Cons: Performance of V6’s 9-speed transmission; so-so trunk space; premium fuel required for both engines; not all testers like V6 models’ push-button gear selector[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: After its introduction last year as a replacement for the outgoing Acura TSX and TL sedans, the Acura TLX is carried over unchanged for 2016. The TLX is a sporty midsize sedan that’s available with 4-cylinder or V6 power. The 4-cylinder comes standard with an 8-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission, while the V6 uses a 9-speed automatic (a manual gearbox is not offered). All-wheel drive is available on V6 models. Highlights of the TLX’s available features include forward collision warning, lane-keep assist, remote engine start, adaptive cruise control, and Acura’s Precision All-Wheel Steer system (P-AWS), which is standard on front-drive TLXs. The TLX’s compact-yet-spacious dimensions, athletic driving character, convincingly luxurious ambiance, competitive prices, and impressive array of available tech and safety features make it a compelling premium-midsize-car choice.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
