2015 Acura TLX

Naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6. AWD. Advance Package. Milano leather. Heated and ventilated seats. This 2015 Acura TLX 3.5L Advance delivers a combination that's getting harder to find: genuine luxury, a powerful six-cylinder engine, and all-weather capability without the price tag of a newer premium sedan. Finished in Fathom Blue Pearl over Graystone Premium Milano perforated leather, this TLX still looks appropriately upscale more than a decade after its introduction. The color combination is elegant without being ordinary, while 18-inch alloy wheels and Acura's understated styling give it the kind of design that has aged remarkably well. The centerpiece is under the hood. Acura's naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 produces 290 horsepower, giving the TLX smooth, immediate power without relying on a small turbocharged engine. Paired with an automatic transmission and AWD, it delivers the kind of effortless highway passing power and confident year-round traction that make a luxury sedan especially enjoyable in the Pacific Northwest. The Advance Package takes things considerably further. Premium Milano perforated leather, heated and ventilated front sport seats, a power moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, power driver's seat, rain-sensing wipers, and Active Cruise Control create a cabin designed for long-distance comfort. Heated seats are welcome during a cold Northwest morning, while ventilation makes a noticeable difference when summer arrives. Audio is another highlight. Acura's ELS Studio Premium Audio System surrounds the cabin with 10 speakers, while Bluetooth, SiriusXM capability, steering-wheel controls, and hands-free connectivity cover the everyday technology. A rearview camera adds useful visibility around town, and the TLX earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award for 2015, an impressive achievement when this generation was introduced. At 109,021 miles, we're not going to pretend this is a barely driven garage queen. What makes it compelling is what you're getting for the money. This is the flagship Advance configuration with a 290-horsepower naturally aspirated V6, AWD, Milano leather, heated and ventilated seats, premium ELS audio, adaptive cruise control, and a moonroof. Those are features that can still require a substantial budget in today's luxury market. There's also something refreshing about this era of Acura. Before nearly every premium sedan moved toward smaller turbocharged engines, this TLX delivered its performance through displacement, six cylinders, and the smooth character of Honda and Acura's naturally aspirated V6. Offered by Honda of Kirkland, backed by more than 30 years of serving the greater Seattle and Kirkland communities with transparency, customer care, and a no-pressure approach. If you're looking for an affordable luxury sedan, don't shop this TLX based on age alone. Come experience the V6, the Milano leather, the Advance equipment, and the solid, substantial feel for yourself. Finding a
