A Civic Sport is good and a V6 Accord Coupe is even better. What can we say about the new Acura TLX, then? Sporting a 6-cylinder, 3.5-liter engine (only on the All-wheel drive models) delivering 290 HP, this sedan has everything under the hood (and around) to please performance lovers. Don't look further than the dealer Acura from Laval, near Montreal and the north shore of the island, to gaze upon this mechanical stallion and feel its wheel in your hands.
A breathtaking design
The TLX model's design has always showed the will of the manufacturer to please the most demanding drivers when it comes to engine power, driving experience and comfort. The wide wheelbase and the lowered body of the 2018 model added to an All-wheel drive that won't fail you during the winter are proof enough of this commitment.
You won't notice any of that if you keep staring at this metallic gem. The face of the vehicle, the pentagon-shaped, diamond-looking grill and the LED lights on each of its sides will be the first contact between this machine and you. Take a look next at the almost furious-looking design of the body, the massive shape of the cabin, the feeling of power inspired by the 19 inches wheels and finally, the large, chromed muffler you're expecting on a vehicle of this caliber.
A well-equipped cabin
Don't we say that true beauty comes from within? The Acura TLX 2018 is way more than just a powerful engine in an alluring body. You'll find inside racing-like seats, a modern, luxurious dashboard, a classic built-in infotainment system that includes an interface allowing you to use some of the features of your phone (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). All of this combined gives the driver an extremely pleasing point of view while seating behind the wheel.
To each its TLX
The TLX comes in many different versions to target virtually every section of the public target. The models with only all wheel steer are the TECH, the TECH A-SPEC, the ELITE and the ELITE A-SPEC. Looking now at the All-Wheel Drive models, you can choose between the SH-AWD, the SH-AWD TECH, the SH-AWD, the TECH A-SPEC and the SH-AWD ELITE. You'll find out that Acura Laval offers highly competitive prices for these high-end models.
From one gear to the other
The transmission modes of the TLX 2018 have what it takes to appeal to the pickiest drivers. The 9-speed, sequential automatic transmission will give you a sporty feel from the racing pedal up to your feet. The 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is truly the best of both worlds for those willing to abolish the separation between driving and racing in the city.
Choosing the Acura TLX 2018 is going for a sedan that doesn't compromise on design, performance, comfort and integrated technology.
