When you first sit down in the new 2018 Acura TLX, be prepared to fall in love. You’re going to enjoy the generous standard features Acura packed into this sporty, more aggressive-looking sedan. Don’t be fooled by the TLX’s below-average starting price either. With a base sticker price of $33,000, you won’t have to spend the kid’s college fund on this premium family car. Here are three things to love about the TLX.
Interior and Cargo Space
You will immediately notice the TLX’s comfortable interior with a steering wheel wrapped in leather that compliments the leather-trimmed upholstery. Gaze upon Acura’s high-quality materials like stylish wood trim, and contrasting piping for some added flair on the TLX’s top models. Load-up the car with friends and family in roomy front seats with space for five adults. Power-adjustable front seats with heat and ventilation, plus a driver’s-side thigh extender round out this Acura’s cozy front cabin.
Acura’s LATCH child-seat system features lower anchors and upper tethers for your little one’s safety. 60/40 split folding rear seats and 14.3 cubic feet of trunk space makes it easy to fill up your new sedan with all the kid’s sports gear, groceries or whatever you need to haul around. You’ll also appreciate the added storage space inside the cabin for small items, like a diaper bag or your yoga mat.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Acura made significant upgrades to their software and displays, just for you. You’ll want to glide your hands over the easy-to-access 7-inch touch panel and glance over at the big, bright 8-inch information screen. The 2018’s infotainment system is 30 percent faster and more organized than last year’s model, and if you love a concert-like experience while driving, feel free to stream your favorite Aha stations and blast your tunes with the TLX’s 10-speaker sound system.
You’ll enjoy the hands-free freedom of Siri Eyes Free that uses simple voice commands to operate your mobile devices, and rest easy knowing AcuraLink will be summoning help at the touch of a button if you get into trouble. Go ahead and use the TLX’s Apple CarPlay or Android Auto feature to use your phone while on the road safely. With the TLX, you can even unlock and lock your car right from your phone.
TLX Performance
When you start up the TLX, expect an adrenaline rush as this luxury car comes to life. It’s in-line V-4 base engine puts out a respectable 206 horsepower, but it’s the optional V-6 that puts out a beefy 290 horsepower. Plan to drive right by the gas pump with the TLX’s excellent gas mileage of 23 city and 33 highway. Feel the power and traction of the TLX’s optional all-wheel drive and fully independent rear steering that guarantees terrific handling and a smooth ride that you’ll adore from your new Acura.
