The 2024 Acura TLX Type S Is An Undervalued Performance Luxury Sport Sedan

Just a few years since #Acura gave the latest TLX a full redesign, it gets its first refresh for 2024. The changes made this year are subtle, but welcomed. The #AcuraTLX and the higher performance #TLXTypeS represents a nice middle ground between a compact and midsize sport luxury sedan. The #TypeS in particular though, represents a strong value in its class, undercutting the competition in price by thousands of dollars.

Happy Tuesday everyone! We started this channel 12 years ago and today is the day we finally hit 1 Million subscribers! Thank you so much for all your support throughout all these years. This channel began with reviewing mostly Japanese import brands so it’s benefitting that this milestone is celebrated with the posting of this 2024 Acura TLX Type S review. Hope you all have an amazing day and we can’t wait to show you all that’s coming in the new year! ❤

Awesome that today is your anniversary. Congrats on the Million subscribers club. This TLX - I like it - a great looking car, and best in it's class to my eyes. Thanks for the in depth insights into what is too often an overlooked marque as people are pulled into overspending on pricey German marques with questionable value after a 4 year lease term. I know a man who travels for his job over 100K a year, and has had a fleet of full size Acuras for 2 years at a time since they came out. And he has never had a service issue, not ever. Well made, reliable, safe and great handling cars will always be in demand. Thanks, Acura, for keeping buttons in the cabin.

[@jeffreybell5043]

I have a 2023 TLX Type S, loving it..i actually like the touch pad more...was tired of the finger prints from touch screen...always getting compliments on it...Acura reliability will be so much better than other luxury brands and can't forget 2 years of free complimentary maintenance.

[@kenzobankz4490]

Finally someone not complaining about the damn screen ! I don’t even own this car and the touch pad doesn’t seem that bad. Looks like something once you get used to using etc it’s nice. And like you said finger prints can get annoying on the screen

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Once you get past the 1 to 2 week learning curve, the touch pad is actually less distracting to use than a touch screen. Less reaching and no fingerprints. Owners know this, reviewers don't.

[@supermix6135]

@@TheBreakfastLover totally agree! The touchpad is way easier to use than stretching to the screen. For me, no distractions while driving. How to write a fair review after having a vehicle for a couple of hours only? What about steering? Unique design with a taste? Everyone is tired seeing RT, BMW, Audi. My black Type S looks like a space ship in a crowd of other cars. Gets looks all the time. SH-AWD allows to pass most of the RWD "fast" cars on the wet pavement.

Because, except for a house, buying a car, is generally, the most expensive purchase most people will make in their lifetime. You certainly helped me decide which car to buy. On 2018, I was ready to replace my 2000 Nissan Sentra. Was looking at both the Camry XSE and the Honda Accord 2.0T. Both cars are outstanding. I test drove both cars. But it was after watching your review of the 2018 Honda Accord, that made me decide, to buy the Honda. One of the best buys that I ever made.

I'm actually surprised you got that high mpg on the Type S. People on Fuelly are reporting 17-18mpg. Some complain about the weight but I think it helps the car feel a lot more planted if you want more of a sporty cruiser type feel. Also eliminates a lot of road noise.

[@videogazer801]

4,300 is absolutely not beneficial for a sports sedan. Plenty of cars at 3,600 - 4,000 are better performing and plenty stable on the road. Optimal compared to the Acura

Seems like the best overall performance Sedan, considering the looks. I suspect Acura held back on the turbo for longevity. If they put more Boost in that complex machine, there's no doubt the TLX would be at an advantage with SH-AWD and it's suspension.

[@nqobilemahlaba2230]

You know the Japanese put reliability 1st before anything else. Hence their interiors still have a host of buttons unlike putting everything in the infotainment.

That off-idle 0-60 without building revs is very impressive for a turbo car.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

Agreed, 0-60 from idle is the better real world acceleration metric. People get too hung up on magazine, brake-torqued 0-60 times.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

​@@layne4376trap speed tests are done with brake-torquing at launch, so your comment is non-sensical.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

@@layne4376 wrong, using launch control will result in a faster trap speed, as peak velocity is NOT reached by the 1/4-mile.

[@TheBreakfastLover]

@@layne4376 you clearly didn't read my reply. In short, using launch control gives a jump on acceleration off the line, thus faster trap speed by the end of the 1/4-mile. The only time you'd be correct is if top speed is reached before the end of the 1/4- mile.

[@sbk4me]

Thanks SB! Always a pleasure to see another TLX Type S review. This is still an underrated Gem, but yes it is quite weighted. So far, no one has ever explained why Honda had to have so much weight versus the competitors. I know Honda's typical answers are safety reliability and endurance, but Can we interview Honda/Acura to have them explain why they couldn't do that, the same way the others do in this segment. This would propel this vehicle to the top of the class if they just worked on that in addition to letting the manual transmission leave it to the driver to shift at least while in the Type S setting? I look forward to an honest answer and someday a response to this everlasting question. Thanks again....

