The all-new 2015 TL X represents more than the latest

evolution of Acura. Rather, it’s the most compelling

realization yet of our driver-focused philosophy.

It’s power and control brought into perfect balance.

It’s anticipating where the driver wants to go, changing

the way wheels themselves move and guide you.

It’s uncompromised design in the name of unrestrained

feeling, putting exhilaration front and centre once again.

A car should put you in touch with the road. But that’s just the beginning. We believe reading the driver is just as important as reading the road. Every TLX – whether the 4-cylinder or V6 models with Precision All-Wheel Steer™† or the V6 with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™† – anticipates what the driver intends. It then constantly monitors road conditions and driver input to help stay one step ahead. These precise, seamless adjustments bring added confidence and the promise of an immediate thrill around every corner.

Races are won in the curves. Now curves have met their match. The available torque-vectoring Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD®) system was designed not just for tricky weather, but also for superior handling on practically any road.

How The Curve Was Won

P E R F O R M A N C E

A C C E L E R AT I O N

As weight shifts to the rear of the TLX during hard acceleration, the SH-AWD® system transfers up to 44% of the power to the rear wheels to take advantage of available traction.

H I G H WAY C R U I S E

In an effort to improve fuel efficiency, up to 90% of the power is sent to the front wheels when cruising in a straight line.

C O R N E R I N G

When cornering on dry surfaces, up to 70% of the torque is distributed to the rear. Torque vectoring allows up to 100% of the power to be distributed to the outside rear wheel, improving control and helping rotate the TLX through the turn.

L A N E C H A N G E

For increased stability during lane changes, the SH-AWD® system transfers power to the inside rear wheel.

S L I P P E R Y R O A D

Under slick conditions, SH-AWD® actively sends power to the wheel with the most traction.

S U P E R H A N D L I N G A L L - W H E E L D R I V E ™ † ( S H - AW D ®)

By continuously directing engine power to match driver input, weight distribution, available traction, and other conditions, the available SH-AWD system provides seamless power transitions and supreme control. And the new lightweight SH-AWD system in the TLX uses torque vectoring to add or subtract rotational momentum with a surgically precise nudge. The result is enhanced performance that simply can’t be matched by front, rear, or conventional all-wheel- drive systems, whether out on the track, or simply turning onto your street.

Joining forces with SH-AWD, Agile Handling Assist† actively applies braking to any of the four wheels independently. This helps the TLX pivot through every corner more accurately, aiding vehicle stability, maneuverability and control.

T O R Q U E D I S T R I B U T I O N

The available SH-AWD® system continuously determines the optimal level of power distribution between the front and rear wheels, as well as between the rear wheels, based on an analysis of wheel speed, steering angle, lateral G-force, and yaw rate (the rate at which the TLX rotates clockwise or counterclockwise).

P R E C I S I O N A L L - W H E E L S T E E R ™ †

Turning used to be solely the job of the front wheels. The TL X has changed that with the available Precision All-Wheel Steer system. It can adjust the toe angle of each rear wheel independently for increased agility and stability while cornering and also during braking.

P R E C I S I O N A L L - W H E E L S T E E R ™ †

From the chassis and suspension to the steering feel, the TLX is tuned for full responsiveness.On front-wheel-drive models, Precision All-Wheel Steer elevates this control to a new level. When compared with traditional two-wheel steering systems, Precision All-Wheel Steer dials in more active agility at low-to-mid speeds and better stability at high speeds.

The Precision All-Wheel Steer system continuously reads vehicle sensors and driver input. It then instantly adjusts the toe angle of each rear wheel independently, like an expert skier precisely controlling both skis. That means the TLX can more gracefully follow the line the driver pursues through every curve.

P E R F O R M A N C E

A G I L E H A N D L I N G A S S I S T †

Agile Handling Assist in every TLX actively applies braking to any of the four wheels individually. This helps the TLX rotate through every corner more accurately. It helps keep you headed right where you want to go, tracing the line through the turn. Working in concert with the Precision All-Wheel Steer system, Agile Handling Assist helps enhance vehicle stability, maneuverability, and control.

B R A K I N G

While braking, each rear wheel adjusts inward, increasing stability.

C O R N E R I N G

While cornering, the rear wheels turn the opposite direction of the front wheels, making handling quick, agile and precise.

L A N E C H A N G E

During high-speed lane changes, the rear wheels turn the same way as the front wheels for enhanced smoothness and stability.

TL X offers two engine choices. Each direct-injection engine is designed with fuel efficiency in mind, with the across-the-spectrum performance boost of Variable Value Timing and Lift Electronic Control (i-VTEC®). i-VTEC increases high-rpm horsepower while keeping ample low-end torque on tap for on-demand acceleration.

The 3.5-litre i-VTEC® V6 delivers 290 horsepower* and 267 lb.-ft. of torque.* The 2.4-litre L4 offers 206 horsepower* and linear torque delivery at the low end for direct feedback whenever you need it.

Variable Cylinder Management™ (VCM®) lets the V6 TLX switch to just three cylinders whenever viable, a measure designed to improve fuel efficiency. Then, when you need more power, VCM makes the transition back to all six cylinders so seamless, you’ll never know it happened.

T R A N S M I S S I O N

The TLX transmissions can rev-match downshifts for smoother performance. And both feature steering-wheel-mounted Sequential SportShift® paddle shifters for quick, manual-style gear changes.

TLX models with the L4 engine feature the world’s first 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with a torque converter. DCT allows lightning-fast gear changes, as one clutch governs odd gear numbers, and the other, even. The result is direct, responsive action. A torque converter amplifies torque for more immediate response and smoother delivery.

On V6 models, the smooth-shifting, 9-speed, pushbutton automatic transmission marries performance and comfort, accommodating diverse driving scenarios with a wide range of gear ratios.

The Integrated Dynamic System (IDS) gives you four modes: Normal, efficiency-boosting Econ, Sport, and Sport+. Sport raises shift points, dials up throttle response, stiffens the steering feel, and makes the Precision All-Wheel Steer™† and SH-AWD®† systems more aggressive, while Active Sound Control (ASC) tunes up the natural engine note. For those times when only the utmost in performance will do, Sport+ goes further, blipping the throttle and rev-matching downshifts to punctuate gear changes and help preserve the balance of the car.

High performance is best tested at the extremes, and the TLX is designed to endure them all. From severe heat to subzero temperatures, intense body rigidity testing to aerodynamic analysis, our engineers ensure that the driver’s experience is never left to chance.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUNISHMENT

M A S S A N D F L OW

Testing 40% scale models in the wind tunnel, and materials and components in the lab, we have meticulously shaped and trimmed the TLX to reduce drag, lift, turbulence and rolling resistance.Weight has been reduced wherever possible. Lighter, tougher metals like aluminum, magnesium, and ultra-high-strength steel have been used, improving rigidity and power-to-weight ratio, and helping the TLX fulfill its super-handling promise.

Using a network of connected structural elements, the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure distributes frontal crash energy more evenly throughout the vehicle. This not only helps reduce the forces transferred to the passenger compartment, it also helps disperse the forces transferred to the other vehicle in an impact. In addition to ACE, the front door areas are composed as a single piece of hot-stamped, ultra-high-strength steel. It’s just one of many ways the TLX body is designed to help absorb and redirect energy to protect its occupants.
