Acura is on the struggling side of sales in some segments, aggravated by old designs and uncompetitive products. But on the upside, both the MDX and TLX are up for replacement.
Forum member rdx.god posted the following pictures on Acurazine.com, claiming that the files were sourced from the head unit of the RDX. “I do not think Acura meant for any of us to see this quite yet,” he said, and chances are the TLX will arrive at dealerships for the 2021 model year.
Starting with the TLX, the first generation entered production in July 2014. Facelifted in April 2017, the mid-size sedan leaves much to be desired in lots of areas. For the second generation of the breed, Acura did confirm the return of the Type S, a V6 engine option with i-VTEC, all-wheel steering, and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. In regard to transmissions options, a 10-speed automatic is expected to come as standard even on the four-cylinder.
The MDX, meanwhile, shares the platform and drivetrain with the Honda Pilot. The most recent generation – the third – came out in 2013 for the 2014 model year and it’s also available as a hybrid. The MDX comes with either six or seven seats, one down on the more affordable Pilot if you were wondering.
Just like the TLX, the mid-size crossover bears a striking resemblance to the PMC Edition from the 2019 New York Auto Show. Both models will adopt the True Touchpad interface of the RDX, and if you look even closer at the pictures, you’ll further notice the design language of the Precision Concept.
It’s widely believed Acura will launch the MDX before the TLX, probably for 2020 if we’re lucky and everything goes according to plan. The 3.5-liter engine is supposed to soldier on with minimal upgrades, and the hybrid option is likely to follow suit to cater to the needs of eco-minded customers.
Pricing for the TLX for 2019 starts at $33,000 before destination, packing 206 horsepower and front-wheel drive as standard. The MDX is a bit pricier at $44,300, a lot more than the $31,450 that Honda asks for the Pilot.
