2024 Acura TLX Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Acura offers the 2024 TLX in Technology, A-Spec and Type S trim levels. All but the Type S come with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (272 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque), a 10-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is standard with A-Spec. The TLX Type S is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (355 hp, 354 lb-ft) and comes standard with all-wheel drive. Keep reading for our editorial rundown of the key features that come with each trim.

Technology
Serves as the new base trim and includes:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Sunroof
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Power-adjustable, heated front seats

  • 13-speaker sound system
  • Four USB charging ports (two front, two back)

The TLX also comes standard with these driver assist and collision avoidance systems:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the TLX and the car in front)
  • Multi-view backup camera
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Useful stand-alone accessories for the TLX include:

  • Heated steering wheel
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Remote engine start

A-Spec
The sport-themed A-Spec includes Technology package features and adds:

  • Sporty exterior styling
  • 19-inch dark gray alloy wheels
  • LED foglights
  • Black rear spoiler
  • Brushed aluminum interior trim
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Mixed leather and synthetic suede seat upholstery
  • Flat-bottom steering wheel
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • 17-speaker premium sound system

Type S
This performance-tuned version of the TLX builds on the A-Spec package with a more powerful engine, standard all-wheel drive and enhancements such as:

  • 20-inch alloy wheels
  • Performance tires
  • Adaptive suspension
  • Extra chassis bracing (can help to enhance handling)
  • Distinctive grille design
  • Aerodynamic body trim
  • Brembo performance brakes
  • Power-folding side mirrors
  • Wiper de-icer system
  • Remote engine start
  • 16-way power-adjustable front seats

Which TLX trim does Edmunds recommend?

We'd get the TLX A-Spec with all-wheel drive. The Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system improves wet and dry traction and boosts the TLX's agility to a level similar to its rear-drive-based rivals. The A-Spec package adds some desirable features, including additional sound deadening for a quieter ride and an upgraded audio system with 17 speakers.
