(March 21, 2014) The production Acura TLX performance-luxury sedan will make its world debut at the 2014 New York International Auto Show. The Acura TLX prototype was shown at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Designed to compete in the midsize luxury segment, the 2015 Acura TLX will deliver higher levels of luxury refinement and sports-sedan athleticism with exhilarating performance enhanced by next-generation Acura powertrain and dynamic-handling technologies.

The 2015 TLX will offer two advanced new powertrains - a 2.4-liter 16-valve, direct-injected i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine mated to an all-new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with torque converter; and a 3.5-liter 24-valve direct-injected i-VTEC V-6 mated to a new 9-speed automatic transmission.

Two-wheel-drive models, available with either the 2.4- or 3.5-liter powerplants, will utilize the next-generation of Acura Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) technology with independent left and right rear-wheel toe angle control. The TLX SH-AWD, available exclusively with the 3.5-liter powerplant, will employ a next-generation Super-Handling All Wheel Drive system that is 25-percent lighter and incorporates new torque-vectoring control logic.
