2015 Acura TLX | 5 Reasons to Buy | Autotrader

- Acura once had two entry-level luxury sedans: the roomy TL and the compact TSX. But why build two when one will do? The new 2015 Acura TLX replaces both models, and with its in-between size, it gives you most of the TL's luxury and all of the TSX's nimbleness. Sometimes addition by subtraction really works, and here are five reasons why Acura's on the right track.
Distinctive Styling
It's no secret that Acura courted controversy with the most recent TL's styling. In particular, the bionic beak grille polarized public opinion, with many questioning why Acura had departed from its tasteful norm. But the TLX puts all of that in the rearview mirror. This is a head-turning car, from its jewel-like headlights to its classy LED taillights. Its taut proportions look great from the side, too.
Two Appealing Powertrains
Although the base TLX inherits the TSX's 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, it has a cool new transmission: a dual-clutch automated manual. The standard shift paddles make the most of the engine's 206 horsepower. If you want more oomph, the available V6 cranks out 290 hp through a 9-speed automatic. Fuel economy is impressive, too, at 35 miles per gallon on the highway with the four and 34 mpg with the V6.
Nimble Handling
The TLX feels dialed in on winding roads. The 4-cylinder model is only available with front-wheel drive, but it's lighter in the nose than the V6, so it feels more responsive. Still, the TLX V6 more than holds its own with Honda's optional Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system, which eliminates understeer by sending power side to side as well as front to back. Either way, it's nice to see Acura getting back to its sporty roots.
Great Seats
Acura must have hired a chiropractor, because in recent years, their seats have been top-notch. A 10-way power driver's seat comes standard on the TLX, and it delivers Volvo-like support. Rear passengers have plenty of space, too, even though the TLX is smaller than the old TL. No matter where you're sitting in this sedan, chances are you'll like your accommodations.
More Features for the Money
True to Acura's reputation, every TLX has a ton of standard features, including automatic climate control, Bluetooth and dual display screens that allow you to multitask on the road. The Technology package adds an excellent ELS stereo and safety features including lane departure warning. If you're looking for value, the TLX gives you more than the European crowd, and it offers better resale value when you're ready to move on.
AutoTrader Says
The 2015 Acura TLX combines the best of the old TL and TSX, and it adds some new stuff, too. If you've been waiting for Acura to get in the game, it's definitely time for a test drive.

Just one error: The push-button gear selector is for the 9-speed transmission in the 6-cylinders, not the 8-spd DCT in the 4-cylinders, as your video suggests.
Let's give it up for the host. He's pretty great ;).
Don't get it twisted, this is a great review and I love the TLX... But this guy's driving like he wants to crash
This is why I'm subd to u guys
Good review...
Yes yes yes!!!
I gotta tell ya, the TLX isn't a bad deal. It might not turn as many heads a Nissan Maxima, but it's a good car that you'd love to have if you want to drive something different.
Here is what I hate about Acura's new lineup of sedans and SUVs: hidden exhaust tips. Acura wants to print an environmentally-friendly image by doing this according to them. My opinion? Bullshit! You are not going to score bonus points with the EPA and the Sierra Club by removing the exhaust tips. Plus, why can I not get exhaust tips on an Acura (excluding the NSX), but I can on most Hondas? It's time to stop hiding the exhaust tips (as Filthy Frank would say).
Corrected with the '18 model.
Aero kit!
Great
Q50 looks way better and has a much better engine and is the same price (at least it was for me) so I went with the Q50. Get much more for your buck with the infiniti
goodfella949 with Nissan Quality
Its so bland. It doesn't command your attention the way other luxury cars do..its so basic. Acura is clueless when it comes to making an attractive car.
***** Well no new luxury cars look good. BMW's don;t even look too good and the Genesis Sedan is ok. The new Lexus front ends don't look too good
mack cummy i beg to differ...love my BMW 435 i coupe!
Yeah it's ok looking I guess.
+Google plus sucks
Looks nice and classy to me, especially compared to the Lexus predator front ends.
Yeah Lexus is getting gnarly and some Infiniti's and even Lincolns too.
