The 2021 TLX houses a direct injected 272 horsepower108 VTEC® turbocharged engine that delivers torque down low and through the entire rev range. It’s paired with a 10-speed transmission for quicker acceleration, sharper throttle response, and seamless gear changes.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) provides seamless power transitions and exhilarating agility. Enjoy the rush of high-performance cornering and the all-weather advantages of an advanced all-wheel drive system.
When it comes to handling, the 2021 TLX makes no compromises. The new double-wishbone front suspension and available Adaptive Damper System deliver precision handling and powerful cornering grip over almost any road surface.
