2022 Acura TLX Type S

Stock#: 260083AA

The TLX Type S distinguishes itself from the standard TLX through an aggressive, wide-body aesthetic and functional performance upgrades. Its exterior is defined by an open-surface Diamond Pentagon Grille—redesigned to provide 14% more airflow to the engine—and signature quad-round exhaust finishers that produce a distinctive V6 growl.

Inside, the cabin blends high-tech functionality with premium comfort. The "Sport Cabin" features authentic materials like Ultrasuede® and Milano leather, complemented by a flat-bottomed heated steering wheel and metal sport pedals. The Canadian model is particularly well-equipped for local climates, featuring standard heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a sophisticated remote starter system.
