Compare Engine Specs

• Standard Engines: The Acura TLX is equipped with a 2.4L I-4 engine that generates 206 hp, which provides more power than the Honda Accord. The Accord is outfitted with a less remarkable 1.5L Intercooled turbo I-4 engine capable of producing just 192 hp.

• Standard Performance Features: The Acura TLX comes standard with Precision All-Wheel Steer™ technology as well as Vehicle Stability Assist™ with Traction Control and Motion Adaptive Steering. These are features not found on the Honda Accord.

Compare Warranty and Acura Reliability

One of the most important things to consider when choosing a new vehicle is warranty coverage. This is another reason why so many Manchester drivers choose the TLX. It comes with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, as well as a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty. There is less warranty coverage with the Honda Accord, which gives drivers a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
