Used 2020 Acura TLX Sedan Trims Comparison

Four-cylinder models are front-wheel-drive only and available in three trims: TLX 2.4L (base trim), TLX 2.4L with Technology package and TLX 2.4L A-Spec.

V6 models look similar: TLX 3.5L (base trim), TLX 3.5L with Technology package and TLX 3.5L A-Spec. There's also an additional TLX 3.5L with Advance package. All-wheel drive is optional only for V6 models.

Finally, a new handcrafted PMC Edition model debuts for 2020, bundling the features of the TLX Advance package with A-Spec styling elements. The PMC Edition is only available with V6 and all-wheel drive.

The base TLX 2.4L comes with a 2.4-liter engine (206 horsepower, 182 lb-ft), an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters, and front-wheel drive. Standard features include LED headlights, 17-inch wheels, a sunroof, keyless entry and ignition, walk-away door lock (automatically locks doors after the keyholder walks away from the car), dual-zone automatic climate control, simulated leather upholstery, and heated and power-adjustable front seats.

TLX tech conveniences include Bluetooth, two display screens (upper 8-inch and lower 7-inch touchscreens), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a seven-speaker audio system with satellite radio and a USB media interface. iPhone users also get Siri Eyes Free voice control when operating outside of Apple CarPlay.

All TLXs come with a standard set of driver assistance features called AcuraWatch. This suite includes lane departure warning and intervention, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam control.

You'll probably like the extra convenience features of the TLX 2.4L with Technology package. It adds keyless entry for the rear doors, hands-free-opening trunk, leather upholstery, automatic wipers, a climate control system that adjusts for sun direction, navigation, a 10-speaker premium audio system, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

The TLX 2.4L A-Spec offers the same features as the Technology package, but it adds 19-inch wheels, wider tires, black or red leather upholstery, and unique exterior trim elements such as a dark chrome grille, black decklid spoiler, lower diffuser, dual exhaust and LED foglights.

TLX 3.5L models are, appropriately enough, powered by a 3.5-liter V6 (290 hp, 267 lb-ft) connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Beyond what comes with the base four-cylinder model, the 3.5L gets 18-inch wheels and more power adjustments for the front passenger seat.

The TLX 3.5L with Technology package mirrors the features available on the four-cylinder, but with contrast leather trim and stitching as well as power-extending thigh support for the driver's seat.

Maximum creature comforts await with the TLX 3.5L with Advance package. It builds on the Technology package features with front and rear parking sensors, remote engine start, keyless door lock/unlock, hands-free-opening trunk, ventilated front seats, heated outboard rear seats, a heated steering wheel, LED ambient cabin lighting, wireless device charging, auto-dimming and power-folding side mirrors, a surround-view camera system and a heated windshield. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) is required to get the Advance package.

The TLX 3.5L A-Spec combines the Technology package features with some Advance package features, along with a sport-tuned suspension, 19-inch wheels, quicker steering, and unique exterior trim pieces.

The new PMC Edition blends Advance package features with A-Spec design elements and PMC Edition exclusive treatments. These include a single, high-intensity paint color (Valencia Red Pearl) otherwise only found on Acura's NSX supercar, unique 19-inch wheels, and black leather upholstery with red stitching and faux-suede inserts. The PMC Edition, which borrows its acronym from Acura's Performance Manufacturing Center, is assembled by hand by the same technicians who build the NSX.
