Power That Demands Attention
So, what’s under the hood? The 2025 TLX Type S boasts a robust 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, churning out 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic and Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), it rockets from 0–60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 156 mph. If adrenaline is what you seek, this sedan doesn’t disappoint.
What Makes Acura’s SH-AWD® a Game-Changer?
SH-AWD® is Acura’s secret sauce for superior handling and driving fun. It sends power not just to the front OR back, but also between the rear wheels, giving you:
- Tighter Cornering: More torque is sent to the outside rear wheel, so you stick to the road in turns.
- Confident Handling: SH-AWD® keeps you planted, even on rain-slicked or snowy roads.
- Sporty Feel: Enjoy rear-wheel-drive agility with all the security of all-wheel drive.
Basically, you’re getting sports car dynamics wrapped in a luxury sedan package.
Interior Details That Wow
