Exploring the 2025 Acura TLX A-Spec Before It’s Gone: Features, Drive, and More

If you’ve had your eye on the Acura TLX, now is the time to get excited—and maybe a little nostalgic. Acura has announced that production of the TLX will come to an end after the 2025 model year, marking a bittersweet farewell to a sedan that’s been a cornerstone of the lineup for a decade. But before it’s gone, let’s dive into what makes the 2025 Acura TLX A-Spec so special, based on a thorough walkaround and test drive by Nathan Held.

Striking Looks That Turn Heads

First impressions matter, and the TLX A-Spec delivers in spades. Its urban gray pearl paint is a standout—a color that sparkles with metallic flakes in the sunlight and has become incredibly popular over the years. Up front, the bold glossy black grille paired with the signature Acura logo immediately tells you this sedan means business. The jewel-eye LED headlights and chicane daytime running lights set the tone for a thoroughly modern, athletic vibe.

On the side, 19-inch dark graphite wheels and A-Spec badging catch the eye, while blacked-out accents run along the mirrors, window trim, and the rear spoiler. Unlike the ever-growing swarm of SUVs, the TLX reminds us what a true sedan trunk looks like—with fold-down rear seats for extra space and convenient fix-a-flat storage underneath.

Luxurious Comfort Meets Sporty Details

Step inside, and you’re greeted by ebony leather-trimmed sport seats with micro suede inserts. The combination not only looks sharp but provides a hug-like comfort that’s perfect for dynamic driving. Passengers in the rear aren’t forgotten either, with two USB-C fast chargers, rear ventilation, and ample storage.

The driver’s experience is dialed-in for performance: a fully digital instrument cluster, performance-oriented dashboard styling with red stitching and etched chromatic accents, and an easy-to-use infotainment system. Not to mention wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, and heated and ventilated seats for ultimate convenience.

Power and Performance Where It Counts

Under the hood, the TLX A-Spec packs a punchy 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine delivering 272 horsepower—plenty to give this low-slung sedan a real sense of urgency. Super Handling All-Wheel Drive offers impressive grip, while mode selectors let you dial in Comfort, Normal, Sport, or even customize it just for you.

On the road, Nathan noted the tight turning radius and the responsive sport mode, which sharpens handling and ramps up engine response. The flat-bottom steering wheel adds a touch of racing flair and practical agility for spirited drives.

Cutting-Edge Safety and Tech

Acura packs the TLX A-Spec with modern safety features: adaptive cruise control for effortless highway cruising, lane keep assist to gently steer you in your lane, blind spot monitors, and a highly functional backup camera with adjustable angles and cross-traffic monitor. It’s all covered by a generous 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty.
