The 2021 Acura TLX will cruise into showrooms next month with a starting MSRP of $37,500. Acura went back to the drawing board for the new TLX, and we are excited to see what’s finally in store when it hits the street. We also anticipate gearheads and enthusiasts will be pleased with the new TLX Type S when it arrives later next year. Â
2021 Acura TLX: Engine & Powertrain
The “normal” TLX has a 2.0-liter DOHC VTEC Turbo, while the TLX Type S employs a beefy 3.0-liter V6 Turbo. The 2.0-liter engine produces 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque, an increase in both departments versus the outgoing 2.4-liter and 3.5-liter V6. The 2.0-liter is available with Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system.Â
The TLX Type S should be a blast to drive with the new 3.0-liter V6 Turbo. Acura is estimating 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft. of torque, although they have not confirmed those numbers just yet. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive is standard on the 2021 TLX Type S.Â
Additional performance improvements for the new TLX include a sport-tuned chassis with a double-wishbone front suspension, NSX-derived electro-servo brake-by-wire technology, and available adaptive dampers. A 10-speed transmission replaces the TLX’s prior nine-speed unit.Â
