The Acura TLX 2015 manages to stand out from the crowd owing to a few quintessential features that this mid-sized family sedan provides. There are numerous players operating within the $30k – $50k price bracket, but Acura manages to stick out from the rest.
The TLX sports the perfect combination of refinement, performance, ergonomics, aesthetics and thrill, although, the four-cylinder variant could have been a little more fuel efficient. The Acura TLX 2015 is the perfect vehicle to use as a daily commuter as well as for the weekend escapades.
The 2015 TLX will replace the present generation TSX and TL models, which is a welcome change. Initial reports suggest that the Acura TLX 2015 draws power from a four-cylinder 2.4-liter engine block displacing 206 BHP and is hooked on to an eight-speed transmission system. The vehicle is priced at $30,995.
The second variant of this vehicle features a 3.5-liter V6 engine block displacing 290 BHP and is hooked on to a nine-speed automated gearbox. This variant is available at $35,220. The range-topping 3.5-liter SH-AWD engine will set you back by a whopping $41,450.
Acura has the perfect solution for the green brigade too. Their 2.4-liter engine block is known to return close to 24 MPG within the city and 35 MPG on the freeway, which is decent enough for daily use. The higher spec engine blocks return 21 and 34 MPG combined, which is not a huge way off the economic lineup. Hence, choose your stead carefully.
What most people are looking for nowadays is the image behind their investment. The Acura TLX 2015 does all that and provides strong performance. Hence, its current generation variants are favored globally. The designers at Acura have paid special care to the way the car looks and it brings a certain European touch to every minor aspect, including fit and finish.
The TLX however is built in America, for Americans. Hence, it is strange that Acura wanted to opt for refinement over power, considering the needs of the market. We will not know the final statistics as long as the vehicle is not available at the retailers. However, initial inquiries surrounding the vehicle have been high.
The drive experience of the vehicle is currently unavailable, although, judging from the current generation models, it should record major improvements. The dual-clutch transmission system is a primary addition, and its importance is quite easily highlighted.
If you are looking for a vehicle that is rock steady over the pavement and can be used for daily commuting, the Acura TLX 2015 is your best bet. However, there are certain things that this vehicle is not meant to do. Driving over gravel and heading off-road are some of its weaknesses.
