2021 Acura TLX
2021 TLX
Bold Exterior
The new 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 all-new 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. *available Spring of 2021
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 2021 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 2021 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.

READ WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Purchased a RDX from Gary Force Acura and the salesman, Mike Lowe, was outstanding. Their service manager, Joel Trail, also is excellent and operates a top notch service department. This is a super dealership to deal with.
I always appreciate the staff at Gary Force Acura. This time I worked with Samantha. She was friendly and professional. She kept me updated, which is very important to me. The reason for my 4 star review is that I dropped my car off with the expectation of getting my vehicle back later that day but my vehicle was not ready until mid-morning the next day. I intentionally scheduled the service for my day off since this is a 45 minute drive one way and having to pick up my vehicle in the middle of my work day was very inconvenient.
Thank you Todd Murray auto sales professional with Gary Force Acura! I LOVE my Z convertible and the service was impeccable. I found the Z online and everything the ad displayed was correct and the car was delivered to my home. Buying this car was an experience I've never had before and it was so easy, fast and just a perfect experience. Thank you Mr. Murray and Gary Force Acura my next vehicle will be purchased from you!
Everyone I know has stories about buying cars. I have a great one! Our salesman, Todd Murray and the Acura team were awesome to work with. We were in and out of cars and other dealerships for about 2 weeks. I got exactly the car I needed, and I am very pleased with the Acura advantage provided at Gary Force Acura.
Highly recommended, staff very professional. They take the time to go over every little detail of your new vehicle (purchased 2021 acura) and make sure you understand. The finance dept also provided excellent service making sure you understand your contract and you are aware of your optional services 😀
We had a wonderful experience at Gary Force Acura! Todd was very helpful and made the car buying experience so easy. I also appreciated Todd being transparent on if there are any issues with anything, to give him a call directly (mostly if it was me not being able to figure out a technological feature on the car, hah!). I’m loving my Acura so much.
Great personal service and professionalism. Our MDX recently had to be towed and left after closing on a Saturday night. We thought it was an electrical problem because of flashing instrument panel lights and car wouldn’t start (nor could it be jumped). First thing Monday I called and Tim already had the car in the queue to be diagnosed. He called a few hours later and said it just needed a new battery. This was our first visit as we recently moved into the area. We are very impressed with Tim and his integrity. Wouldn’t think of taking ...
Great People, Great Service! I have been a Gary Force customer for years and will continue to use them far all my automotive needs!
Good service
The procedure to purchase a new car from start to finish is absolutely seamless. The new car sales associate Mike is second to none. This entire experience well deserves the highest rating possible. It is a pleasure to do business here. All promises are met without fail. I live in Memphis. Called the dealership with an offer and they accepted. Mike picked me up at the Nashville airport the next day and I drove the car home. Gary Force Acura and Mike have truly amazed me! I will continue to do business here for as long as I live. Thank ...
The experience we had a Gary Force was amazing. Ryan answered all of our questions and didn't make buying a car a hassle.
I had my Acura TLX serviced by Gary Force Acura. I had requested a loaner car and when I got there Samatha checked me in and had me on my way in 3 minutes. The loaner was clean and full of gas and was very nice to drive. Samatha called me exactly at what time she said my car would be ready. When I picked up my car I drove right in and signed the documents for service and drove right out. Super smooth. This was one of the best car service visits I have ever had. Thank you.
Friendly, helpful and always a good experience. Thanks Terry
The technicians and staff at Gary force Acura are always professional and helpful. While no one is ever perfect, they do strive for perfection and the service manager Joel Trail runs an excellent department. I have used GFA numerous times and will continue to do so.
We love Gary Force Acura! The service is awesome. We always take our car there for service of any type. I forgot to mention that our last 2 vehicles were purchased here. Everyone is very friendly and helpful! I’m pretty sure my next vehicle will be from them also.
I've had my 2014 MDX serviced here since puchase. Every visit has been a 5-Star experience. My service advisor, Tim Durbin, is the BEST.
Best car buying experience in years. Excellent customer service / low hassle and efficient experience. Trey Butler was outstanding. He has excellent listening and negotiating skills combined with great product knowledge.
Had an appointment for a recall issue, we were in and out in under an hour. Courteous staff
Easiest car buying experience in 25+ years of car buying. I did all of my research and knew what a fair price would be to lease a TLX. I emailed them and asked for a price. Their price was better than I was expecting. It's the first time that I didn't have to go back and forth. I got a better than fair deal on email #1. No hidden games. No tricks. No dealer add ons. I put a deposit down and drove 250 miles the next day to pick up the car. Meeting the people in person was just as ...
