(April 1, 2019) The 2020 Acura TLX is set to begin arriving in Acura dealerships Tuesday (April 2) bringing with it four new premium exterior color options. The 2020 TLX will continue to be offered with two performance-minded powertrains, an available A-Spec sport appearance package, as well as a long list of premium features including the AcuraWatch suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, standard on every TLX.

Acura's midsize performance luxury sedan is coming off a solid 2018, where TLX outpaced key competitors from BMW, Lexus, Audi and Infiniti in retail sales.

The TLX's color palette expands with the addition of four new premium exterior paint colors, each at a price of $400 over the standard colors:

    Canyon Bronze Metallic
    Majestic Black Pearl
    Performance Red Pearl
    Apex Blue Pearl (exclusive to TLX A-Spec)

These advanced paints are engineered using cutting edge pigment technologies such as micas, metal flakes and nano pigments (super-high transparency), now offered on all Acura models to deliver Precision Crafted Performance in every aspect of the vehicle. Each premium paint color receives additional coats to enhance the color intensity and depth along with a special clear coat to further improve luster.

The 2020 TLX starts at $33,995 including destination charge, the same starting price as the 2019 TLX. The V-6 starts at $37,195 including destination.

The 2020 TLX is available in one of two performance oriented powertrains: a 206-horsepower 2.4-liter i-VTEC mated to 8-speed dual clutch transmission, and a 290-horsepower 3.5-liter i-VTEC V6 paired with a 9-speed automatic.

Front-wheel drive configurations of the TLX feature Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) as standard. This segment-exclusive feature offers independent left and right-rear-wheel toe angle control to enhance overall handling precision, low-speed maneuverability as well as high-speed stability.

TLX V6 models can be equipped with Acura's renowned Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) technology. SH-AWD allows up to 70 percent of torque to be distributed to the rear wheels, and up to 100-percent of that torque to be transferred to either the right-rear or left-rear wheel, creating outstanding control and agility in all weather conditions.

A host of premium features standard on the 2020 Acura TLX include the AcuraWatch suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, Jewel Eye LED headlights, a 10-way power driver's seat, heated front seats, Smart Entry with push button start, and an intuitive dual-screen user interface (ODMD 2.0), with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Available optional features include a 360-degree Surround View Camera system, heated steering wheel, next-generation AcuraLink connected services and a 10-speaker Acura/ELS Studio Premium Audio System.
