2023 TLX
Bold Exterior
The TLX’s performance intentions are obvious through its low and wide stance, long dash-to-axle ratio, expansive hood, tapered greenhouse, and pronounced rear haunches. The bold Acura signature Diamond Pentagon front grille and new “Chicane” daytime running lights are paired with new four-lamp Jewel Eye® LED headlights. The new TLX features a longer wheelbase, a wider body with wider front and rear tracks, a lower roof, and an extended dash-to-axle dimension. The sedan’s sleek and dynamic side profile uses sheer, angled surfaces to create strong light-and-shadow contrasts. Larger 18-inch wheels are standard, and 19-inch and 20-inch wheels in various finishes — depending on trim — are also available. The new body structure uses advanced, lightweight materials, including aluminum and press-hardened steel. An expanded color palette is available, with nine exterior finishes including five premium colors. The TLX redefines the art of performance.
A-Spec Sport Package
Acura’s highly popular A-Spec sport package adds distinctive sport appearance upgrades, including Shark Grey 19-inch wheels, gloss black accents front to rear, darkened headlight and taillight treatment, and a pronounced rear decklid spoiler.
High Performance Type S
The TLX Type S builds upon the A-Spec styling elements, enhancing the TLX’s sporty appearance. Aerodynamic elements include a rear decklid spoiler, aggressive front splitter and rear diffuser, and large quad exhaust outlets. Two exclusive 20-inch wheels designs will be offered — a split-10 spoke design from the Type S Concept and an NSX-inspired lightweight “Y-Spoke” wheel — both wrapped in 255-series performance rubber.
High-Output Turbo Powertrains
The new TLX offers two powerful and high-torque turbocharged engines. Standard power comes from a 2.0-liter DOHC, direct-injected and turbocharged engine with VTEC®. With 272 hp and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, the TLX’s 2.0-liter turbo boasts the highest horsepower in its core competitive set, delivering dramatic gains in horsepower and torque. The TLX Type S features an all-new 3.0-liter, 24-valve, DOHC direct-injected and turbocharged engine. The new transverse-mounted V6 is highly compact and lightweight, utilizing a dual scroll turbocharger and electronic wastegate to deliver an immediate, high-torque response.
The Return of Type S
The long-awaited Type S is the pinnacle of Precision Crafted Performance®. An all-new exclusive 3.0-liter V-6 Turbo engine propels the Type S, making it the quickest Acura sedan ever. Large upgraded front brakes provide powerful and consistent stopping strength to tackle tight corners confidently. The TLX Type S is the next chapter of Acura’s rich performance-driven heritage.
Sequential SportShift
Acura’s 10-speed automatic, with Sequential SportShift and standard paddle shifters, takes full advantage of both turbocharged engines’ high-torque output, offering a wider ratio range, more discrete gears, four-gear direct downshifts, and a lower first gear. Type S models will have unique transmission tuning, providing an aggressive response during performance driving scenarios.
Torque Vectoring SH-AWD®
All TLX models offer available rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), Acura’s industry-leading torque-vectoring all-wheel drive technology. SH-AWD is offered as optional equipment on the 2.0-liter TLX and as standard technology on the TLX Type S. This 4th-generation SH-AWD® system has 40% more rear torque capacity and 30% quicker front-to-rear torque transfer. The SH-AWD® system in the new TLX transfers up to 70% of engine torque to the rear axle during normal driving conditions and elevates performance for sharper, more accurate turns and crisp cornering.
Exclusive New Chassis
The new chassis with double-wishbone front suspension offers more precise handling and cornering grip, along with greater mechanical compliance for improved ride quality. The TLX chassis incorporates multiple new performance-focused engineering upgrades, including a variable-ratio steering system, electro-servo brake-by-wire technology applied from the NSX, and an available driver-selectable Adaptive Damper System.
NSX Electro-Servo Brakes
The new TLX utilizes a highly sophisticated electric-servo brake system originally developed for the second-generation NSX. This system includes finely tuned brake pedal force and electronically controlled brake pressure to optimize the vehicle’s performance driving characteristics. For the TLX Type S, multiple hardware upgrades, including larger discs and four-piston Brembo front calipers, improve braking performance and enhance the performance-focused tuning of the entire braking system.
