Overview

The 2015 Acura TLX is a premium midsize sedan designed to blend sporty handling with everyday comfort and strong value versus German rivals. It debuted for the 2015 model year as the all-new TLX, effectively replacing the TL and TSX in Acura’s lineup. Ideal for commuters and small families who want a refined cabin, available all-wheel drive, and a reputation for long-term durability, the TLX sits as Acura’s core luxury sedan. It’s a smart choice for buyers who want a well-equipped car without the higher ownership costs often associated with European brands.

Key Features
