When Acura introduced the TLX sports sedan earlier this year, it was something of a two-fer a car that replaced the small, sporty TSX and the larger, luxe-oriented TL. To that end, Acura vowed that the TLX would be even more engaging to drive than the former and nearly as spacious and comfortable as the latter. Did it deliver? Mostly.

The tester in our garage is a 2015 Acura TLX 2.4 Tech, which means it contains the base 2.4-liter I-4 engine similar to that found in the discontinued TSX but with direct-injection, which boosts output slightly to 206 hp and 182 lb-ft of torque (an additional 5 hp and 10 lb-ft over the TSX).
An eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, complete with torque converter for smoother around-town driving and torque-multiplication benefits off the line, is the only available transmission. All-wheel steering is standard and is said to combat the front-wheel-drive sedan’s inherent understeer in low-speed cornering, while contributing to stability at higher speeds.
The Acura TLX is a 2015 Motor Trend Car of the Year contender - find out in November whether it has what it takes to win.
