Acura updated the model for 2021; it’s on a new platform and has new engines. It’s also longer, lower and looks a little bit meaner this year. We’ve driven it, and there are three things that we love about it, and two not so much.

On the love side, we’re all about the TLX’s interior. Upscale materials and a refined design give it a luxury feel. On the other side, we’re not fond of the multimedia controller, which seems overly complicated.

What else? Watch the video for more.
