The Acura TLX is a 4-door sedan from Acura, built from 2014 to 2025, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 2.4-liter Honda K engine#K24W & K24V. Jarad Hall (2011) drew it.

How it came about

The Acura TLX is a four-door entry-level luxury sedan that was produced by Acura, a luxury division of Honda, from 2014 through 2025. It was the successor to both the TL and TSX models. The discontinuation of the RLX after the 2020 model year left the TLX as the flagship sedan in Acura's lineup. Acura ended production of the TLX with the 2025 model year due to declining sales.

The hardware

Power comes from 2.4-liter Honda K engine#K24W & K24V; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 3483–3492 lbs. It shifts through a 8-speed dual clutch (I4) / 9-speed ZF 9HP automatic (V6). The wheelbase is 2776 mm / 2900 mm (LWB). These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

Family and rivals

Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Acura TL / Acura TSX. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Infiniti Q50, the Chevrolet Camaro, the Ford Escort — show what else the money bought that year. Its Acura stablemates include the Acura ADX and the Acura ARX-06.

What it costs now

The money question first: $18,900–$65,000 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,453–$6,213 a year. Insurance sits around $1,680–$3,420 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
