The TLX is the more upscale of Acura’s two compact cars. It soldiers on for 2025 with no significant changes. The base model features a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine (272 hp, 280 lb-ft) shared with the RDX crossover. The sportier TLX Type S, meanwhile, uses a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 (355 hp, 354 lb-ft). All-wheel drive comes standard in both cases, which is something the cheaper Integra can’t brag about.
