Highlights of the ENT Review

In a class dominated by heavy hitters with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Genesis G70, and BMW 3-Series, the 2021 Acura TLX gets a boost with a more powerful engine and more safety features. The sports sedan is in the Goldilocks position between compact and midsize with a wide body and a more basic stance. It creates a second sub-row with features of comfort and convenience throughout the car.

The previous generation TLX left buyers hungry for power and a real sporty driving experience. Buyers wanted efficiency and excitement. The 2021 model series fulfills these demands. The TLX Type S gets a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 for the power-hungry driver. For drivers who value efficiency, the 2.0L 4 cylinder dominates in other TLX trims. Acura designed the 2021 TLX to deliver superior handling that’s responsive and engaging. Not surprisingly, the TLX has been one of the best-selling sport sedans in Acura’s history.

Holding fast as a popular and value-oriented sport sedan, the 2021 Acura TLX comes equipped with driver aids such as forward collision warning and lane-keeping assist, simplified connectivity, and more generous space than its class competitors.
