Why The 2020 Acura TLX Was Ahead Of Its Time l Maus Acura

The Acura TLX has been a popular sedan since it arrived on dealer lots for the 2015 model year, thanks to its striking good looks, engaging drive, and all-around value. If you’re in the market for a luxury car, the TLX is an excellent option—whether you choose new or used. One model in particular, the 2020 TLX, has continued to stand out from the rest. Read on to learn all about the two reasons the 2020 Acura TLX was ahead of its time, and how the 2023 TLX is building on the sedan’s standard of excellence.

Safety

The 2020 Acura TLX scored incredibly well in terms of safety, getting a rating of 9.6 out of 10 from U.S. News. In 2020, each TLX came with the AcuraWatch bundle of driver assistance features, including forward collision warning; lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist; and a rearview camera.

Today’s TLX received an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, thanks to its impressive list of safety features. Now, every TLX comes standard with adaptive cruise control to make every commute much easier, along with optional features that provide even more peace of mind, like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Safety is even built into the design of the TLX. Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ Body Structure is the pinnacle of safe design, providing rigidity and strategic crumple zones needed to keep the driver and occupants safe in a collision with vehicles of nearly any size.

Reliability

In addition to being a safe ride, the 2020 Acura TLX is well-known for its reliability. It received an exceptional J.D. Power reliability rating of 81 out of 100, falling under the “Great Reliability” category. U.S. News details that the 2020 TLX only has one NHTSA recall warning, which is a truly remarkable feat in today’s automotive market.

Adding to this peace of mind is the fact that Acura included a generous warranty with every 2020 TLX. Drivers enjoy a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. That means that it’s entirely possible to find a 2020 TLX that remains under both the basic and the powertrain warranty.

Today’s 2023 Acura TLX carries the same generous warranty program. Acura’s sweetened the deal even more, though, offering a new maintenance package that includes complimentary oil and filter changes; multi-point inspections; tire rotations; and other helpful services for the first two years or 24,000 miles. This maintenance package is even transferable to subsequent owners while it remains active.

The 2023 Acura TLX Builds on the 2020 Model’s Impressive Record

The 2020 Acura TLX was ahead of its time, not unlike today’s iteration—the 2023 Acura TLX. It builds on the 2020 model’s impressive record of safety and reliability and is set to be a luxury car that enjoys impressive staying power over a lifetime of ownership.
