A Look at the 2019 Acura TLX: Updates and New Features

With the updated 2019 Acura TLX now landing at dealerships across the country, the model represents a continued commitment from Acura to cater to a wide range of tastes within the midsize sedan market. Fresh off a comprehensive redesign, the Acura TLX introduces an A-Spec sport appearance variant to the 2.4-liter models and continues to enhance its overall aesthetics with the introduction of a new Platinum White Pearl exterior color. Moreover, V6-powered Technology & Advance models have been spruced up with new 19" wheels.

Expanded A-Spec Appeal

The 2019 Acura TLX welcomes the 2.4-liter A-Spec, a new sport variant designed to appeal to those yearning for a more aggressive-looking sedan. While retaining the inherent elegance of the Acura TLX, the A-Spec adds an edge to its character with unique exterior design elements. Features such as a matte-black diamond pentagon grille, dark chrome border, and darkened Jewel Eye LED headlights bring an extra layer of sophistication to the TLX's sporty appeal. The A-Spec upgrades extend to the rear of the vehicle with a gloss-black decklid spoiler, "smoked" LED taillights, and an exclusive fascia featuring a lower diffuser and dual exhaust finishers.

Furthermore, the A-Spec variant features exclusive interior color schemes, ensuring the vehicle's aesthetic truly reflects the owner's unique taste.
