- The 2020 Acura TLX’s goldilocks size makes it a great value among luxury sedans.
Shop for the new 2020 Acura TLX on CarGurus: cargur.us/wSmfG
Chris Wardlaw’s special PMC edition TLX combines Acura’s A-Spec and Advance Package with vibrant Valencia Red Pearl paint, black wheels, and black accents. It’s a stunning look, and will unfortunately be available to only 360 lucky shoppers.
The rest of Acura’s TLX customers will have to make do with “normal” sedans. Available with assorted combinations of the Technology, A-Spec, and Advance Package, even these mass-produced luxury sedans impress with their performance and cost-effectiveness.
The 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine under the hood of many TLXs will be good enough, sporting 206 horsepower and working with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The TLX also gets an optional V6 engine with 290 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque.
Inside, the TLX features comfortable and supportive seats, but the infotainment system leaves much to be desired. Working across two screens-one touch, one not-the TLX’s displays look outdated and the controls feel inconsistent. That said, both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto will work in the TLX.
Pricing starts at $33,000 for a base-spec TLX, plus $995 for the destination fee. PMC Edition cars are shipped in single-vehicle closed transports, bumping the destination fees on those cars up to $1,995.

The car looks like it will age well.
Mr psychometrics cuz it already looks aged lol
@@chadthefratboi1334 HA!
I'm a huge Acura fan. Currently on my 8th Acura which is a '16 TLX Advance. This PMC edition is so beautiful in that rich color. Can't wait for the 2nd generation TLX coming out next year. The concept Type S is awesome! The 2 screen setup in the TLX gets a bad rap in my opinion. I like it and appreciate that the navigation screen is totally separate from the audio/climate control screen. The interface does need updating as well as the navigation graphics but it really isn't nearly as bad as the automotive press proclaims. I'm totally used to it and it's like second nature to me. Never struggle with it at all.
yeah, not sure about all the hate. I like the dual screens
Andy Jacobs it just looks dated af at this point. But if it looks like the rdx the next one is gonna look just as bad.
Me too! I had a 16' Odyssey Elite with dual screens and it was wonderful. Completely intuitive after a day of driving! But I will admit it does look dated. Hopefully the new infotainment for the 2nd gen TLX wont have all the problems as the new RDX.
Pay $50k for a 2020 TLX that has the same dual screen infotainment setup as a 2017 Honda Accord??? I think not. #WaitForTheTypeS
As a 2013 Honda Accord**
It's still using the 2013 Accord platform.
@@ft9kop There is more to a car than infotainment or touch screen.... Such as driving dynamic and handling
@@Amerigo_Vespucci the new Accord platform far exceeds the 9th generation in handling. It's bull that Acura charges this much for an old platform.
Well let me tell you it handles way better then a regular Honda Accord to me. The handling does not compare.
You never mentioned the extra layer of clear coat for this PMC edition reason for that higher destination charge
I like your honest review, I'm driving a 2019 TLX aspec one of my favourite things about the car is the seats they're very comfortable and the sound that engine makes and my top things that I love about the car is when you take corners it's amazing how it handles
This will all be taken cared of with the next TLX can’t wait for that Type S!
Type s looks fucking slick
Can't wait for the type S model..
Don’t mean shit if it ain’t manual transmission.
the rear design looks outstanding. Very elegant.
Love your reveiws! Sounds like a nice uncle explaining
Ppl just love to complain about graphics and what not. It is not like you buy a gaming pc on wheels. Second they have android and Apple CarPlay just use that as your navigation.
The radio test was smart. Passed on an older TLX for CLA
Maybe you should let the dealer walk you through the car’s features before just driving. It’s really not that hard to adjust to the radio and climate controls. (No mention of Apple CarPlay which I use in my base V6; negates any need for the stock navi so you can use Google maps or Waze.)
