- Acura will reveal the next-gen TLX sedan on Thursday, May 28, at 1 p.m. ET.
- A teaser video shows what the turbo V-6 in the high-performance TLX Type S will sound like.
- The standard TLX will be powered by a turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder borrowed from the current Honda Accord, and the more powerful TLX Type S will use a new turbo V-6.
Acura’s best-selling TLX sedan is getting a redesign for 2021 and will include a high-performance, all-wheel-drive Type S model. The new TLX will be revealed on May 28, although Acura has given us an early glimpse at what the TLX Type S’s new twin-turbo V-6 will sound like.
The standard TLX powertrain will borrow the current-generation Honda Accord’s turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four and 10-speed automatic transmission but will be available with optional all-wheel drive. The more powerful Type S model will be powered by a new turbocharged V-6 that should have exceptional horsepower compared with the outgoing 3.5-liter V-6’s 290 ponies.

Acura Type S Concept to Preview Next-Gen TLX
The new TLX’s styling is taken from Acura’s 2016 Precision and 2019 Type S concept cars. The teaser image shows a TLX Type S with wide rear fenders, rear diffuser, and quad-tip exhaust, but most noticeably is the SH-AWD badge, confirming the high-performance model will get Acura’s effective Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system.
We expect the standard 2021 TLX will go on sale this summer with a base price in the mid-$30,000 range, and the high-performance Type S variant should arrive early next year starting in the mid-$40,000 range. We’ll have full information after the May 28 reveal.
