Highly Anticipated 2021 Acura TLX Set To Arrive at Dealerships Late September
New model packs more performance and
features at a starting price of $43,990
High performance Type S variant with
3.0 litre, V6 Turbo to arrive next spring
Markham,
on. Aug. 20, 2020—The
2021 Acura TLX is set to launch nationwide in late September as the quickest,
best-handling and most well-appointed sedan in the brand's 35-year history. Built upon a model-exclusive body structure
and chassis architecture, the 2021 TLX 2.0T packing 272-horsepower will carry a
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $43,990.
Acura’s
torque vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system is now
standard with the TLX Type S, powered by Acura’s new 3.0-litre V6 Turbo, arriving
next spring. Pricing for the Type S will be announced closer to its launch
date.
Complementing
its stunning new design and athletic stance, the TLX’s new 2.0-litre DOHC VTEC®
Turbo engine delivers more torque (+13 lb.-ft.) than the outgoing 3.5-liter V6,
with a dramatic increase at the low end of the rev range (+48 lb.-ft. @ 1,500
rpm). Additional performance enhancing features include a quick-shifting
10-speed transmission, sport-tuned chassis with double wishbone front
suspension, NSX-derived electro-servo brake-by-wire technology, and available
adaptive dampers.
Best-in-class
technologies and features new to TLX include a new implementation of Acura’s
True Touchpad Interface™ with a 10.2 inch HD center display, an available 17-speaker
ELS STUDIO 3DÒ premium audio system, and
available LED interior ambient lighting with up to 24 IconicDrive™ themes.
The
new TLX expands on its standard AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and
driver-assistive technologies with the addition of Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) and
Traffic Sign Recognition, as well as an industry first next-generation passenger front airbag designed to mitigate potential
injury in more steeply angled frontal collisions.

information on the 2021 Acura TLX is available here.
