To me, it's the nicest looking sedan right now. I'm constantly amazed at how many people think the car is "slow". I guess if you race cars, sure? For a typical driver who wants a reliable ride that has an excellent mix of luxury, sporty, and good looking... This is a real winner. Only G70 gets close. Sound system blows away competition, the SH-AWD is among best in industry... This car has a LOT going for it, and as someone buying one in hopes of getting 10 years or more out of it, the Honda reliability is a massive plus. This is the nicest looking Acura I've ever seen (3rd Gen TL was once a car I wanted - that was nice too).

This thing looks sexier than any of its competitors. That Blue is stunning

TLX definitely needed a redesign, previous years didn’t look too attractive to buy. I am amazed how this vehicle looks now.

Acura is improving and that’s great

This is the most in depth review that I have ever seen on a car. I don't even need to visit the dealer for a test drive. I just hit subscribe. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful design looks great. I have 2015 tlx and it’s great people who hate on the first gen never owned one.

It had me at blue... Cubs blue! So now this is in my garage and I am loving it. It's a well thought-out sports sedan.

I test drove both a FWD version and the SH-AWD version and the FWD seems significantly faster from 0-60. I got a rush when I punch it and I didn't get the same feeling with the SH-AWD. I thought something was wrong and I took the FWD for a second test and I got that rush again. It is possible that there is added weight for the 4WD that makes the difference. Both cars have the same 272 HP and one is definitely feels lighter. I have seen others that tested it at 5.7 seconds. I have asked the dealership to order a FWD Aspec for me if they can find one. For those that are thinking that I am missing out on the Super Handling, I live in Chicago, no curves anywhere so I won't miss it that much. I like the feeling of a stronger acceleration. If they can't find the FWD, I will still be happy with the SH-AWD. Please note, the SH-AWD of the past was matched with a 290 HP V6 (Type-S 355 HP will be something). Of note, the P-AWS is gone for 2021, but since I had a RSX Type-S with headers at one time, I became very good on a track at tossing the Type-S hard into a curve effectively drifting the car. I tried it with the TLX and I toss it in the same way, probably because it is lower to the ground than my 2018 TLX. It was quite fun. I also took the SH-AWD into a hard curve and it was fun too. One is fun in one way and the other is fun in a different way.

Even though this was 3 years ago, i much appreciate that you were so thorough with your opinion that you would get this model over the previous v6.

Saw one of these on the road the other day and they definitely look really good in person.

Acura is heading the right direction. The new tlx is great IMO. Can’t wait for their upcoming MDX and “new sport compact sedan” 🔥

Thank you for the content Sir. The TLX looks really sharp. For the most part i'm being extremely patient knowing that spring 2021 is coming soon and the Type S will burst forth for the factory in Ohio.

Damn this looks DOPE

270 ponies and it does 0-60 in 6.5 while the accord does 5.6with 252HP ?! It better be that much more luxurious.

I went and test drove on its really nice felt a lil small but its a beautiful car to drive that type s is going to be a beast

Good job bro I just bought a 2021 and it is stylish, I enjoy my ride. Fast and comfort. Next do a video on tips and tricks 😉 of the system.

Sport sedans shouldn't take 7 seconds to go from 0-60.

Wait, did he say the 2009 TL “woke the world up to Acura”? The 2009 was the absolute demise of the TL. 2004-2008 were the glory years.

Cant wait to see a review for the 3.0t when it finally comes out

Dude, get a new bottle.none of us want cars designed around ’drink bottles’. Acura, Kia and Genesis keeping sedans alive, thank goodness - great review 👍

i hit "like" when you raised the roof lol 😂 nice.

My thoughts it would be real fly to have the screen pop out and go back in once the car is off overall; I've been with the Acura family for close to 5 and half years, so I've seen a lot of fo changes with the upgrades and car features it's definitely different when you have the car instead of viewing personal opinions and don't experience it for sometimes cant project something off as test drive that's not how the technology works like you can't meet someone and think you know them from a first date just no possible yes first impressions are everything but not with technology.