Driver-Oriented Cockpit
The seating is designed for all-day comfort with abundant lateral support. Soft-touch seating materials help hold the driver and passengers in position while cornering. The advanced front sport seats are highly customizable with up to 16-way power adjustability. The high, wide center tunnel and wrap-around instrument panel create a more personal space for both front-seat occupants. For the driver, a robust leather-wrapped steering wheel, clean and clear instrumentation, and improved forward visibility provide an exhilarating driving experience.
Iconic Drive™ Ambient Cabin Lighting
The TLX features available ambient LED lighting throughout the cabin that changes with each driving mode (Comfort, Normal, Sport), as well as 24 selectable interior lighting schemes, each named after an iconic performance driving destination or track, such as “Pacific Coast” and “Suzuka.”
Comfort Features
The standard auto-dimming rearview mirror reduces glare from the headlights of following vehicles, helping preserve the driver’s night vision. One-touch turn signals provide push-and-release turn signal convenience for lane changes. Standard steering wheel-mounted controls allow the driver to command multiple functions and operations — including integrated smartphone controls, multi-Information Display (MID), and the audio system — with just a fingertip. Technology, A-Spec, and Advance Package models add controls for the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition™ and Advance Package models add a heated steering wheel.
True Touchpad Interface
The 10.2-inch full-HD display helps you keep your eyes on the road by providing an intuitive touch interface for a wide range of systems. This advanced interface combines a conventional touchscreen with a remote-based interface in a dual-zone touchpad with absolute position mapping.
Audio Systems
The standard Acura Premium Audio System with 10 speakers accepts multiple input sources and speed-sensitive volume control, automatically increasing audio gain with road speed. Other available premium systems include a 13-speaker system and a 17-speaker system, both delivering amazing clarity and power. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are available in the TLX, seamlessly connecting your smartphone’s key features with your vehicle.
AcuraLink®
AcuraLink keeps you connected while driving, expanding the vehicle’s technology capabilities with a host of convenience, security, and media features. The system accesses cloud-based computing resources using embedded cellular technology, in concert with the driver’s compatible smartphone and data package. All packages require enrollment in AcuraLink®, which is enabled by pressing the Link button, dialing 1-877-375-2638, or via the iN, in the AcuraLink® menu.
AcuraWatch™
The AcuraWatch™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies is standard on all 2023 TLX models. AcuraWatch™ includes several new features, such as Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), Driver Awareness Monitor, and Traffic Jam Assist (TJA). Working in conjunction with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, Traffic Jam Assist helps reduce driver stress in highly congested traffic situations by helping keep the vehicle in its lane and at a set interval behind a car detected ahead. AcuraWatch™ also includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ with forward collision warning, Road Departure Mitigation system with lane departure warning, and a Lane Keeping Assist System.
New Airbag Technology
The 2023 TLX features new front passenger airbag technology. The three-chamber design functions like a baseball catcher’s mitt, designed to more effectively cradle and help protect the front seat occupant’s head, to mitigate potential injury in more steeply angled frontal collisions.
Collision Protection
Acura’s proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure provides additional occupant protection in a wider range of collision scenarios. Other structural safety features include ultra-high-strength-steel one-piece door rings and an ultra-stiff center tunnel to help optimize the absorption and direction of collision forces around the cabin.
Blind Spot Information System
The available Blind Spot Information System provides visible and audible cues to alert you when signaling a lane change into an adjacent, occupied lane. Radar sensors in the rear bumper can trigger an alert if another vehicle is detected alongside or just to the rear in an adjacent lane. A warning light near the outside rearview mirror can alert you to the detected vehicle on that side. If the turn signals are activated to indicate a lane change when a vehicle is detected alongside, the system will issue an audible tone.
Surround View Camera System
Enhance your awareness and confidence when parking or maneuvering in confined areas with the available Surround View camera system. Cameras in the grille, outside mirrors, and rear license plate frame show real-time images in the upper audio/information display. When the vehicle is in Park or Drive, the Camera button allows the driver to select front ground view, front side view, or left and right side views. Guidelines help provide a sense of distance between the vehicle and surrounding obstacles, and projection lines show the vehicle’s projected direction of travel relative to the steering wheel’s position.
Head-Up Display
The available Head-Up Display helps you keep your eyes on the road by projecting crucial driving information onto the lower portion of the windshield. This information may include current speed, current mode for Adaptive Cruise Control, tachometer,
gear-position indicator, or turn-by-turn directions. You can choose which items are shown on the Head-Up Display using steering wheel-mounted controls or the True Touchpad Interface.

