Performance and Driving Impressions Rating:
Although Acura markets the TLX as a sports sedan, the car feels too comfortable and refined to be called such-and that's okay. The solid brakes and responsive steering boost driving fun-but only to a point-and the optional V-6 provides plenty of pep to keep things interesting.
What’s New for 2019?
With two engine and transmission combinations-including a 290-hp V-6 that can be paired with all-wheel drive-the TLX uses the same powertrains for 2019. Likewise, there are no changes to the suspension, and the four-cylinder still has standard rear-wheel steering for improved cornering. While the four-cylinder model now can be had with the sporty A-Spec package, only the V-6 version receives the quicker A-Spec steering setup and stiffer suspension. The TLX can be fun to drive quickly, but it still trails competitors such as the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Audi A4 that have sharper handling and more responsive powertrains.
