Used 2023 Acura TLX for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2023 Acura TLX cost?

Prices have softened 3.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 564 listings available, which gives you a meaningful pool to compare prices and equipment.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Acura TLX earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Safety.

The TLX’s appeal is rooted in its stylish design, fun-to-drive character, and comfortable ride, which help it work as more than just a performance-focused sedan. It also stands out as a luxury sports sedan that tries to balance driving enjoyment with everyday comfort.

The trade-offs are real, though: poor ergonomic design, a cramped back seat, and limited cargo space make it less practical than some rivals. Even so, if you want a sporty luxury sedan with a more distinctive personality, the TLX fits that brief well.

27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The TLX is described as a car that combines style, performance, and comfort, and the expert notes also point to a strong value proposition for the Type S. Its performance hardware and overall execution suggest a car built to deliver a satisfying ownership experience, especially if you value driving enjoyment.

The Type S also comes with two years or 24,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, which helps reduce early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the car’s tight packaging and complex controls can make daily living less satisfying if you need more space or simpler ergonomics.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Acura TLX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-spec example. Focus on interior condition, control usability, and signs of curb rash or underbody contact, since the car’s low stance and sporty setup can make it easier to scrape in daily use.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base TLX emphasizes style and performance but leaves out some convenience and safety equipment that you get on higher trims. The Technology Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package, and Type S each add more equipment, and the Type S is the most performance-focused version.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic. The Type S upgrades to a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque.
• Safety package: AcuraWatch is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with low-speed following, and Traffic Jam Assist. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors are included on every TLX except the base model.
• Infotainment: The TLX uses a 10.2-inch display with the True Touchpad Interface, and standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and AcuraLink connected services. Wireless smartphone charging, navigation, and upgraded audio vary by trim, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not supported.
• Fuel efficiency: The turbo four-cylinder should return between 24 mpg and 25 mpg in combined driving, while the Type S is estimated at 21 mpg combined and averaged 20 mpg during evaluation.

Which 2023 Acura TLX trim should I buy?

The 2023 Acura TLX is offered in 5 trim levels: base TLX, Technology Package, A-Spec Package, Advance Package, and Type S.

Here's the short version:

• base TLX: This is the entry point if you want the TLX’s styling and core driving character at the lowest price. It gives you the standard turbo four-cylinder and AcuraWatch, but it skips some of the extra convenience and safety equipment found higher up the range.
• Technology Package: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment without jumping all the way to the more expensive versions. It’s the trim to target if you want a more complete luxury experience while staying relatively price-conscious.
• A-Spec Package: Choose this if you want a more expressive look and the option of SH-AWD. It sits in the middle of the lineup and adds a sportier flavor without going all the way to Type S performance.
• Advance Package: This is the comfort-leaning choice, and it’s the trim to consider if you want more upscale equipment and the added safety convenience of the higher-spec setup.
• Type S: This is the enthusiast pick. It brings the turbo V6, SH-AWD, and the most performance-focused hardware, making it the right choice if driving enjoyment matters more than efficiency or practicality.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but the base model misses some of the extra driver-assistance equipment that comes on the higher trims.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Acura TLX?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 564 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.08% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 81.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $33,252, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Acura TLX's resale value?

The current average of $35,003 sits slightly below last year's $36,116.

That decline suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now. For a future seller, it also means you should expect some depreciation pressure if you plan to move the car again in the near term.

The TLX still has appeal because it combines style, performance, and comfort in a distinctive package. That kind of character can help support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX safe?

The 2023 Acura TLX earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS and a five-star overall crash-test rating from NHTSA, including a five-star rollover resistance rating and a four-star rating for the front passenger in a frontal-impact collision.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

AcuraWatch is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with low-speed following, and Traffic Jam Assist. Higher trims add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors, while the Type S also gets rain-sensing wipers and a wiper de-icer.

One caveat is that the Type S does not include the head-up display or surround-view camera system found on the Advance trim, and the lane-keeping systems can be less confident in certain lighting conditions.

Should I buy a 2023 Acura TLX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.08% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It blends style, performance, and comfort while keeping the Type S as the standout enthusiast choice.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $32,684, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $35,003 average.
• It offers the same design renaissance and strong handling with a more affordable entry price.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $37,076, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $35,003 average.
• It adds a new grille and bigger screens while keeping the same chassis and powertrains.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, style, and performance, the 2023 is the sweet spot. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2022 is the smarter value play. If you want the newer look and updated screens, the 2024 is worth a look, but you’ll pay more for it.
