Challenging the BMW 3 Series is no easy task, but that’s precisely what the TLX is trying to do. The base A-Spec model features a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine rated at 272 horsepower, while the TLX Type S benefits from a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 cranking up 355 horsepower. All of them rely on a 10-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. Unlike some rivals, this is a compact luxury sedan with good residual value.
