As the Acura TL and TSX are both dropped into the crusher of history, their replacement, the production-ready 2015 TLX, took the stage today at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
Having made its world debut at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, the TLX in New York will retain the former's beak nose and bejeweled headlamps on its way to the showroom later this year.
As for what future TLX drivers will receive, two engines will put the power to either the front or all four wheels: 2.4-liter four-pot with 206 horsepower and 182 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and 3.5-liter V6 producing 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque through a nine-speed automatic. The four-cylinder FWD model will be augmented by Acura's PAWS all-wheel steering system, while the V6 receives the SH-AWD handling system when AWD is selected on the options list. Combined fuel economy is expected to be 28 mpg for the 2.4-liter 4, 25 mpg for both FWD and AWD V6 models.
Inside, drivers will enjoy soft-touch plastics, wood and alloy accenting, leather, Acura's AcuraLink infotainment system, GPS-linked climate control, and premium stereo sound.
And the price? Acura will make that announcement closer to the launch of the TLX.
