2023 Acura TLX

The A-Spec package is primarily an appearance and handling package. It does not change the engine output but adds significant visual drama and sharpens the driving dynamics. It's for the buyer who wants the look and feel of a performance sedan without stepping up to the more expensive and fuel-thirsty Type S model. 1. Performance & Driving Experience Engine: The 2.0L turbocharged engine provides strong, accessible torque, making it feel quick in daily driving. It's not a neck-snapping powerhouse but is thoroughly competent and smooth. Transmission: The 10-speed automatic is a highlight. It shifts quickly and smoothly, and it's always in the right gear. The paddle shifters add to the engaging driving experience. Driving Experience: This is where the A-Spec package shines. The sport-tuned suspension and quicker steering transform the car. It feels noticeably tighter, more responsive, and flatter through corners than a base TLX. The trade-off is a slightly firmer ride, but it remains compliant enough for daily use. SH-AWD: Acura's legendary all-wheel-drive system is a game-changer. It can send up to 70% of power to the rear wheels and can vector torque side-to-side, making the car feel incredibly planted and agile, especially in corners. It is highly recommended for maximizing the A-Spec's performance potential. 2. Interior & Technology Driver-Centric Cockpit: The interior is focused on the driver with a low, wide dashboard and a double-layer design that places the infotainment screen on top. A-Spec Specifics: The sport seats are superb, offering excellent support and a great look. The suede inserts, red stitching, and metal pedals create a genuine performance ambiance. Technology: The TLX uses Acura's True Touchpad Interface. The 10.2-inch HD screen is sharp, but the interface, which uses a one-to-one mapping touchpad, has a significant learning curve and is not as intuitive as a touchscreen for many users. It comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Space: The TLX's cabin is comfortable for four adults, but rear-seat legroom is tighter than in some key competitors due to the car's sporty proportions. 3. Design (Exterior) The A-Spec package gives the already handsome TLX a much more aggressive and finished look. Front End: The JewelEye® LED headlights and gloss black Diamond Pentagon grille create a sharp, modern face. Profile: The 19-inch wheels and low-slung, cab-rearward profile are the TLX's best angles, giving it a classic sports sedan stance. Rear End: The LED taillights and dark chrome exhaust tips complete the athletic look. 4.
