2017 Acura TLX

"The 2017 Acura TLX has a composed ride, a quiet interior, and an energetic available V6 engine." - U.S News

Acura has taken care of consumers with the new TLX by allowing them to select from two different engine configurations. The owners can opt between a 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine with 206 hp or a 3.5L V6 engine with 290 hp. Buyers also have the option to select between FWD and AWD. The MSRP of the 2017 TLX Sedan starts from $33,000 and goes all the way up to $45,000 for the V6 engine and AWD system with the Advance Package. 

We Recommend 

To get a bang for your buck, we recommend going for the optional V6 motor which comes with the Advanced package as it offers a great combination of performance and a great array of features along with plush interiors and an exceptional driving experience.

With the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, the new TLX sedan offers a city gas mileage of 24 miles per gallon and on highway roads, it stretches out to 35 miles per gallon. The number drops for the V6 engine because of its massive output. 

When compared to the competition, the Audi A4 manages to outshine the rest with a combined 31 MPG while the BMW 3 series and Acura TLX are evenly matched at 28 MPG. The C Class falls behind the competition when it comes to economy.