The service center at Gary Force Acura always takes care of me and my vehicle. They diagnosed the problem and had it fixed as soon as possible. Thanks to Jay for keeping me informed during the whole process.
Luis is the best service representative at Gary Force Acura! He’s always kind and precise, making sure that we’re taken care of from drop off to pick up. He’s professional and is able to explain what the vehicle needs and the estimated time of repair. We will continue to give Gary Force business as long as Luis is there!
They are there to help with your car needs and very friendly
Checked me in early and finished the service an hour early.
Great experience, thank you for amazing service
I had an outstanding experience with Cameron and the whole team at Gary Force Acura. There was nothing hidden or unexplained - nothing snuck onto the numbers sheet at the last minute. Options were clearly explained and were exactly what they're supposed to be, options. We selected what made sense for us and passed on what didn't. That was the end of it the discussion, no pressuring us to get something we don't need. I will definitely be going back for my future automotive needs.
I would like to say my experience with Gary Force Acura was on a different level. This was my firt time considering the Acura brand. My salesman Mr. Terry Hill, explained that they didnt have the MDX TYPE "S" exterior color Urban Grey, interior color Azurite(blue) in stock and it is or will be available for purchase, when it arrived, but not for long, because of thr rarity of that color combination, so following his suggestion I place a deposit, I was reluctant at first, but Mr. Hill assured me that that was the best way to ...
Eric Green and Gary Force Acura are absolutely the best! You will be taken care of by their incredible team.
Great service experience!
Our service advisor Jay was awesome!
Great service! Luis Roldan was my advisor. Car was done in a punctual fashion and appreciate the way he explained everything to me. You have made me a customer for life. Thanks.
Gary Force is the best around! Tyler, Trey, and Keb were all beyond helpful for our very first car purchase. Made the process so easy all the while being so kind and helpful! Only dealership we will ever be purchasing through!
My car went to 15% and I needed to get into the service to have the oil changed and everything checked before I went on vacation they worked me in and we’re able to fix my car and I really appreciate it.
Purchased my brand new ADX with Matt! What a great experience. I will be telling everyone to head there for their car needs. I appreciated the team’s openness and honesty. I left with the first ADX sold in TN and of course had to sign the ADX poster in his office! Huge shout out to Matt for guiding me along the way and keeping me posted on all the new info as it came out for this new model! I love love love my car!
Jay in the Service Center was great. Solid communication with me and flexibility when our car had to stay longer than expected due to our insurance being the delay. Once approved - it was only a 24 hour turnaround to complete the repair.
All the employees in the service department have always been very nice and accommodating. Anytime we have had to be there for service. This time, I was there for almost 4 hours. I work remotely and they have very comfortable cubbies. I was able to not miss any of my work while getting my car repair.
All the transaction was smooth from the beginining to the end. The sales rep, Mike was honest and respectful and we felt good about the car I purchased.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Gary Force Acura, thanks to the incredible service from Matt Randall! From the very beginning, Matt took the time to really listen to what I wanted and worked a miracle to put me in my dream car…the (Acura RDX) right off the showroom floor. Matt also kept me at my requested monthly payment. His kindness, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the process made everything smooth and stress-free. Not to mention, he’s got a great sense of humor, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I couldn’t be happier with ...
Our sales rep Cameron was the best sales person we’ve ever had. The experience was world class and everyone should buy their vehicles from him.
My salesman Terry H was very friendly and knowledgeable about the vehicle I purchased , he explained to me the features in my car step by step…… I love my Acura.
I always get great and accommodating service on my 2017 Acura RDX at Gary Ford. They are polite and knowledgeable. Prices are fair (for Brentwood) and they take the time to explain any repairs or maintenance needed that were not part of the standard service. I highly recommend them for servicing your Acura.
Tony is the best! Clearly explained the work to be done and costs upfront. Car was ready to go right on time with no surprises.
Our experience with Chris was smooth and simple. Very pleased with our experience and excited to be apart of the Acura family. Loving my RDX
Service was excellent all around. When I arrived, the gentleman who checked me in was extremely helpful. This excellent service was carried out the whole time. I was even given a wonderful courtesy car to drive. Gary Force Acura goes the extra mile!