As far as the dual screen, agreed. I also prefer an iPad lodged into the center of my dashboard. 🤦♂️
Is the Base 2.4L TLX cabin significantly quieter inside than the 2018 Accord ? Also which car drives better..and why ?
Great review Bro!! Good Job!!
Did you cook the brakes again this time?
Are these seats a cross between leather and cloth ?
This is a nice Honda Accord, is this the Japan market Accord?
hope youren ot just testing this limited edition but also the base model and maybe some others
What a beautiful car!
I would buy it
I dont understand why car manufacturers still put navigation/gps system in their car? Who even uses those anymore? I always use my phone GPS instead it's faster and better.
I bought it as a second car so I have no issues with the interior, yeah the redesign interior on RDX is standard for the next gen but that means more then 5Ok so I love this exclusive model. More tech means more possibilities of breaking down in my opinion
Going to look at one tomorrow then the Cadillac CT4-V. All those on here saying $50K, pass, are really just $30K and below buyers.
When that Type S comes out...😍
3:40 I want to point out the Google Maps app when connecting by USB is much better, and it works very well. I had access to features that I wished I had in my 2013 Sentra. Don't bother with integrated nav, nothing compares to big tech nav.
Nice ride👍
The next gen TLX will have the RDX infotainment system
Yup
Frankie B so I should just wait another year? Bc I hate the tlx infotainment. I’m waiting on the q50 refresh but I like the tlx so idk man
Carlos Hernandez yeah if you want the latest infotainment system
Lol that thing is just as bad. What’s with the massive ugly nob in the middle.
I love Acura but it’s time for a major redesign of the interior. And... maybe the exterior too!
Only up to date model Acura produce in 2020 is RDX - rest of the model line is facelift models :(
how does the Honda accord have a nicer interior? You’d think it’d be the other way around... Acura need to catch up
All Acura’s age well.
I drove the Acura TLX for a weekend. The problem is there is no TUNING KNOB on the radio, no TOUCHSCREEN on the NAVIGATION and no TRADITIONAL GEAR SELECTOR (push buttons only). I was glad to get my 2005 Acura TL back.
@resistance 0078 Not a boomer. That's who the 4th generation Acura TL is for. After the great looking 3rd Generation Acura TL (2004-2008) sales dropped like a rock. They had a car that car was nearly perfect but they threw it away and built a big, ugly replacement. Someone must have been fired at Acura. The radio is messed up and the navigation has not had a touchscreen since 2008. Listen to what he says from 2:50-3:50.
I'll hold on to my 2005 TL for now. lol
Same. Love the third gen
I'm still holding on to my 2000 Acura TL lmao such an easy car to take care of
Chris, Thanks for the review. I consider your opinion as a petrohead who enjoys sporty sedans, coupes and a tasty Miata. So I appreciate your perspective. To that end, I hope CarGurus provides you with a Kia Stinger GT2 (even the new GTS with adjustable AWD - for enjoyable tail sliding experiences). I know your colleague reviewed this vehicle already, but I’d so enjoy your thoughts as you release this vehicle on your special test loop. Thanks again.
So does Acura have no hybrids? I would love this with a mated electric engine. But bad infotainment
I think the mdx and rlx both have hybrid versions available
Gonna hold off until the type s.
The performance package fog lights its what makes the car drive faster at night. An automatic night rider
I hope Acura (Honda) will put a “longitudinal “ engine instead of a transverse one - you found in their Honda counterparts.. Liked what Cadillac (GM) did on their new sedans and SUVs 😑🤦♂️
I think the exterior design is one of the best looking in the market, but that infotainment system is, well, not good. Type S needs to hurry!
I call this PMS edition.
Anyone find it ironic the guy is talking about how the infotainment system isn’t up to date because of how difficult it is to use the FM radio???
Price as seen 25k
50k?? They are outta their damn minds. Nice car but no
Seemed antiquated next to the Genesis G70.
