Acura today revealed an extensive refresh of the 2024 TLX lineup that raises its sports sedan game, including styling enhancements front and rear, improved in-car technology, more standard features and a quieter cabin. The 2024 Acura TLX Type S, already the quickest, best-handling all-wheel drive sedan in the brand's 35-year history, advances with improved throttle response and additional tech features.
The 2024 TLX will begin arriving at Acura dealers nationwide in late November featuring a streamlined trim structure with Technology Package now standard; available A-Spec adding additional sport appearance, premium features and standard torque vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™; as well as the top-trim, high-performance Type S, which accounts for nearly 25% of all TLX sales. The previously optional Technology Package equips the 2024 TLX with premium styling and innovative technology features, including 19-inch wheels, Milano Leather seating, ELS STUDIO Premium Audio and Iconic Drive™ ambient LED cabin lighting.

The TLX premium sport sedan's performance intentions are conveyed through its low and wide stance, long dash-to-axle ratio, expansive hood, and a combination of sheer and angular surfaces and muscular curves.
All 2024 TLX models feature a new, more sophisticated front fascia with a frameless version of Acura's Diamond Pentagon grille first seen on the Acura Type S Concept. The sleek new design is framed by four JewelEye® LED headlight elements and "Chicane" LED daytime running lights. For a more aggressive look, the styling of every TLX also is enhanced with a new diamond pattern grille mesh, and larger 19-inch wheels with a machined finish are now standard.

TLX A-Spec receives new split-spoke 19-inch Shark Gray wheels, as well as large, dual round exhaust finishers and a new gloss-black rear spoiler, in addition to its blacked-out exterior treatment and A-Spec badges. With standard torque vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™, the TLX A-Spec is for buyers who desire enhanced performance and an even sportier appearance.
The styling of the more powerful TLX Type S is enhanced with a new open-surface Diamond Pentagon grille mesh, which provides airflow to its exclusive Type S Turbo V6 engine, and new Berlina Black 20-inch split-spoke wheels with Pirelli Cinturato P7 all-season tires. For drivers looking for maximum handling and performance, TLX Type S is available with high-performance summer tires, as well as lightweight Copper-finish Y-spoke 20-inch wheels first seen on the TLX Type S PMC Edition.
TLX Type S visually builds upon the appearance of the TLX with even more aggression and purpose. Distinct from any angle, the performance variant features an exclusive front splitter, rear decklid spoiler, rear diffuser, large quad exhaust outlets and red Brembo® 4-piston front brake calipers.
Two exciting new paint colors are available: The all-new Urban Gray Pearl, which is available on TLX A-Spec and TLX Type S, and Liquid Carbon Metallic, which is available on TLX with Technology Package and first debuted on MDX.

For an even more premium experience, the 2024 Acura TLX A-Spec receives extensive updates to reduce road noise in the cabin, including thicker carpet, new front fender liners, wheel insulators, B-pillar and door insulators. To further reduce wind noise, the front doors feature acoustic glass. In addition, the Active Sound Control (ASC) system has been enhanced to further cancel exterior sounds from polluting the interior ambiance.
At the heart of the TLX Type S is the Type S Turbo V6, a 24-valve, dual overhead cam 3.0-liter engine with direct-injection and a single twin-scroll turbocharger, producing 355 horsepower (SAE Net @ 5,500 rpm) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque (SAE Net @ 1,400 – 5,000 rpm). Exclusive to Type S models, the engine was developed by some of the company's most experienced powertrain engineers, including members of championship winning motorsports programs. Acura engineers retuned the 2024 TLX Type S' Sport+ mode to deliver quicker throttle response.
The best performing all-wheel drive Acura sedan ever, TLX Type S also features a sport-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission, double-wishbone front suspension, Brembo® front brakes and Type S-exclusive Sport+ driving mode. Power is distributed through Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system with true torque vectoring. The rear-biased system is capable of sending up to 70% of torque to the rear axle, and 100% of that to the outside rear wheel.
