Acura TLX Type-S video.

I drove the Type-S version of the Acura TLX a few weeks ago. This is a short video with a few thoughts.

In general, the Acura TLX is a great driving sedan. It received very minor changes here and there for 2024. Nothing anyone will ever notice. What it should have gotten is a touch screen, like the 2025 MDX. But it didn’t…

The main difference when compared to the A-Spec version is the new V6. While it is a fantastic engine it is a $7000 premium over the A-spec version. And a $12 000 premium over the “regular” TLX. Which is already great.

And yes, the V6 is better, as it always is, but is it worth it? At $57 000 the Type-S is a pricey sedan. And probably will end up not being that popular in the end.

In my opinion, the $ 45,000 version is the best deal. It also still has the great Honda 2.0 Liter Turbo that isn’t available in the Accord anymore. Although, again, it is still quite a price jump over a loaded Accord Touring at $ 39,000…

On the other hand, a slightly used TLX would probably be an excellent used car buy.
