The 3.5 L direct-injection SOHC i-VTEC aluminum V6 engine delivers up to 290 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. A push button starts the engine up, and its power flows through a 9-speed automatic transmission with Squential SportShift and paddle shifters.

As the SH-AWD in its name implies, it also has Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. Integrated Dynamic System adjusts many aspects of the driving performance to fit the mood of the moment, while Variable Cylinder Management and Idle Stop improve gas economy.

All these features add up to raise the bar on performance and comfort, providing a great driving experience and remarkable gas saving. This tech-laden powertrain delivers a fuel economy of 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, netting a 25 mpg combined average.

The 2016 TLX has received a perfect score of 5-Stars in NHTSA's crash testing system.
