2019 Acura TLX

For 2019, the 4-cylinder 2.4 trim can now be equipped with an A-Spec appearance package that adds a matte-black grille, revised front fascia, Shark Grey 19-inch wheels, a rear spoiler, aggressively bolstered sport front seats, a thick-rimmed steering wheel and A-Spec interior and exterior styling upgrades. V6 models get new 19-in wheels, while Platinum White Pearl is added to the TLX's color palette.

If you're looking for luxury, power, safety and technology, we suggest moving to the top-of-the-line TLX 3.5 SH-AWD with the Advance package or the performance-oriented TLX 3.5 A-Spec. Other than the Acura name, the base TLX just doesn't provide enough to convince us you couldn't spend the same money or less on a Ford Fusion, Honda Accord or Kia Optima and get more car for your money.
