Why it stands out

The 2025 Acura TLX stands out as a premium sport sedan that blends performance, technology, and all-wheel-drive capability in a package that is now limited to the used market. By this model year, the TLX was in its second generation, and Acura had already positioned it as a larger, more powerful, and better-equipped redesign. That makes the 2025 TLX appealing to buyers who want a modern luxury sedan with a strong feature set and a more driver-focused personality than many mainstream alternatives.

What gives the 2025 TLX much of its appeal is the breadth of equipment Acura built into the lineup. The model’s standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, while front-wheel drive is standard and SH-AWD is optional. AcuraWatch safety and driver-assistive technologies are standard, and the car also comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Depending on trim, the TLX could be equipped with features such as 19-inch alloy wheels, leather seats, navigation, a 17-speaker ELS Studio 3D audio system, adaptive dampers, a head-up display, and a surround-view camera system. The TLX Type S adds a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6, standard SH-AWD, 20-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, and an extra Sport+ driving mode, giving the car a clear performance edge for shoppers who want more than just a comfortable luxury sedan.

There are tradeoffs, though. The TLX’s pros include multiple powertrain options, a fun-to-drive character, and excellent value for money, but its cons include a cramped back seat, not much cargo space, and poor reliability of the nine-speed automatic. For buyers, that mix makes the 2025 Acura TLX distinctive: it offers a lot of equipment and available performance, but it is still a sedan that asks some compromises in rear-seat room and practicality.
