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
Excellent service dept. Tony was very polite and always great at explaining the service. This dealership does good work and can be trusted to honestly evaluate what needs to be done.
Eric Green worked very hard to get our car delivered to the dealership in a timely manner. He was very patient with me on our several phone calls. thanks He’s going to give us some tech guidance next week. There’s so much to learn on our new MDX. This my 7th Acura from Gary Force and we love our new MDX Advance. We have never had any issues with any of our Acura’s and I’m sure our new one will be no exception. Thank you Gary Force Acura for another great experience!!! 😃 Sincerely, Bill and Susan ...
I was helped by Eric buying my first car! I had a great experience! He was so helpful in helping my find a car to perfectly fit my needs! He went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase and even after!! Exceptional customer service!
We bought a new RDX and our sales rep, Sam Lavendar, did a great job. He was extremely knowledgeable and he strived to meet our needs. He showed us a few different RDX including new and used. When the color and package we wanted came in it was supposed to be a loaner. Sam was able to get it for us the next day. It had two miles on it when we test drove it. We drove it home that day. Sam did a great job following up after the sale as well. He scheduled the installation of our accessories ...
Lenny has always taken such great care of my husband and I. He is very thorough and knowledgeable! The service department is great as well!
Its probably the most enjoyable car ever purchased. Lenny was a true pro it's been year's since I felt trust in a automobile dealership thankyou for making this painless
I GOT THE ABSOLUTE BEST SERVICE EVER... By far the easiest car buying experience EVER! I would recommend that anyone looking for a great selection of cars, LOOK at Gary Force Acura for their next automobile!
Totally professional and helpful with my car purchase. I most certainly will purchase other vehicles from Gary Force Acura.
My wife is in her third Acura in 20 years and I just recently got into my second, all from Gary Force Acura. We have always had a good experience from purchasing, through servicing, and trading. We highly recommend them as a dealer as well as there products and friendly services.
The dealership repaired a tire issue that happened on my way to work in a fast and efficient manner. Went above and beyond to work me into their busy schedule. I have all routine maintenance performed there and have always had a great experience with Gary Force Acura.
I had a problem with my Acura MDX and notified my service expert Tim Durbin. He pounced on it and reassured me they would take care of it. I have nothing but great service from him and Gary Force Acura. That is why my 200,000 mile MDX keeps coming back to them. Thanks so much Tim Durbin.
Gary Force Acura is the best…. They go above and beyond their customer service is top notch! I love this dealership I couldn’t imagine purchasing a car anywhere else. Our salesman Ben was so nice and professional. I would highly recommend Gary Force Acura to anyone who’s looking to purchase a new or even used vehicle.
Even thought the availability of new vehicles is not good we were able to secure one through the efforts of Trey. Very professional and responsive to our needs. Thanks!!!!
Anytime my Acura needs service it’s a no brainer to bring it to Gary Force. It’s easy to schedule an appointment online and you can even select if you need a loaner (which I usually do if it’s anything more than just an oil change), shuttle ride or if you’ll wait. If you need a loaner they have it waiting for you when you drop your car off. It’s a seamless process from start to finish. The complimentary car wash always has my car looking great when I pick it up as well. Prices for ...
Tim Durbin was very good to work with. I appreciate his patience and his courtesy.
I bought my original Acura Legend from Guy Force Acura as well as every new Acura since then. The reason for that long purchase history with the them is the quality of both their service, sales and management teams. Whether it is Tim, Joel, Mike Green, or Kurt, I have received exemplary service and attention to any problems I have experienced. My next Acura, whether a new RDX or TSX, will be from Gary Force because I love working with professionals who espouse the virtues of truth, honesty and transparency.
Sam Lavender was very knowledgeable and thorough. He spent ample time explaining the features of the car and how they compare to other trim levels. I feel confident that he guided me to the right decision. I love my new car, and love the red seats!
Tony at Gary Force Acura was a great help to get our 2012 RDX ready for our teenager to start driving. He called and texted us to communicate the needs for the car. He was upfront about the cost and did not pressure us in our decision. He was also very patient with my follow up questions. Overall, a great experience at this dealership. Michelle S.
This was the best car buying experience we’ve ever had thanks to Sam Lavender. Sam was extremely informative and quick to respond to our texts. Thanks, Sam!
I have an RDX and always bring it here for service. They are always nice,professional and timely. I highly recommend the service department.
Gary Force Acura is a very good place to buy a vehicle. The team is very friendly and the sales person, SAM who we dealt with is very good. He helped us in understanding in and out of the vehicle. I would definitely recommend everyone for Gary Force Acura if we really want to buy a vehicle. No additional charges as such when compared to other dealers. They are very transparent.
I truly can not remember the last time I enjoyed purchasing a car. Mike L. made this purchase as simple & enjoyable as anyone could.
Eric was great! He was friendly and very helpful. I went in for service and my car was nearing the end of lease and I was able to get a great deal to end my lease a few months early. The whole process was painless.
Eric Green offered the best sales experience of my life. No hassle no push and listened to me. Fastest process to get in and out ever. So good we bought a 2nd Acura on the spot. Eric gets the next one too. And Oh BTW Eric is delivering our 2nd Acura into KY 3 hours away so we didn’t have to drive back to TN today.
High level of customer service. Selling and servicing highly reliable automobiles. Service department is top notch. We rely on Gary Force Acura service department for maintenance on our 2018 RLX hybrid. Love that car! Great ride and interior comfort. Awesome fuel mileage.
Great experience with Gary Force. Very easy to deal with! Love my new Acura!
Tim is excellent! Thanks for the great work
Excellent customer service, I’ve always had nothing but excellence when bringing my vehicle in for service…even though I purchased it elsewhere. Guess where I’ll be going for my next vehicle? Gary Force Acura!!!
Excellent customer service!!
David Allen is extraordinary!!!! He made my purchase pleasurable , definitely I will recommend to my friends .
Exceptional customer service. Easy to schedule an appointment. Wait time was right on time. Very courteous and helpful.
Tim Durbin is the best he is a loyal employee and knows how to treat the customers it’s a pleasure to interact with him!
Service Department: No delay/immediate check in, fast service exactly as discussed, fair service fees as well as making customers feel valued, all rare in today's auto dealership/auto service world. Gary Force Acura has a great reputation which is why I decided to go there in the first place. I'm glad I did. They have another loyal customer.
Had a great experience. Beau Brannon was exceptional in helping me get my wife a 2022 Acura MDX Advance. He is super helpful and had most the paperwork done before I got there. Very easy people to talk to and they all made me feel welcome but Beau was outstanding. I usually dislike car dealerships in general but this place was great.
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.
The staff is very efficient and friendly.
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.