Yeah ok. 50k for some extra trim? No thanks. I'll wait for the type s to come out
They should add more horsepower to this car at least 320hp or 365hp like the g70 or Kia stinger
Acura should of at least slap a current gen rdx infotainment system into the tlx to attract more buyers
and the central infotainment is still same as 2016
I love Acura, I've had 3. But no way in hell I'm dropping 50k for this. Not with so many better options at this price point. Just wait a couple years and this thing will be 30k or lower.
My issue with Acura is that they've always lacked a true competitor to the BMW 7series and Mercedes S class. It's always been one notch below. The TLX competes with the 3 series. The RLX should compete with the 5 series. Then, there's nothing above that. Acura has been stubborn from day 1 and I feel like it's cost them sales and brand cache.
The Acura RLX is a full size luxury car that competes with the audi a7, bmw 6 series, genesis g90 & so on... the S class & bmw 7 series are on their own league.
When I knew it was 40k I was like no, it should be 33k to me.
If I’m paying 40+k I want a way way way better interior.... come on Acura step up the game
Hopefully you didn't cook the brakes this time.
I wanted this car so bad, my dealership has one in stock...but man that infotainment is so bad!
I have a '16 TLX Advance. The infotainment system gets a bad rap in my opinion. Could it be better? Absolutely but it's far from being awful. A couple of days getting used to it and it's second nature. I have no problems with it whatsoever.
I got use to it even though I always hated that dual screen setup from Honda to Infinity. But this being a limited production vehicle I smile every time I take the cover off because of that paint job
You can get used to using it but the quality, resolution and features of the infotainment are severely dated. Luckily newer models have Apple CarPlay.
ILX and TLX look good from the outside but interiors are painful.
Apple carplay is available, who would care about the navigation that the carmaker has???
lol that nav is the same as my 09 accord ex
Might as well get a Honda Accord for cheaper the price and similar horsepower depending on the trim
but acrua is built with better materials. Drive both and you will see the difference. TLX is very quiet inside.
Still think the third gen was the best TL
Man. It's crazy how Lexus and Acura can't get their infotainment systems right. Total deal breaker.
Android Auto takes care of that issue. I drive it daily and I'm always wanting new tech as in the latest and greatest. It doesn't bother me one bit.
@@drivecfl I use Android Auto, too. But not for listening to the radio. Android Auto can't totally fix a bad interface. Especially when the HVAC is also integrated into the infotainment system.
@@haze1123 you don't use the streaming music features?..lol
@@drivecfl Yeah, I stream music but I also listen to the radio. LOL
I don't use the radio for music. And this video explains perfectly why the radio controls suck.
I wish their leather was better. That’s it’s only flaw imo. Acura leather is the worst I’ve seen.
50 grand :)) good luck
Love the design... but that interior just ruins it for me.....
Thumbs down for this 50k Acura TLX but maybe a thumbs up at 30k just saying Acura
$50k for a car that Acura needs to play catch up on. No thank you!
Exterior is amazing, but that dual screen infotainment system is absolute garbage! They should be ashamed.
“Acura will only build 300 of these.” thanks for the helpful review!
I drive a 09 TSX and the interior looks the same, it is dated as hell, wouldn't buy it.
"...Honda(Acura) products have a habit still show up in a variety of fleets. The vehicle-sales sites of several rental car companies have plenty of Hondas for sale. As of this writing, Enterprise Car Sales lists 200 former rental Hondas for purchase. The majority of these are Accords, with Civics not too far behind, and models from the entire rest of the range sprinkled in. For those feeling like something a little fancier, 22 Acuras are also available. Hertz also has hundreds of Hondas available..." TheTruthAboutCars
I’ll still take a 2007 TL Type S
Miguel Ircontar Anyday bro 💪🏾
2003 CL Type S 6MT
What's wrong with the 2007 tl base?
@@C.G91 nothing, I have an A-spec 06 I love it
That’s what I drive in kInetic blue pearl love it!!!!
