What Technology Comes Standard in the 2025 Acura TLX?

Big thanks to Will from W.T.F. Car Reviews for diving into the tech-packed 2025 Acura TLX—right here at Maus Acura of North Tampa. That’s right—the review you’ve seen all over YouTube? It happened on our lot. And let’s just say… he was very impressed. While the TLX Technology trim might sound like a mid-tier model, it brings full-blown luxury energy. Inside and out. Here’s what you need to know from Will’s review:

A Display Setup That Looks Straight Out of the Future

First thing you’ll notice? That 12.3-inch center screen. It’s sharp and wide. And, no, it’s not a touchscreen—on purpose. You’ll control everything using Acura’s precision touchpad interface, designed to keep your eyes on the road, not the menu screen. It’s weirdly intuitive once you try it.

Right behind the wheel, another 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster keeps everything in view—from navigation to safety alerts to your G-force meter (because why not?). TLX doesn’t skimp on driver visibility.

Sound That Deserves Its Own Spotify Playlist

Get this: The ELS Studio® Premium Audio System, tuned by Grammy-winning producer Elliot Scheiner comes standard in the TLX Technology. Will says it best—this system slaps. Experience crisp highs and deep bass with no distortion, even with the volume maxed out. Whether you’re vibing through North Tampa traffic or escaping to the countryside, this system transforms your playlist.

Built-in Navigation and Smartphone Integration

Don’t feel like using your phone? The built-in navigation system is clean, easy to read, and works like a charm. But yes, you’ve also got wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ if you prefer your own setup. The wireless charging pad up front keeps everything juiced up.

Advanced Safety and Driver Assistance (Standard—Not Optional)

Unlike some rivals, you don’t have to level up to get serious safety tech. TLX Tech gives you Acura’s full AcuraWatch™ suite, including:

• Collision Mitigation Braking System™
• Lane Keeping Assist System
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Blind Spot Information System

Will even pointed out how impressively dialed-in the adaptive cruise and steering assist feel in real-world traffic. That’s confidence on demand.

Luxe Cabin Comfort Without the Luxury Price

Acura nails that sweet spot between performance and comfort—and TLX proves it’s not just hype.

• Heated leather seats with perforated contrast stitching
• Memory settings for two drivers
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Ambient lighting and soft-touch everything
• Power-adjustable everything (including 4-way lumbar for long-haul comfort)

Small Touches That Matter

Even the trunk’s got tech. It’s huge, by the way—Will says you’ll easily fit a 60″ flat screen back there. Here’s a taste of some of the special touches you’ll find in this trim:

• Frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror
• Smart key access for all four doors
• LED interior lighting
• USB-A and USB-C ports front and rear
• Hidden rear trunk release and hydraulic trunk struts (yes, really)