How does Honda Civics/Accords have better wheels than a luxury performance sedan is beyond me... Other than that, Acura is finally doing something right for once.

Am I the only person that likes the looks of the previous TLX A-spec model more than the new one? The rear end looks like an ILX, and the turbo engines don’t have the grunt, nor will they have the longevity of the v6 engines. I think everyone is starting to build cars with turbos with planned obsolescence in mind, and that’s not a car I could enjoy owning. Would be a nice lease though.

This is the best video for a walkthrough about this vehicle trust me

Would all the engine performances parts for the Civic Type R fit on this? I would think you could get up in the mid 300hp easily.

Not ready to call this TLX a "sports sedan" - It has below average acceleration, frustrating paddle shifting, and marginal handling. The new TLX is a nice overall package and strikes a good balance between sport, luxury, and efficiency. It is a big step in the right direction for Acura especially with KIA and Hyundai stepping up their game. But not a sports sedan. The 4 cylinder germans: BMW 3 series, Mercedes C300, and Audi A4 outperform this car and are closer to being sports sedans. This is why the Germans have tiered their line-ups. The Germans let you choose from 3 variations of most of their models... 4 cylinder / sports / full send batshit crazy. When the S Type arrives in spring 2021 with its 6 cylinder engine and dialed in suspension/transmission...that will be a sports sedan. Acura will not offer a full "M" or AMG version - its not their style.

I am looking heavily at Acura now. Lexus dropped the ball in a major way by not having ambient lighting in their vehicles. I was willing to purchase one just to sacrifice that feature but I can no longer do it after watching this.

Looks stunning🔥🔥

I definitely agree on the ugly emblem sensor plate. I feel like there's definitely other routes they could've taken with that, but I hope they'll fix it on the next year's model. The Type S Concept front emblem was perfect and they should've just used that imo

Ummm acura 3rd gen was from 04-08... 07-08 was the type s years. Still probably the best acura sports sedan

Honda's luxury fleet of vehicles is turning heads out on the streets with Acura SUVs.

The review is just awesome. Hooked.

Agreed the wheels are so.... bad? The last A-Spec TLX was great. They are so chunky? And I’m convinced Acura forgot about the radar system and added it in quick with that plastic piece. Why?? Otherwise, love the car.

Great video! New sub!

Not a fan of the red interior,especially with the blue exterior. Red would go better with the white or silver exterior imo.

Then Cadillac shows up with 472 and 668 hp CT4-V and CT5-V for slight more money than 355hp Type-S!

Man the colors of the those rims are weakest point in all trims unless it was silver which always stand out and was in their 2006 award winning model. They still look good

I Love This Car is Faster is Awesome Than a New Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400

Very nice. The touch pad needs to be thrown out along with the red dash lights..they need to work on the back lighting red color..it’s horrible like almost can’t be seen clearly

19:45 Im not sure but I believe (from seeing other videos) you dont necessarily have to swipe. If you want say the top left icon. Then touch your finger on the top left of the pad. You don't have to swipe to if that makes sense

Great review, this new Acura is beautiful.

Nice miles keep going

In their upcoming type S they better bring the bar up a bit. They need it to be successful.

Acura needs to do better... better yet Honda as a brand needs to do better I hope the type s gets less plastic and more leather

That sound system is not on the tech package. Regular ELS is though. Not the 3D

Wow, it's really clear where BMW got the taillights for their new 2-series!

I didn't know they had adjustable dampers on the A-spec unless you can adjust the non-adaptive dampers via the individual mode.

Good looking car

Love everything about it except the length should have kept it the same as the 2020 hoping they give the ilx a new interior and engine for 2022 model.