Tony took care of my issue like he always does. Thanks Tony.
Yesterday was the first time I've had less than 5-Star service. I noticed my car sitting in the "finished" area for about 20 minutes and expected someone to tell me it was ready during that time. I finally went and stood at the cashier window. She was on the phone, but the tech noticed me standing there and came to say he'd misplaced my paperwork. I had been seated in the waiting area the entire visit watching the paperwork come and go on the end counter, which is exactly where he retrieved it. So, I fell through ...
I had an excellent shopping and purchasing experience at Gary Force Acura. I worked with Mark Thompson and he was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. At no point did I feel pressure to buy, which was appreciated as a woman shopping solo for such a large purchase. I was looking for a specific model and color and he helped me determine the best way to get it and kept me informed as I waited for the vehicle to arrive. It arrived a few weeks earlier than expected, and the actual purchase process was made easy and efficient ...
Had a great experience with Gary Force Acura, and specifically with Terry in the Service Department. He went out of his way to secure us a loaner while our MDX was being checked out and saved our baseball tournament vacation from being a logistical nightmare. Appreciate all of the help and excellent customer service we received from Terry and the whole Gary Force Acura team.
Great service and always completed by the promised time. Tim Durbin and his team are always courteous and knowledgeable about the work that needs to be completed. I highly recommend this dealership
The service team at GFA is awesome! They are super friendly, helpful and professional!
Great experience as always, Tim with the service department communicated well and ensured I was taken care of.
This dealership has always been able to work with my schedule to get my service visits completed with ease. They are wonderful to work with!
Great, friendly service and staff. Vehicle was ready when promised with free wash.
Mike Lowe’s is an awesome sales consultant! He shared all the many new enhancements with new vehicles. Definitely will reach out to him with questions.
Gary Force Acura is one of three dealerships within a 150 mile radius of my house. I had contacted each one, and even a dealership in California where I went to school, and Gary Force offered an unbeatable price upfront. I was completely shocked and thought it was too good to be true. I arrived at the dealership, all the paperwork was prepared for me, and everything explained thoroughly yet efficiently. I am extremely satisfied with the entire process and cannot recommend Gary Force Acura enough. Todd was an amazing salesperson and very transparent. I truly appreciate it!
Firstly, I’m a huge car fanatic. I study the car market every day in my free time and am always looking at the latest deals. I had to buy a new car in a three day period before moving across the country. I had contacted three other dealers in the southeast and Gary Force Acura gave me the best deal by far within first contact. They blew the competition out of the water and there were no gimmicks. Gary Force Acura is quick, efficient, and transparent. They don’t play games, which is rare these days. I arrived at ...
Tim Durban and staff were excellent, efficient, very helpful and very kind. This is why I have, not one but two. The ladies at the account desk are very warm and thoughtful.
As usual - excellent customer service as well as the work completed on my car. Tim provides such professional care and is always polite and efficient!!
Took a while to get the part I needed but gave me a loaner for 5 days no questions asked. Great place, great lounge area, clean and nice.
Only acura dealership in Nashville. Friendly service staff and clean location. Second time getting my car serviced and everything went well. Could have had better contact after I dropped off the car but the service and friendliness were very good. Although there is no other Acura dealership close by, they still do a good job
Eric Green was our sales representative and he did an amazing job. Eric made the process simple and enjoyable. He has taken the time to make sure we are completely satisfied with the vehicle and service. He has gone above and beyond to make sure we have peace of mind with our purchase. After I had test driven the TLX in black with tan interior but noticed another TLX in black with black interior that I was interested in on Gary Force’s website, Eric made sure that vehicle was available for me to test drive immediately. After test driving, ...
Trey Butter, at Gary force Acura in Franklin, Tennessee, was our salesman and was wonderful as we decided to and purchased my new Acura RDX. As promised, he notified me as soon as the vehicle that I wanted was delivered to the dealership, checked out and available to purchase. I was out of town and could not get into the dealership to buy this vehicle. He suggested that I put down a small deposit, so that he could put a SOLD sign on it, which I did. This 2021 SUV was much in demand, so I was so pleased that he ...
Great experience all around. 2nd car bought from Eric Green. He's the best in the business!
