2026 Acura TLX review

Acura TLX: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

8.4/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Acura TLX sits near the top of its class. Efficient in mixed driving; comfortable front seats on long trips. Base engine feels adequate, not quick and some features locked to upper trims, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $46,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.