According to J.D. Power research data, 65% of TLX buyers are men, matching the average for the Compact Premium Car segment. They are slightly older than average (58 years of age vs. 56), and they're making less money than average,

Acura consistently a step behind 👏

I have a 2020 accord sport 2.0 Turbo and I wonder is the transmission the same as the one that's in the acura. Are they geared the same. I find my transmission to be immediate and intuitive in the accord

Hi.. Plz could you try volvo S90 2021 any of T class.. Thank you.... Talal Almowalled from saudi arabia

Call me a freak but I'd rather knock 300 off and give me steelies. Not premium but better than those wheels

More money than the last one , 150lbs heavier, slower , bigger on the outside but super small on the inside . Not to mention the FWD honda accord beats this TLX in handling, braking , acceleration, MPG , interior volume + cargo space and price .

Does it have 360 views or is that only with the comfort package that removes the aspec package?

Very detailed. Kool

How did you get a hold of the car so quickly?

Love that warp speed novid vaccine grill. Also available on the 2021 Type BS. Model

Wish we had that in Asia

I want to love my Honda’s again but until this comes with at least 350 hp I’m out. My 2017 340i is a full 2 seconds quicker and that’s a lot!

Acura is a real sport sedan.Amazing video presentation.!!!!/Frank-Slovakia/

This car would be perfect if they took the design of the 2021 Aspec front and merged it with the back of the older 2018-2020... not a fan of the rear on the new one.... I own a 2019 a-spec black....

I have heard different reviews and they are mixed some like it some not impressed at all that's why it's good to go and test drive for one self

Wait till the type s v6 turbo way better

I’m wonder how this new design tlx call sport sedan it has long body wider than previous . Driving this car like boat

Great exterior color. Nice interior color. But who in their right mind would spec a car with both together. The blue need a gray or blank interior.

How much do you think this will be in 2025

Is the v6 no longer available?

Don’t get the blue and red not looking right 😳

What was your observed mpg?

Where's the round exhaust tip on the A-spec

Those wheels are terrible. They look like they were an afterthought two seconds before showtime. I mean, they're amateurish.

Check out AHC garage here on youtube, they put body kit & vossen wheels on this same color car, really nice

Eww those wheels!

Pros: Very pretty, cool colors, great suspension Cons: Heavy as a Dodge Charger, will lose $30k in 3 years.

The Key is super old they should of been rubber because the service department likes to throw the keys around and scratch them up.

Nice video but your audio is very low need improvement

Love the blue

👍🏻 Acura

This guy really thinks that his big water bottle would fit in the cupholders or in the center consul.hello! It’s called a cup holder and not a big water metal container holder.

Big exterior, cramped interior......slow. Yuck

Nice review, thanks ! Another one I've been looking at online and the more I look the more I feel this is not going to do all that well. The car is huge, heavy, 0-60 is slowish, infotainment/dashboard looks boring and not as elegant as from the germans, A-spec gives me mixed feelings, I love the seats but also don't love the wheels, no spare tire. Then, you have the price that is rather steep, I'd expect Acura to be more cost sensitive option. On the other hand car looks real good in this blue color, has decent flare to it. But again, being this large it reminds me more of the american muscle cars - without the actual muscle - rather then Acura of the past....

Agreed. Kidding me with those wheels. Damn shame

Acura is still playing it to safe. The Aspec isn’t sporty enough. BMW M sport adds more performance than Acura Aspec. No upgraded brakes calipers and crappy 19” wheels with touring tires on it. The Type S needs at least 400 hp. Just not enough to pull me away from current vehicles

This is Def a case of looks better in person. Would still wait for the type s personally tho.

I like the blue and I like the red but I ain't Clark Kent so these colours don't belong together

Stop complaining about the touchpad. You said that if you lift up your finger then it will discontinue your touch point on the screen.. sorry buddy nothings perfect. it’s similar to your computer screen to wear if you don’t continually touch your screen then it won’t respond.

Hey get your info correct..lots of incorrect information about the car, package features, etc. Nice car. I drove it already.. it's a bit heavy and sluggish off the line.. its weighs too much ( almost 4000 lbs. ) The stereo is Insane...I like the sport mode driving... I'll wait for the type S.

Brand new car. Paint is already wrecked.

Lol. Honda is about functionality over refreshing the AC control unit.

Should of been a coupe

You do know that is a really big bottle don’t y’a🤣

That bottle gives me anxiety.
