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.

- Two engine choices: a 2.4L inline-4 paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic (with torque converter for smoother launches), or a 3.5L V6 paired with a 9-speed automatic for stronger acceleration. - Available SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) on V6 models, improving all-weather traction and cornering stability compared to front-wheel drive. - Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) available on some 4-cylinder models, helping the TLX feel more agile and stable during lane changes and cornering. - High-end safety and driver-assist tech availability, including AcuraWatch features on certain trims/packages (such as adaptive cruise control and collision mitigation braking). - Upscale interior for the class with available leather seating, a quiet ride, and a strong feature-per-dollar value in the used luxury market.