[@alexandersahlman4212]

Great stuff. I love my 2018 TLX A-Spec V6, except my engine is part of Honda's recall. Is this new engine now part of the "Stop Sell" recall?

Such a great looking vehicle & grateful Acura brought back the Type-S; for the money I believe it’s a great proposition, but also wished it had ~45 more horsepower as the more aggressive trim of the TLX considering “regular spec’d models” such as the G70 (365) and IS500 (472) exist in the lower space.

[@ZACH_95_]

Who cares. It’s plenty fast.

[@gamelauncher9821]

They had to keep cost low some how because if they added more power which seem to be the most common complaint it would cost like $65k+. overall it’s a tank solid car except the infotainment system it needs a touch screen

[@ericferguson4114]

I wouldn’t say that much. I almost ordered a 2024 TLX type S. High 70’s CAD and horrible 8-9% interest rates on Acuras. You can get a really nicely optioned M340i for that price and have twice the car. They needed to give this another 100hp to make it comparable to a M340i, S4, G70 etc. high 13’s in the 1/4 mile is brutal for that price tag.

[@hellkitty1014]

CHEERS🍻 to 1M Sofyan and team!!!!! As for the car, I love the careful massaging that Acura did with the exterior. The grille is cleaner and the standard wheel is definitely an upgrade. My main gripes remain the infotainment(I would've even kept the old gauge cluster to budget for a new dash to bring the screen closer), tight rear seat, smallish trunk, and for the price, a heated steering wheel should be standard. Oh and about that weight: My 2021 Charger Hellcat Redeye weighs

[@RLTtizME]

Who?

[@DalHarpJr]

I just bought a 2023 TLX Type-S in October 2023. Had I known about the the upcoming improvements, I would've definitely waited for the 2024's. For the money, Acura is lagging behind a lot of vehicles with this TLX Type-S. For one, this car should have at least 400 HP and twin turbos, but I'll purchase a tune to fix that. At almost $60K a heated steering wheel is a dealer installed accessory. I own a 2020 Ford Explorer ST and this SUV came loaded with every available option for its trim level, at about the same price. And it's faster than the TLX and MDX Type-S. With that said, a digital dashboard took like 3 years to find its way in the Type-S since it was refreshed in 2021. It also has less interior room than its Honda Accord cousin.. I love the way this vehicle drives and looks, but the performance needs a much needed boost. If I didn't lease mine, I'd for sure get a 2024 model.

[@drivescene6747]

The 2024 is a little quicker due to a trans update. 4.6 to 60 and 13.3 in the 1/4.

[@ZACH_95_]

This would be perfect for me. Beautiful interior, I actually have always loved the look of the infotainment area of the acuras. You have reliability unlike the German counterparts and it’s got plenty power for me. Perfect highway cruiser. CONGRATS ON 1MILL l!! You deserve it. 👍🏻

[@quells2119]

[@JordanSparks-xw5cy]

🎉 CONGRATULATIONS and Acura needs you at headquarters because Who is making these decisions on Tech and features. Add a panoramic roof, give the backseat at least 3 more inches of space, pull that screen forward and make it a touchscreen, make it a mild hybrid at least, and give it power tilt and telescoping steering wheel.

[@ricardocampos6157]

I dont think this one competes with the top tier Germans at all. More so with Stinger , G70, Infiniti q50 red. Nice looks though and if compared properly, pricing is just okay. Also, when comparing S4 Quattro , M340i Xdrive and c43 4 matic for performance and feel SH-AWD is a 2nd best , not to mention fuel economy and potential reliability issues with fairly new 10 speed and turbo 6. Germans for better or worse have mastered that art with compromises and whether pricing is justified or not they are better in every aspect so it is assumed quality costs more .Hence these cars should not be put in the same category but perhaps I missed something. Kia/hyundai and Mazda are doing great filling the gaps between these tiers. I think that is a class of its own where Acura belongs for now. Great content, thank you !

[@Stressless2023]

I think pricing is pretty good personally, under 60 grand for the equipment it offers and sub-5 second 0-60 times is pretty good - Only the forgotten Cadillac CT5-V presents itself as a potentially better value in this segment since it has similar performance and features for a little less money.

[@Chineywhale]

[@terrancesneed3757]

Great review. I wish Acura turned up the wick to ten for the Type S. I understand why they did so, but in the process, left a vehicle thats about 8/10ths there. Another 25-30hp, about a 300lb weight reduction, and a little increase in turbo induction, this would be a killer vehicle. But then again those changes could warrant another $5000 or so. I just wonder sometimes why Acura didn't use the 3.5 Engine for the type S? I'm no engineer, but I think it would have a better exhaust note, could withstand more boost, and have better integrity.

The 3.5 as in a turbocharged version of the j35? They did the right thing by not using that motor to be honest. The j35 in the first gen TLX was a ticking time bomb that blew rods left right and center.