This car interior looks so outdated, so no thank you
Once you're driving it and how smooth and quiet, the safety tech, Android Auto and Apple Carplay, Acura is forgiven for a little while longer for not updating the infotainment layout in several years.
DriveCFL nah man they haven’t updated it in like 10 years is not acceptable.
So true - gone are the days especially the vehicles from 2004- 2010 when Acura's were just amazing (TSX's & TL's) and better than the BMW's during that time... They just messed up the whole line up by giving the interior of an Accord !!
Acuras look like any other car. They don't look like luxury cars. I'll rather get a full equipped Avalon.
Put the 2.0T and 10 speed from the Accord in this already!
DangerousDan no thanks.
DangerousDan you enjoy turbo lag ?
way better the infotainment of the new Honda Accord!! simple, touch screen , 8'' screen, looks clean and neat , easy to use, the 50k dollars for this edition of the TLX and you don't even know how to change a radio station !!!
HA! Good one!
Only thing I hate about Honda and Acuras is replacing the timing belts. Come on Honda, use timing chains like most Toyota and Lexus.
I’ll take this car over that awful Lexus IS especially considering IS horrendous infortainment system. Forget the fact that this car has 290hp because it’s very fast. Yes the TLX infortainment layout is Old Testament but at least I get apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Oh and better AWD system. I can go on all day
this is NOT a 2020 TLX
I rather spend my $50k for a KIA Stinger GT2
ACURA GET RID OF THE DUAL SCREENS!!!
Please Acura get rid of that awful dual screen layout
Naw.
it's the worst! It has so many electrical problems that it looks like a Christmas tree on your dashboard!
50 grand????? you could get a nice audi for that price... no thanks.
I suggest you should buy the Audi, and good luck with vehicle reliability and your exorbitant repair bills. As PT Barnum used to say, there's a sucker born every minute!
@@roncadorette9907 that might be partially true. But when the car has no issues it drives 10x better than any Honda. I've owned an Audi S4, and 5 different Honda cars. The way the Audi drives, it's more than worth giving up a little reliability. It's about what's more important to you. Saving every dollar, or enjoying every dollar. No right answer.
Type S or GTFO.
Sexy exterior but not worth it the interior is reficuls
That’s one sorry ass interior.
Que horrible frontal
That grill looks hideous
So far behind now its ridiculous. Live honda but get your shit together already
POWER their next generation is gonna put them all the way back in the game. The new RDX was only a sample of where they are going and it did extremely well against the competition. The 2021 models are gonna be so nice. There are already leaked renderings and spy photos of the 2021 models. This time next year they will be up there competing with Audi and BMW. They are already surpassing Lexus with the RDX.
@@AFCompany sure hope so but I'm done waiting moved on
POWER ya I feel you on that. Volvo, Alfa Romeo and others are stepping into Acura’s place. They need to start releasing their new stuff soon.
50k😂😂I get a benz
Laszlo Gaspar good luck calling your car into the dealership every 2 weeks
Looks freaking hideous
This is an OVERPRICED HONDA ACCORD!(even w/ a V6) @ $38K my 2012 INFINITI G37S SEDAN (6SPD) IS BIGGER BETTER STRONGER & FASTER. ACURA or HONDA should make their luxury cars eclipse the lower model brand
93remix my 2017 Chrysler 300 s // 300 horses , 264 lb ZF 8 speed transmission one of the best transmissions available will beat your 12’ genesis that’s of course stock vs stock .
Just came to watch. Lexus owner. Thoughts? None. I'll still get a Lexus.
This car is way underpowered and way far behind in performance level, for 50 grand i will take Q50 Red Sport 400 that has tons of power, i have no idea what Acura was thinking when making this car, its a luxury family sedan only, not a sport sedan, it lacks in power a lot, cosmetic changes doesn't make car a performance one, shame on Acura!
Overpriced sedan when you can get the Kia Stinger GT2 for the same price as the A spec
GTS300
A Kia?!?!?!?😂 😂 😂 😂