This was my first time visiting this location to have my MDX serviced. Jay met me in the service bay, walked me through what needed to be done, provided the cost estimate, and gave me an estimated completion time. Everything went smoothly—Jay was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely return to this location.
Jay did an excellent job ensuring the proper and efficient service of my vehicle. He was quick, polite, professional, and kind. Thank you!
From the purchase of my car to the service, all has been exceptionally professional. Would highly recommend this dealership to others.
Matt Randall was great during this process. He heard what I was looking for and never tried to pressure me into anything. He was knowledgeable and patient. Also Trey in finance made the process easy and painless.
Chris Moosekian at Gary Force Acura was an excellent salesperson for us. Because we ordered our TLX Type S, Chris constantly updated us along the way. He was extremely helpful & knowledgeable throughout the process. Also, Trey, that completed our paperwork, did a great job. We would definitely recommend Chris in the future for anyone looking for a vehicle.
Have had my vehicle serviced here since 2020. Always a positive experiance with friendly service that exceeds expectations. I had an appointment this week and completely forgot about it. I went in 4 hours after my appointment time and was taken in immediately and received a loaner vehicle. You can't beat that.
I went to Gary Force Acura for my first service and I met Joel Trail he is very helpful and cooperative during my car service and It was really very good experience
I brought my 2018 MDX here after purchasing it recently. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. I very much felt like I was in good hands coming here for the first time.
The Gary Force Acura service department is a pleasure to work with.
I had such a great experience in the Gary Force Acura service department thanks to Luis! My 2018 MDX had a glitchy instrument panel, and after running some diagnostics, we found out my battery was on its way out. The best part? The battery was still under warranty from a previous replacement, so Luis replaced it for me. He even did a software upgrade, and when I got behind the wheel, my MDX felt like new with some cool added features! Huge thanks to Luis for going above and beyond to take care of my car needs. You really made my ...
Eric Green was awesome! We got a fair deal on our trade in and brought home a great vehicle for my wife. Highly recommend!
Repeat buyers - Hands down the best buying experience we have ever had for all 3 cars. Trey in Financing and Tyler on the Sales end this time. Both professional and fun to work with! Thanks again!
Great experience at Gary Force Acura! My sales representative was Lenny and he was great! Lenny was very kind, knowledgeable and his ability to make me comfortable and to explain all the car functions was invaluable. I looked at many other dealerships and Gary Force Acura was above them all. Every dealership needs a Lenny
Excellent experience. Was met by service advisor (Bryce) as soon as we drove in and service was completed ahead of schedule.
Great work. No pressure to buy from the sales staff. Very easy to work with
I had to get service on my now Acura at the last minute (my fault) before a long trip. The service department was astoundingly empathetic and helpful in working with me to find a time. When I arrived I was given a time estimate and that proved 100% accurate. Good coffee, cold water, comfy chairs - I’ll be back!
They were very friendly and didn’t waste my time.
We love Gary Force and Acura. They have great service are always friendly. Easy to schedule with solid service, communication and follow through.
Always a great experience at Acura. Service is friendly and always professional.
Terry Hill was easy to work with. Holler at him. Easy going dealership. Great customer service. Great buying experience
Eric was extremely helpful, honest, and easy to work with. I appreciate how easy and stress free the car buying experience was. Eric is a great asset to the Acura community.
Todd has now sold me two cars within a year. His service goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Todd and Gary Force Acura.
Outstanding customer service. Discovered an issue that was under warranty during scheduled maintenance, and resolved it immediately with no additional cost or wait time.
I love love love my car. I got an Acura integra back in 2024. The reason why I’m not giving Gary Force Acura 5 star is because when I call to schedule maintenance services, whoever it is that works at the appointment line desk, is a huge a hole. Very rude and should not work in customer service at all. Other than that I love my car and I’ll definitely purchase another Acura in the future.
Mike Lowe provided the best sales experience we have had purchasing from Acura! He made it extremely easy, provided many buying and financing options, and delivered our new car when we couldn’t get to the dealership! 3 weeks after purchase, he is still taking our calls and helping with questions. Thanks again Mike for your help sir!
Great experience with Todd and Trey. Todd was responsive, easy to reach, and very knowledgeable. We financed, had our car delivered to South Carolina, and they even handled our trade in. Highly recommend working with them.
