2021 Acura TLX Photo Gallery

Wide, low nose. Strong horizontal emphasis from LED headlight strips, stretched pentagonal grille.

Muscular fenders, yet elegant in 2.0T Advance form with 19s. This blue one of three no-cost colors.

Type S looks almost too aggressive. Summer tire option includes NSX-inspired 20s. This blue $500.

G70's exterior pleasant but derivative. Thick-spoked black wheels incl with Sport don't work for me.

Cab-rearward proportions unusual for a car with a transverse engine. Rear too heavy from this angle?

Looks high-end European from this angle. Much happening in the rear fender--bulge makes it all work.

Artful interior with few straight lines. Advance replaces aluminum with natural-finished wood trim.

With the A-Spec or Type S you can get red leather and stitching for a more intense ambiance--or not.

Even in Sport form the G70's interior is much more subdued, with a Jaguar flavor. No red leather.

Wide, low horizontal emphasis inside the TLX as well. Upholstered IP in A-Spec, Advance, and Type S.

Cockpit. Transmission controls occupy much of center stack to clear space for touchpad on console.

Seats have adjustable side bolsters and thigh support in Advance and Type S.

Marginal rear seat room. But the successful 3rd TL was no roomier.

The Type S has additional bracing--but the rear seat still folds.

Decent-sized trunk--in part because there's no spare.

Four-cylinder turbo fairly strong when prodded, but can feel lethargic around town.

Space for another engine behind the four-cylinder. Body stretched for entirely aesthetic reasons.

New turbo V6 in Type S much stronger and more responsive, and makes better noises (adjustable).

SH-AWD effectively counteracted understeer on curvy US-33.

Blue Ridge Parkway. The TLX was still comfortable towards the end of a long day.
