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 and professionalism across the board at Gary Force Acura. Big thanks to David and Beau for educating me about the vehicle and making sure I had a great experience.
Everyone was helpful at the service department. They were fast and professional.
I got service done on my Acura. Has a nice waiting room and they were quick with my service. I will return for service in the future.
Great working with Sam to make our decision effortless. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating with every question my wife and I had throughout the entire buying process. Superb experience.
Great dealership! Have been respectful of my time and taken great care of my MDX.
Purchased a 2020 MDX last night and I have been completely satisfied with this whole process.From top to bottom this is the most professional team I have seen.We got a great deal and they covered every detail about the vehicle.If the vehicle is as good as the people that sold us ours,,we are Acura customers from now on
Lenny was amazing and made sure I was comfortable with every setting in my new car.
Nick in the service department was very helpful and explained everything. When I got there to pickup up my SUV, I was told it was being cleaned. The guys in service came in letting me know my car would be right out. Great customer service by everyone.
Nick was so awesome! They made it so convenient to have my car serviced there. Fast turn around and awesome communication. Thank you again!
Great customer service and the process of the vehicle purchase was easy and low stress. Really enjoying my newly purchased Acura.
Hands down, some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. I began my day of car buying with very low expectations for an enjoyable experience and was pleasantly surprised by Sam Lavendar and this dealership. I never once felt pressured or cajoled, my first time questions and hesitations were handled with respect and care and they made every effort to make the whole experience as smooth and painless as possible. I hope to never have to buy a car from anywhere else ever again!
I really appreciated the helpful, friendly and efficient salesperson Trey Butler. Other dealerships’ personnel were not as eager to please. Looking forward to my Gary Force Acura experience ahead.
Lee Hoppe and the management team at Gary Force Acura made my car buying experience so smooth and easy, actually enjoyable. I will definitely refer the dealership to family and friends. I will be back for future purchases.
Very friendly and the service was very good.
I have bought two cars from Gary Force Acura, and I don't believe that I could have gotten a better car buying experience from anywhere else. From my initial phone call to driving away with my new beautiful TLX, my salesman, Mike, was exceptionally helpful, kind, and courteous. He made sure my every car buying need was met, and made the process as quick and seemless as possible. Pair that with driving away with a beautiful, fun to drive TLX, that also has every luxury feature that you can imagine, along with Acura's reliability built in, and you have an ...
For maintenance of my vehicle. Acura and Mazda Excellent workers to work with and always accommodating for the needs of their customers. They always do a once over on your car and will let you know if more work is required then they will explain of it's importance and allow you determine if you what it done or not. Congrats to Joe Trail and his team!
We had a wonderful experience purchasing our Certified RDX SUV from at Gary Force Acura. Lee Hoppe, our sales associate, found the car we were looking for and called us immediately when it was traded in. We absolutely love it - drives great and Lee has already followed up with us to make sure we are happy. We look forward to working with him in the future.
My wife and I were researching SUVs, looked at several different cars and dealerships, and decided to buy from Gary Force. We had a 2008 Acura RL and liked it. We bought a 2018 Acura RDX for my wife's use. She loves the car, already familiar with Acura. Eric was our salesperson. He was excellent! Eric is very experienced and knowledgeable. There were a few minor issues with the car, and he handled everything for us, working with his Service Department. We settled on a fair price, printed all service records and a Carfax report for this one owner car serviced exclusively ...
Todd Murray (sales) and CJ Mohler (finance) was the absolute best! The entire process was seamless! Definitely would recommend to ANYONE!!!
This is how you buy a car. Gary Force Acura was very easy to work with during the purchase. We performed our own research and requested quotes from four dealers. We did not shop the quotes so no one received an advantage. Gary Force Acura beat them all.
Going to Gary Force Acura was a dream! Lenny Krakauer is your guy. He's honest, knows everything about the cars, not pushy, and overall JOY to work with! Amazing customer service! Thanks GF crew.
Scheduled Maitenance appointment online hassle free. Showed up for my appointment, met with Nick who made the process as smoother than I could have ever imagined. Was warm and inviting answers all my questions and did a great job getting me back on the road quickly and safely.
Always receive professional and excellent service!!
My daughter’s ILX needed a headlight replacement and I took it in without an appointment. The Service Adviser asked if I needed anything else and i mentioned it would be back in soon for timing belt replacement and the oil life was at 30%. He said he would mention it to the Technician. After a reasonable wait and a very reasonable repair cost, my Adviser said the Technician actually checked the condition of the belt and reported it looked great. Great news for a car with 102,000 miles. And no charge for the inspection. Another reason we just bought a 2020 MDX.
Excellent workers to work with and always accommodating for the needs of their customers. They always do a once over and will let you know if more work is required then they will explain of it's importance and allow you determine if you what it done or not. Congrats to Joe Trail and his team!
Our salesman, Todd Murray, was excellent. He negotiated well and in good faith, brought our new car to us, communicated promptly, and quickly made sure a repair was made to the car after we detected a minor issue while test driving. Great service!