Took care of ALL my car issues Liz was awesome
Our salesman, Lenny was fantastic! He was so patient with with me. He worked up info on 3 different vehicles, comparing lease vs sale on 2 of them. I was not able to arrive until 530 and he stayed until 8pm to complete our paperwork. He even insisted on helping me learn the features and personalized my new car.
We recently purchased an Acura from Gary Force Acura, and the experience was outstanding! Our sales consultant, Matt Randall, was exceptional from start to finish. He took the time to understand our needs, patiently guided us through our options, and provided honest, knowledgeable advice without any pressure. Matt’s attention to detail and genuine care made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We’re thrilled with our new Acura and can’t recommend Matt and the team at Gary Force Acura highly enough. If you’re looking for a great car-buying experience, Matt is the one to see!
We had a wonderful experience due to Matt Randall our sales person. He was not pushy and very informative. He knows his stuff and you could tell he had good intentions while helping us. It truly made the whole process start to finish very enjoyable. I would highly recommend asking for Matt when you get there
Wonderful experience! With the salesman and especially the business finance manager! Thank you!!
I have been the recipient of Gary Force Acura’s exceptional service and customer relations for 40 years, no previous experience ever began to compare.
This is my second vehicle from Gary Force Acura and the car and service experience are fantastic!
Todd is the best! This is the 3rd Acura I have bought from Gary Force and 2nd from Todd. He has always gone out of his way to make sure that I am happy and he will do everything he can to make sure you get the best price. The buying process is easy and smooth. Thank you again for the great experience!
Have been using Gary Force for all my service needs for the past 9 years. Pricing is competitive. Tim Durbin is a wonderful service manager being that my needs are met to my satisfaction. My car is returned to me in better condition than I left it and spiffy clean. Thankyou Tim and the rest of Gary Force service team!
Our salesman Chris, even greeted us. It was a great experience. The only thing was we had to call them to check on our car, it was getting late in the day. Upon pick up they couldn’t find the paperwork. Everything else was excellent, thank you.
Everyone at the dealership was pleasant, professional, and helpful answering our questions throughout the process from the moment we drove onto the lot until we drove away in our new car. It truly was the best car purchase I've experienced. Highly recommend this dealership. Ask for Tyler
I picked up a new 2025 Acura MDX this week and I wanted to take a moment to recognize folks that helped me. My first Gary Force Acura purchase was in 1994 and we have purchased many new units over the years (I have lost count). Eric Green and Kurt Finley are wonderful representatives of your organization. They are Honest - Sincere - Knowledgeable- and Professional and make the process a little easier. Trey Butler handled the closing process flawlessly. In Business; I have had opportunity to interact with other local dealerships including Cadillac and Lexus and while they have some positives; ...
Luis, our sales consultant, was excellent and really answered all our questions, and took the time to ensure we were happy with our purchase. A fantastic experience all around at Gary Force Acura Cool Springs including sales and financing! Will definitely come back!
Best car buying experience! Todd Murray made the entire experience so easy! Highly recommend Gary Force Acura❤️
Tyler was truly a standout sales representative during our visit to Gary Force Acura. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely cared about providing us with a great experience. Tyler’s extensive knowledge of the truck we were interested in was impressive—he confidently answered all of our questions and provided detailed explanations about the vehicle’s features, performance, and benefits. His passion for his work and his expertise really shone through, making us feel assured about our decision. What sets Tyler apart, though, is his personable and down-to-earth approach. He wasn’t just trying ...
I had the pleasure of working with Matt at Gary Force Acura, and let me tell you—this guy is the real deal. No pressure, no nonsense—just a genuinely pleasant experience. Matt’s got a chill California vibe and somehow manages to balance being a drummer, photographer, and car guru all in one. Shopping for a car with Matt felt more like catching up with a talented friend who also happens to know everything about Acuras. Matt’s a great guy.
Lenny was a pleasure to work with. Very product knowledgeable and no pressure sales.
Mike Lowe is the Best!
I bought a 2021 Acura SH-AWD TECH w/approx. 18K miles and love it!! Gary Force Acura Team were professional, friendly, caring, made it easy and a smooth transaction, great vehicles at great prices. Gary Force Acura is truly the best! Highly recommend for your next vehicle whether new or used!
Chris was wonderful. The whole experience was fast and efficient!
