The 2019 Acura TLX is a luxury mid-size sedan that offers drivers a responsive infotainment system, a refined and quiet ride, and a long list of standard safety features. Whether taking your family around town or heading out on a solo adventure, you’ll find plenty of comfort features in the vehicle. The model is very similar to the previous year and is available with your choice of two engines with up to three trims for the base engine. Further customization comes from various option packages and even has available an all-wheel drive with the upgraded engine.
Powertrains and Efficiency
Although the 2019 Acura TLX offers two engines, neither can necessarily be considered a performance-oriented one. The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 206 horsepower and 182 pound-feet. However, the 3.5-liter V6 ups the output to 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet. The base engine works with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic while the V6 has a nine-speed automatic. While the base engine comes only with front-wheel drive, the V6 offers either a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive. The TLX delivers a very respectable fuel economy for 2019, up to 23 mpg in the city, 33 on the highway, and 27 combined with the four-cylinder engine or 20, 31, and 24 mpg, respectively, with the V6 and front-wheel drive. Going with the all-wheel drive only bumps down the highway rating just by 1 mpg.
