TLX Type S PMC Edition
Engine: 3.0L turbocharged V6
Torque: 480 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.9 s

The TLX Type S revives Acura’s sport sedan spirit with a chassis and powertrain developed specifically for dynamic driving. Its 3.0L turbocharged V6, designed in-house, produces 355 horsepower and drives all four wheels through the SH-AWD system with true torque vectoring. The result is a confident and agile midsize sedan that delivers real performance without sacrificing refinement or daily usability.

The engineering focus goes beyond straight-line speed. The TLX Type S features a stiffer structure than its predecessor, adaptive dampers, and double-wishbone front suspension for precise handling. These elements, along with high-performance brakes and optional summer tires, give the car composure and response in high-speed corners—making it more than just a fast A-to-B machine.

Its low-slung proportions, wide stance, quad exhausts, and discreet aerodynamic touches give it an understated but athletic presence. Combined with its balanced power delivery and sharp steering, the TLX Type S offers a rewarding driving experience that places it firmly within the sport sedan category—even if it doesn’t wear a German badge.

Body Styles

Four-door mid-size luxury sport sedan with aggressive fastback-inspired styling. Positioned between compact executive and full-size sedans, the TLX offers a lower, wider, and more dynamic silhouette than its predecessor.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The name “TLX” is a continuation of Acura’s alphanumeric naming tradition, replacing both the TL and TSX in a single global model. “T” references the TL lineage — once Acura’s best-selling sedan — while the “X” implies a sportier, crossover-influenced edge to the chassis dynamics and styling. The redesigned TLX launched in 2021 marks a major leap for Acura, being built on an all-new platform developed exclusively for the model. It showcases Acura’s "Precision Crafted Performance" ethos, especially in the Type S version — the most powerful TLX ever built, reviving a beloved performance badge.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The TLX palette includes performance-inspired hues like Apex Blue Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, Majestic Black Pearl, and Modern Steel Metallic. Type S models add Tiger Eye Pearl and PMC-exclusive paints such as Curva Red and Gotham Gray. Gloss black accents, dark chrome, and quad exhaust tips visually differentiate the sportier trims.

Inside, materials and finish are premium across the range. Base models offer leatherette and aluminum trim, while higher trims include Milano leather upholstery in Parchment, Espresso, Ebony, and Red. Type S variants receive Ultrasuede inserts, contrast stitching, flat-bottom steering wheels, and optional carbon fiber trim. The 10.2” center display is controlled via a True Touchpad Interface, with a 17-speaker ELS Studio 3D sound system optional on upper trims. Ambient lighting themes are inspired by iconic global destinations like Suzuka and Pacific Coast.

Wheel options range from 18-inch silver alloys on base trims to 20-inch Shark Gray split-five-spoke wheels on Type S. The PMC Edition features gloss black forged alloys with copper-colored brake calipers and Pirelli P Zero summer tires.

vs Competitors

The TLX faces off against the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4, Genesis G70, and Lexus IS. While German rivals emphasize badge prestige and rear-drive handling, the TLX strikes back with bold design, standard tech, and value-packed performance. The 2.0T matches the power output of many base German sedans but undercuts them on price. The Type S, meanwhile, is a spiritual successor to the TL Type S and competes well against the M340i and S4 — offering AWD, sport-tuned chassis, and expressive design. Though rear legroom and trunk space lag slightly behind some rivals, the TLX compensates with superior interior ambiance and dynamic poise.

Fun Fact

The 2023 TLX Type S PMC Edition was hand-assembled at Acura’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio — the same facility used for the NSX supercar. It’s one of the only sedans in its class to offer quad exhaust, all-wheel drive, and a V6 in a segment increasingly dominated by turbo-four powertrains. Its exterior paint colors were borrowed directly from the NSX palette, making it one of the most visually striking Acuras in history.
