Performance is in our DNA, and we believe it’s best achieved when the car responds instantly and instinctively to the driver. When you no longer have to think about asserting control, and instead feel it. The rush. The exhilaration. The sensation of feeling simultaneously one with the car and road. It’s what driving was meant to be. And it’s what Precision Crafted Performance is all about.

This is the 2018 Acura TLX. And this is how we make it.

DIFFERENT BY

DESIGN

From the beginning, it’s been our goal to create performance vehicles with an unrivaled level of precision. Every detail meticulously crafted, and all with the single-minded goal of designing the world’s most cutting-edge, experience-boosting, driver-first performance vehicles.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

Inspired by the Acura Precision Concept, the 2018 TLX was reimagined to reflect the bold and distinctive future of Acura vehicles. Highlighted by our new Diamond Pentagon Grille and featuring a low, wide stance that prioritizes precision handling, the aggressively redesigned TLX delivers a sporty and modern look that speaks to the exhilarating performance to be had behind the wheel.

V-6 ADVANCE

The V-6 with Advance Package provides even more elevated design features, such as 18-inch, pewter-gray, machine-finished, fifteen-spoke wheels; LED fog lights; a body-colored rear spoiler; and rectangular dual-exhaust outlets.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The cockpit of the 2018 TLX was designed to support the driver and front passenger by creating a personal sanctuary where every performanceinspired detail is deliberate and intuitive. The center stack features two display screens, one dedicated to phone, navigation, and information, and a second that is touch-friendly and controls audio and climate functions.

Available premium sport seats with contrast stitching and piping details provide ample support when cornering and comfort when cruising, while the V-6 with Advance Package delivers heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and white ambient cabin accent lighting that creates an environment for an unmatched driving experience.

A SPEC

TAKE

CONTROL

While the TLX’s available 290-hp V-6 and 206-hp inline-4 definitely get it done in a straight line, the TLX was built for the corners. We believe cars should respond instantly and instinctively to the driver’s input, and with innovative handling technologies such as Precision All-Wheel Steer,™ available Super Handling AllWheel Drive,™ and Agile Handling Assist,® the 2018 TLX delivers a direct connection to both car and road.
