How we verify Acura TLX performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Acura TLX trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Acura TLX performance FAQs

6 questions

The quickest Acura TLX on record is the 2024 Acura TLX SH-AWD Type S (Perf. Wheel & Tire), which runs 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 13.30 seconds at 105.0 mph.

The slowest recorded Acura TLX is the 2015 Acura TLX 2.4L Technology Package, which takes 8.7 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 16.70 seconds in the quarter.

Averaged across all 18 verified runs, an Acura TLX reaches 60 mph in 5.97 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.47 seconds at roughly 98.1 mph.

We have verified test data for 4 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.

Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what an Acura TLX can do, not a single marketing claim.
