2021 Acura TLX: Elevated Style, Escalated Price
When Acura redesigned its TLX sports sedan for 2021, it emphasized the “sport” part of the equation with aggressive new styling and a resurrected Type S performance variant with a new turbo V-6 engine. When the 2021 TLX goes on sale, it’ll have a new price, too: $38,525 (including a $1,025 destination charge), for the base 2.0T model — $4,500 more than the model-year 2020 base 2.4L model.
