Acura TLX 2nd Gen

Reset on a longer-wheelbase platform with double-wishbone front suspension — the first Acura sedan to get that geometry in years. Standard cars use a 2.0-litre turbo four (272 hp, 280 lb-ft) with a 10-speed automatic; SH-AWD optional. The Type S, launched 2021, returned the badge after a 13-year hiatus and gets a 3.0-litre turbo V6 making 355 hp and 354 lb-ft, plus standard SH-AWD, Brembo four-piston front brakes, adaptive dampers, four-mode drive selector, and quad exhaust outlets. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds, Pirelli P Zero summer tires. The PMC Edition, hand-built at the Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio (where the NSX is also assembled), runs to 300 units a year. Reviewers consistently rated the Type S as Acura's best-driving sedan since the 2008 TL Type S — the chassis is sharper, the V6 has proper character, and the price ($54k base) significantly undercuts the BMW M340i and Audi S4. Acura ended TLX production with the 2025 model year.
