leather sport seats and Ultrasuede interior trim with contrast stitching. As for infotainment and connectivity options, there’s iOS and Android smartphone integration, HD Radio, a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and an available ELS Studio 3D premium audio system. A voice recognition system and Siri Eyes Free help you access infotainment system and iPhone apps while you keep your eyes on the road.
On top of all these amazing features, the TLX is available at a much more affordable price than many of its rivals! Schedule a test drive with the latest model by contacting Open Road Acura of Wayne today!
