See Why the 2021 Acura TLX is the Best Sports Sedan Around

Visit Spitzer Acura to see why the 2021 TLX is the premium luxury sedan. Our knowledgeable sales people will be glad to take you for a test drive so you can compare the power and capability of the Acura’s aluminum-alloy engines that range from 2.0- to 3.5-liter, and from 270 to 290 horsepower. Choose either front-wheel or all-wheel drive and one of four trim packages, and make your next Acura uniquely your own.

Acura TLX vs. Honda Accord Performance Specs

One of the biggest differences between the Acura TLX and the Honda Accord is performance. The Acura, lets you customize your ride. Every trim level is powered by a direct injection VTEC^® Turbo engine and 10-speed transmission, and comes with your choice of Front-Wheel Drive with quick acceleration, sharp throttle response, and smooth gear changes, or Super Handling All-Wheel Drive^™ with seamless power transitions, incredible agility, and all-weather performance.

The Acura also incorporates an Integrated Dynamics System with four unique Driving Modes including: Comfort—for daily drives and long commutes, Normal—a direct, sport-tuned ride with firm steering and heightened throttle response, Sport—full power and control with paddle shifters and manual mode, and Individual—lets you customize up to five performance settings like shifting, throttle response, available damper settings, and available ambient interior lighting.

Four of the five 2021 Honda Accords trims—LX, Sport, Sport Special Edition, and EX-L—are equipped with a standard 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and a Continuously Variable Transmission. Only the Honda Touring 2.0T comes with a standard 2.0-liter Turbo 4-cylinder engine and 10-speed automatic transmission (the Sport trim offers this engine as an available option).

The Accord 1.5-liter turbocharged engine produces only 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, and the 2.0-liter VTEC turbocharged engine of the Touring 2.0T only 252 horsepower and 273 pd-ft of torque. For a much more supercharged performance, the standard base 2.0-liter VTEC Turbo engine of the Acura produces 272 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. This increases exponentially with each engine upgrade of the Standard TLX, Technology, A-Spec^®, and Advance packages.

Superior Acura Safety Features

Every Acura TLX is equipped with AcuraWatch^™, a suite of six innovative safety and driver-assistive technologies that enhance driver awareness and help mitigate the severity of an imminent impact. Each trim—Standard package, Technology Package, A-Spec^® Package, and Advance Package—features:

• Road Departure Mitigation
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Pedestrian Detection
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Traffic Jam Assist

The Acura offers many additional available driver-assistive technologies that add another layer of protection. These include the Blind Spot Information System—which monitors the sides and rear of your TLX and alerts you to their presence, Rear Cross Traffic Monitor—which detects vehicles approaching from the sides while in reverse, and a Surround-View Camera—that gives a 360° view of the space around your TLX.

The Honda Accord standard Honda Sensing^® suite of driver assist features only includes five features including: Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Traffic Sign Recognition.

The Accord EX-L includes the addition of Blind Spot Information System, and the Touring 2.0T trim adds Low-Speed Braking Control that automatically applies brake pressure if a collision is unavoidable.

The 2021 Acura, a True Luxury Sedan

Along with a far better performance, the 2021 Acura elevates the sedan to luxury status with a full lineup of standard premium amenities like bold exterior stylings, interior comfort features, and the latest in technology advances.

Outside the Acura, you’ll see the all new design with a longer, sculpted hood, wider body, and lower, athletic stance. You’ll also notice the TLX exclusive wheel design in four eye-catching styles starting with the standard 18-inch Glitter Silver Multi-Spoke wheels.

In comparison, the Accord LX features updated front-end styling, 17-inch Alloy wheels, auto high-beam headlights, and LED Daytime Running Lights.

Interior features abound in the Acura TLX Standard Package and include a leather-trimmed interior with a wrap-around performance-forward cockpit, 3-level heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 10.2-inch full HD center display with True Touchpad Interface^™, the Acura Premium Audio System with 7 speakers, Active Sound Control, and Iconic Drive^™ Ambient Cabin Lighting.

The comparable trim Honda Accord LX can’t compete with an 8-inch Display Audio touchscreen, rear seats with fold-down backs, a multi-angle rearview camera, dual-zone climate control, and Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration.
