Biggest Upgrades from the Previous Model

Although the 2023 Acura TLX has only a few notable enhancements compared to the previous all-new 2022 model, the return of the Type S trim is a significant development. This trim is back after a 15-year absence, featuring a turbocharged V6 engine and a chassis that is specifically tuned for optimal performance.

Designed to push limits, the Type S is a comprehensive performance package equipped with a powerful 3.0-litre turbo V6 engine that produces an impressive 355 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft of torque.

The 2023 Acura TLX provides an opulent and spacious interior, with three trims to choose from: A-SPEC, Platinum Elite, and Type S. The base A-SPEC model features an HD colour center display with True Touchpad Interface, Ultrasuede leather-trimmed seating surfaces, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Upgrading to the Platinum Elite trim offers additional features, such as perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces with contrast stitching and seat piping, a heated steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting.
