Phenomenal performance and premium luxury are the defining characteristics of the 2025 Acura TLX. This incredible sport-tuned luxury sports sedan zooms down the street in style and packs enough power for a thrilling driving experience each time you get behind the wheel. Explore why the TLX is the best sports sedan on the road today.
Beneath the TLX hood, you will find a lightweight 2.0-liter turbocharged aluminum-alloy four-cylinder motor. This mono-scroll turbocharged engine produces 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque for outstanding efficiency and acceleration. With a 10-speed automatic transmission supporting the engine, the base TLX gets 22 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the interstate.
While the entry-level TLX Technology is equipped with a front-wheel drivetrain, the A-Spec and Type S upper trims have a standard SH-AWD system. This signature sports transmission from Acura is specially designed to optimize dry-road stability and handling. The Super Handling AWD unit continuously adjusts the vehicle’s weight distribution, powertrain output, and traction to meet your driving demands.
Key Engineering Features
The TLX is equipped with Agile Handling Assist, a special system that enhances cornering control, so the TLX mimics the feel and handling of racetrack cars. Agile Handling Assist builds off the stability of Vehicle Stability Assist to actively engage the brakes on the inner wheel to smoothly take corners and road curves at high speeds.
The TLX also has an Integrated Dynamics System, which accents the 10-speed automatic transmission with four unique driving modes that can be toggled on the center console dial. The COMFORT driving mode smooths out the throttle and speed for a softer ride feel, while the NORMAL driving mode is ideal for everyday suburban travel. The SPORT driving mode increases power steering assistance and aggressive acceleration. The INDIVIDUAL driving mode allows drivers to customize throttle, shifting, and steering settings.
Key Driver Assistance Technology
The engineering under the hood of the TLX is complemented by advanced driver-assistance safety technology via AcuraWatch software. Road Departure Mitigation works by actively identifying visible lane markers, warning the driver when the TLX drifts beyond lane markers, and intervening with steering and braking support to keep the sports sedan in its current traffic lane.
Upper models are equipped with a Surround-View Camera System. This 360-degree camera system allows drivers to select different camera views to show specific angles, such as rear-only, side passenger, and front-only. Front and rear parking sensors are also standard for this sports sedan, so you can avoid bumping into other vehicles, shopping carts, and poles when you park.
The Acura TLX revolutionizes sporty handling with smart engineering features that support stability, acceleration, and handling. Drop by Grubbs Acura in Grapevine, TX to take a test drive today.
