Enhanced Styling and Design
A New Face for Acura
The 2024 Acura TLX debuts with a revamped front fascia, headlined by a frameless Diamond Pentagon grille. This new design element, borrowed from the acclaimed Type S Concept, imparts a sleeker, more sophisticated look to the vehicle. Complementing this are the four Jewel Eye® LED headlight elements and "Chicane" LED daytime running lights, further accentuating its sporty and aggressive stance.
Sport and Performance: TLX A-Spec and Type S
The TLX A-Spec, known for its sporty aesthetics, receives new 19-inch Shark Grey wheels, dual round exhaust finishers, and a gloss-black rear spoiler. The high-performance TLX Type S elevates this further with unique grille mesh for enhanced airflow, 20” Y-spoke Shark Grey wheels, a front splitter, rear decklid spoiler, rear diffuser, and quad exhaust outlets.
Technology Upgrades
A Digital Revolution Inside
Inside, the 2024 TLX is a hub of advanced technology. All models now include a 12.3-inch center screen, which is 20% larger than its predecessor. The integration of wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, alongside two new USB-C charging ports, enhances the digital experience.
Driver-Centric Innovations
Acura's Precision Cockpit™ 12.3-inch Driver Information Cluster is a new addition, offering customizable displays and vital information at a glance.

Improved Comfort and Quietness
A Quieter, More Refined Ride
The 2024 TLX A-Spec takes cabin quietness seriously.
