Biggest Upgrades from the Previous Model
Although the 2023 Acura TLX has only a few notable enhancements compared to the previous all-new 2022 model, the return of the Type S trim is a significant development. This trim is back after a 15-year absence, featuring a turbocharged V6 engine and a chassis that is specifically tuned for optimal performance.
Designed to push limits, the Type S is a comprehensive performance package equipped with a powerful 3.0-litre turbo V6 engine that produces an impressive 355 horsepower and 354 lb.-ft of torque.
Interior Layout and Options
The 2023 Acura TLX provides an opulent and spacious interior, with three trims to choose from: A-SPEC, Platinum Elite, and Type S. The base A-SPEC model features an HD colour center display with True Touchpad Interface, Ultrasuede leather-trimmed seating surfaces, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
Upgrading to the Platinum Elite trim offers additional features, such as perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces with contrast stitching and seat piping, a heated steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting.
The Type S trim highlights performance-oriented details, including aluminum sport pedals and bolstered front seats with Ultrasuede inserts. Moreover, the exclusive TLX Type S special edition adds unique design elements and red interior lighting to make it stand out.
Exterior Layout and Options
The 2023 Acura TLX has a sleek and athletic exterior with numerous colour options and three distinctive trims.

The Type S trim features sporty design elements, such as quad-round exhaust tips and a rear decklid spoiler. The exclusive TLX Type S special edition comes with gloss black accents, unique 20-inch wheels, and a rear diffuser, giving it an even more aggressive appearance.
Technology, Infotainment, and Connectivity
