2021 Acura TLX First Look in Chantilly, VA

Performance Redefined

Although all Acura vehicles place a premium on power, the 2021 TLX has taken this to a whole new level. With the standard 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder engine, you’ll have up to 272-hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque at your disposal for seemingly endless thrills. In addition, the double-wishbone front suspension and 10-speed automatic transmission will surely take your routine morning commute up a few notches. Incredibly, you can raise the stakes even higher by choosing the TLX Type S, as this edition boasts a beastly 3.0L turbocharged V6 system that was designed by a team of Acura’s most experienced powertrain experts. As an added bonus, this edition of the TLX will feature the 4th-generation Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system and NSX-derived electro-servo Brembo front brakes as standard. 

Cabin Technology

Although the performance specs alone will likely be enough to keep you behind the wheel for hours on end, the 2021 Acura TLX will boast a tech-loaded cabin to ensure that boredom doesn’t stand a chance. You’ll soon find that accessing your various media applications will be easier than ever before, thanks to updates to the True Touchpad Interface that allow for more accurate swipe patterns and recognition. Furthermore, the convenient positioning of the standard 10.2-inch touchscreen display will certainly be a welcomed upgrade when you’re trying to adjust the volume or change the station. Of course, we couldn’t fail to mention that audiophiles will absolutely love the refined sound quality afforded by the Acura/ELS Studio® premium audio system, as it now comes with four Highline™ ceiling-mounted speakers. 

Style & Design

Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the latest Acura TLX might just be its updated design. Longer and wider than the previous generation, this performance sedan offers a remarkably dynamic presence that’s accented by sculpted curves and pronounced contours. In addition, you won’t be able to help but notice the updated Jewel Eye® LED headlights and “Chicane” LED taillights, as these supply crisp illumination in a jaw-dropping fashion. Depending on your preferences when it comes to wheel design, accents, and other exterior accessories, you can consider trim levels like the Sport Package or the aforementioned TLX Type S. With the latter, your Acura will exhibit such elements as a unique Diamond Pattern grille, larger quad exhaust ports, and lightweight Y-spoke wheels. 

This 2021 Acura TLX first look in Chantilly, VA, only covers the tip of the iceberg, so be certain to contact the team at Pohanka Acura for additional details about this upcoming vehicle. We’re just as excited as you are for it to make its official debut in the fall of 2020!
