The 2022 TLX offers two powertrain choices, a tech-focused interior and a network of advanced sensing systems for an enjoyable drive experience.
It has been resculpted with a 3.7-inch longer wheelbase, 2.2-inch expansive body and a lower roofline. Other-eye catching modifications include a restyled front grille, Jewel Eye LED headlights and a two-display infotainment setup.
In addition, the TLX Type S model returns after a 10-year hiatus with a new V6 engine and bespoke Sport+ mode for enthusiasts looking for race car enhancements inside and out.
Under the Hood
The standard TLX is powered by a 2.0-liter engine that generates 272 hp and 280 Ib-ft of torque, while the Type S offers a new 3.0-liter engine, generating 355 hp and 354 Ib-ft of torque.
The front-drive TLX is EPA-rated for 22/31 mpg in city/highway driving. Models equipped with Acura's Super Handling All Wheel Drive deliver EPA-estimated 19/25 mpg for city/highway mileage.
