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.

Tony was great, always willing to help. I appreciate him greatly, he is an asset to the dealership. Look forward to next service with his assistance.
Best customer service.
I was shown a professional service team. I was kept up to date for every step of the process and was able to utilize a loaner during the lengthy wait for the needed part to come in. Tony answered all of my questions and was very sympathetic to my unexpected needs. This was my first time utilizing the service department and I was pleasantly surprised with the high level of customer service. Thank you for showing you take pride in your work and have a goal to ensure your customers are satisfied.
Great service from start to finnish. Car was completed, cleaned and returned as promised. Terry kept me informed as the work was being completed. Thanks for the service.
Just traded in my 2019 Acura for a new 2022 model at Gary Force Acura in Brentwood. The entire transaction was easy and stress free. My salesman was Sam Lavender. He was great to work with. Great experience.
As always, this dealership and specifically the service team provide an overall great customer service experience. The only reason I did not rate this visit excellent was because they forgot to reset the maintenance Minder on the car.

Gary Force Acura is the best dealership and the most professional, and has excellent personal customer service. We had a trailer hitch installed and a minor repair to the Bluetooth system and they even found a problem I had not noticed and repaired it too under warranty. They are totally trustworthy and do a great job. Very pleasant to work with.
We had a great experience at Gary Force Acura! Trey was wonderful! He kept us informed during the entire process and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great buying experience. We worked with Trey in person, through texts, and via email and he was able to have everything ready for us the day we picked up our vehicle. If you are like me and hate spending all day at the dealership, Trey is your guy because we were in and out in under 2 hours and that included the test drive. I highly recommend the dealership ...
We always contact Tim when scheduling a service. He is the best. He answers all of our questions and his recommendations are sound and reliable. He makes us feel very comfortable and we would unconditionally recommend him and Gary Force Acura to anyone. Todd in Sales is awesome, too. We first met him in 2019 when we bought our MDX. The guy is amazing and always calls me by my last name when we drop our car off even though we don't service our cars but once a year. I wonder what his secret is in remembering people's names ...

I can't say enough great things about the team at Gary Force Acura. My salesman David Allen found the vehicle of my dreams color combination etc. and made the entire purchasing process an enjoyable stress free experience. CJ did my financing, explained my options with everything in detail and Beau Brannon the technology specialist/wizard helped me understand all of the bells and whistles that my amazing 2022 RDX has to offer. It is my second purchase from Gary Force and they are the reason if I am in need again of a perfect buying experience will continue coming back ...
Sam Lavender was incredibly patient and knowledgeable as he worked with this elderly, technologically-impaired customer. After his explanation of the sound system and safety features, I was confident enough immediately to drive back to Memphis. What a delightful vehicle! And what a delightful sales experience!
I highly recommend Gary Force Acura in Brentwood. My consultant was Todd Murray, and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was a great help, never pushy (like a lot of salesman). It was an awesome experience, and I love my car!

Very good service. I just purchased my third car from them. My last two were from Lenny Krakauer. I highly recommend him. Sales with knowledge and likeability.
Todd in sales and Tim in service...are my guys! They've taken care of me since I moved to Nashville nearly 4 years ago. I can't recommend them or Gary Force enough. Great facility with great people!

Excellent service!!! Tim at Gary Force let me know my car was being serviced, kept me up to date with work being done, and let me know when it was close to being finished. He answered all my questions and was extremely helpful in helping me with avoiding the problem I had in future. The service department always exceeds my expectations. Tim is very knowledgeable, respectful and courteous. I’ve been an Acura driver since 1983. This same dealership has continued to service all our cars with excellence.
Eric Green was excellent to work. He is extremely knowledgeable and very customer focused in all the right ways! We will gladly recommend him when the opportunity arises!

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.

Thank you Gary Force Acura for another great experience!!! 😃 Sincerely, Bill and Susan ...

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
