2021 Acura TLX Type S – Redline: First Look

Follow Redline on social channels:

The Acura brand has been on quite the up and down journey over the years. In the 90's, they had strong names like Legend, Integra, and Vigor, which eventually became alpha numeric names like RL, TL, and TSX. About 6 years ago, Acura replaced both the TL and TSX with the #AcuraTLX and while on paper, it was a great car, the lack of a high performance #TypeS model from the old TL meant that Acura struggled to entice enthusiast back into showrooms. For 2021, Acura is serious about finding their identity in the world with the completely redesigned #TLXTypeS and #TLX. Now with standard turbocharged power and riding on a new #Acura exclusive platform, this new TLX is the most luxurious and performance oriented sedan the company has ever built. It goes on sale in this Fall.

Its been over 10 years since we had an Acura Type S model! The new one looks pretty promising, especially if Acura can get the price and power figures right. Do you guys feel this car is the return of Acura? We certainly don't think it looks like a fancy Accord anymore!

They finally brought the interior to life. No longer stuck in 2009 😍

Its about time Acura goes back as Honda’s Performance Luxury brand!

I've always said once Acura gets serious about their interiors and "luxury" side of Acura, they will be a big competitor, especially because of how reliable they are.

This car looks really good. I'm glad that Acura tried to stay as close as possible to the concept car. I'm looking forward to the driving impressions.

The only car review that matters to me.

That interior is a great improvement over the extremely outdated interior in the previous model.

Finally! I've been holding on to my TL Type S waiting for a worthy replacement and now I finally have one. That thing is Gorgeous!

Dang, that driver wasn't half bad. Loved the downhill drift.

With the new RDX and TLX, Acura is finally heading to the right direction.

That interior looks stunning well done Acura

[alternateAccountII]

OMG that interior is on point. Design is so much more aesthetically pleasing than current/older generation TLX. Good stuff, Acura.

I like Acura its so different, and it needs to get back popular again! I miss my 2004 Acura TL.

Thank you for posting original content. I can’t believe how many channels are just uploading Acura’s video and riddling it with ads.

I’m Praying for a ILX type s with the type R motor, SH-AWD and the option of a 10spd auto or 6spd MT

I'm glad they finally listened to all the emails I sent them about what to improve, lol!
