Acura is clearing up just a few nagging questions we had concerning the 2021 TLX Kind S at this time. The corporate’s newest announcement spells out each the beginning worth and a exact on-sale date.
You’ll be capable of drive a 2021 Acura TLX Kind S house in Might this 12 months, and pricing begins “within the low $50,000s.” We want Acura could possibly be slightly extra particular on precise pricing, however apparently it’s not able to expose that info but. Regardless, this worth level makes good sense when you think about that the common TLX with its 2.0-liter turbo might be optioned as much as about $50,000.
It’s possible going to return in below the BMW M340i’s worth (begins at $55,695). Then again, the Audi S4 will probably undercut the Kind S with its $50,945 base worth. Do remember the fact that each the BMW and Audi will possible want a heavy hand within the choices record to equal the Acura’s gear, simply because the non-performance fashions require.
As a reminder, the TLX Kind S is getting a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 that spits out 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque to the usual SH-AWD system. The ten-speed computerized is “sport-tuned,” and the automotive has a brand new Sport+ driving mode that isn’t on the common TLX that notches all the pieces as much as one other stage of aggressiveness. You may get NSX-inspired light-weight wheels that cover huge Brembo brakes and might be wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero summer season tires. The Tiger Eye Pearl exterior paint pictured here’s a Kind S-exclusive paint choice, too.
We’ll be trying ahead to Might this 12 months, once we’ll lastly get behind the wheel of the Kind S, which is the primary Kind S we’ve seen in America for 13 years.