Peter is amazing! Best salesperson and was not pushy at all! Highly recommend! I have bought two cars here and my mother bought one with me also! Won't go anywhere else!
Gary Force has the best service department of any local auto dealership. I have done business with them since 2002. I have owned additional cars during this time of different makes. Mercedes, Lexus, Honda, BMW. No other dealer compares to Gary Force for their customer dealings, quality of work, and being fairly priced for their services. These guys put all the other dealers to shame. Service does matter! These guys do it right!
Peter Corey was a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgable and professioonal. I am excited to drive my new RDX!!
Service @ GF Acura is the best! Personnel are friendly, efficient, and experienced. All maintenance tasks were handled and the wait time was minimal, plus the area set aside for waiting was comfortable with even coffee and Danish! An easy experience for a mundane errand!
I truly couldn’t be happier with Gary Force Acura or Saleman, Todd Murray. My local Acura dealer couldn’t find me the 2022 Acura MDX I wanted. I saw Gary Force Acura had a couple of the MDX’s I wanted but they were 200 miles away. I reached out and spoke with Todd about buying the car and he made it so easy for me. I was worried about driving 200 miles and actually getting the deal we discussed over the phone. But Todd did exactly what he promised and more. We had an agreement over the phone and when I ...
I am a Memphis resident who was having issues with my local dealership. After taking it to them 4 times I had enough and Gary Force ( The dealership I bought my certified used vehicle from.) insured me they would take care of me. Not only did they fix the vehicle fairly quickly but they also fixed a tire that Memphis Acura said needed to be replaced without any obvious inspection. Thanks Joel and your crew!
Lenny K He was very professional in all aspects of our dealing with him.
Good service is key! No matter what you're buying, good service can make you enjoy the visit. Thank you Peter for your kindness, professionalism, and helpful/honest information. And the 2022 MDX is a great test drive!
I went in for my service at Gary Force Acura for the first time since moving to Tennessee and the service was excellent. I was in and out within 10 minutes of dropping off and picking up the car. They had a loaner car ready for me and I received an update on the car during the day.
Gary Force Acura did an outstanding job servicing my vehicle. Very friendly and polite.
My car was just totaled from our recent flood in Nashville. Eric Greene made replacing my 2019 Acura RDX with a new car easy and stress free. I told Eric what I was looking for and gave him a few options I wanted to explore and he was so wonderful to work with during such a stressful time. Thank you Eric for your help! I would truly recommend Eric and Tim, you guys are the best at Gary Force.
Samantha the service advisor was very helpful and professional during my recent visit to this dealership. She gave me prompt updates during the day in regard to the possible transmissions issues i was concerned about.
As always Gary Force Acura service rocks. From online appointment scheduling to drop off and pick is so easy. No surprises or add-ons and very reasonable pricing. Just bought our 5th Acura from Gary Force Acura.
We loved our experience with Gary Force Acura! Trey helped us find the perfect MDX, he was knowledgeable, and he answered all of our questions! I would definitely recommend shopping for your next car here.
This dealership provides outstanding service, starting from making appointment, reconfirmation, to the actual service, are simply perfect. The service coordinator are professional and knowledgeable.
Great service with service department. Nice loaner car for the day.
An amazing and professional team from sales to finance and the front room staff. Everyone is so kind. I want to especially thank Lenny our sales guy. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and made all of the process seamless. Lenny is the reason we bought from this dealership and will be the reason we come back! Thanks to the entire team but super big thanks to Lenny! He also did a follow up call to ensure everything was good with us and the vehicle! Amazing!
This is my second SUV from Gary Force and with Eric Green. Eric made it a great experience and is always there with any questions great cars, service and I will return for the my next SUV!
Everyone was so nice and my car was ready as promised!
I only buy and trade cars at Gary Force Acura. I personally wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. I purchased many Acuras there over the years and have loved every car!! The Acura quality and reliability is second to none! Gary Force always makes the process so painless! They make you feel like you bought a Bentley! I have also purchased from their used selection, which is very discerning. They are the best in town! I wouldn’t trust a car purchase to any other dealer in the region. Gary Force is a rock star!
My entire experience with Gary Force Acura has been fabulous!! From sales to service everyone was professional and welcoming. I am a customer for life. Thank you so much.😊
Gary Force Acura has been doing all of the service and maintenance for my 2014 MDX since I bought it new from them. Tim and Tony in the service department are great.