Excellent experience. Just leased my second Acura from Gary Force Acura in Cool Springs. The sales dept and service dept are both excellent. My salesman was Peter Corey and I highly recommend him.
Just bought my 3rd car from Gary Force (Mike Lowe), and once again it was a great experience. They make if hard for me to consider going elsewhere.
I recently leased a 2021 Acura RDX and I cannot express how easy the process was. My salesman, Lenny, was transparent and not pushy and really took his time explaining information and answering my questions. From arriving to departing all the staff was nice. I would highly recommend checking them out for your new and used car needs.
Excellent experience purchasing my new car here. Lenny was very helpful and knowledgable. Thanks for the help.
Salesman Lee was awesome .We traveled from Memphis to get our vehicle, he had it sitting on the showroom floor with drive out tags already to go!!

I love working with everyone at Gary Force Acura. This week I just got my 3rd MDX and all three times I have had outstanding customer service from Robert Hunter - Sales/Finance Manager at Gary Force Acura. Being that it was my 3rd MDX, Robert remembered exactly what I was looking for in the MDX and couldn't have made the deal go any better than he did.He made sure I was happy with the vehicle and showed me everything I needed to know on the newest 2020 MDX. Efficient with all the paperwork, always answering all my million questions, ...
Love this dealership! So helpful and friendly! Excellent service! Honest info about your car and what service is needed.
I bought my Acura MDX in 2012, and for the past 8+ years, I have had its service done at Gary Force Acura. Eight years, and every single time they've been professional and courteous. I always request a loaner car, and it's there and clean and ready to go. They keep me updated during the service, and they don't suggest unnecessary services. My car is running just as good now as it did when it was brand new. My next car will be another Acura from Gary Force.
Another great experience with Gary Force Acura and Robert Hunter!
Àlways great service.
2nd car we've bought from Eric, will definitely go back to him when we're in the market again.
Just bought my 3rd car from Gary Force (Mike Lowe), and once again it was a great experience. They make if hard for me to consider going elsewhere.
Samantha was super helpful and kind. Kept me updated on things going on with my car. I was able to go right after work and wait while my car was being looked after.
This would have been an Excellent experience but one of the reason for my Visit was finding a replacement Light Cover for the interior driver side door. They completely forgot to address that and focused on the more costly services. The Dealership is far from me so one wants to maximize every visit. When I called about the missed issue the rep I spoke to was very passive about It. He offered for me to purchase item and ship it at a cost to me. Considering they had noted this in their Notes and admitted forgetting about it they could ...
My experience was great at Gary Force Acura. Mike’s energy was magnetic ,he was very thorough in explaining things to me. He even hand delivered the car to me in Huntsville Al. This was the best costumer service I’ve ever experienced.
All of the staff at Acura are super friendly and knowledgeable. Robert helped my husband and I find the perfect RDX A Spec. It is an absolute dream! Highly recommend this location! Especially with all of the things going on right now with COVID-19, everyone wore masks and made sure everything was sanitized. If we wanted to test drive a car, Robert just handed us the keys and let us drive. The whole process of finding the right crossover was such a breeze.
Ask for Sam Lavender, he knows Acura’s. Especially the RDX. I am very happy with my purchase and will definitely choose Gary Force in the future
Tim was fantastic!!! Got my car done quickly and was super helpful!!! Will definitely be back
The service was great, and they kept me up to speed all along the repair process.Will always use them with my Accura.
Excellent professional staff. Sam, our sale rep , was very knowledge of the product took time to explain all the operational functions of the vehicle in great detail. He was easy to work with and spent a great deal of time with us. He provided outstanding customer service. Without question were had an excellent buying experience.

I love my Acura TLX!!! My sales guy, Lenny was Awesome! He sat in my car with me and gave me a tutorial session on how to use everything. He was so helpful and very knowledgeable.
My 2019 RDX had a factory recall and needed to be repaired at the dealership. I could not go there due to the Pandemic. My salesman, Peter Corey picked up my RDX and returned it after the repairs. He went above and beyond to help me. Outstanding Customer Service

Eric Green at Gary Force Acura was excellent. I've been having an Acura serviced there since 1998. It came time to replace a vehicle and Eric found the perfect option within a day. The sale was as smooth a process as I could've hoped for.
Easy appointment on-line and hand-off at the dealership. Kept me informed when a problem arose so I could manage my day. They have kept my Acura TL running for 20 years!
Joel Trail and his outstanding service team came through for me again. I had a couple of different issues going on, and both were resolved quickly and with attention to detail. The entire team did a super job taking great care of me and my TLX. These guys are true pros!
These guys are always the best!
Had an a1 service was great I just wish they had a shorter wait time maybe 1 hr
All associates were friendly, knowledgeable, and worked hard to provide us with optimum customer service, and the deal we felt comfortable with. We have been long term customers and will continue to be.
