2018 Acura TLX and Its Red Interior

The new 2018 TLX is bringing a new option for the interior and it is red. Such an interior is a given on a hybrid supercar or more, but this is a rarity on a luxury sedan. The option is called the “Full Red’ interior and it was struggling to get it approved by the big guns in the brand, but they pulled it off.

Dan Powderly, the TLX engineering development leader said that getting this color approved was a big struggle and even the idea for it came at the end of the development. The Full red trim option is one of the two options on the A-Spec model.

The interior will be black and red, with red trims all over the dashboard and the doors, while the seats are a rich red that stands out and looks really amazing.

The Difference between NSX and TLX A-Spec

The 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec is very different than the NSX. The NSX is a two door hybrid supercar while the TLX is a sedan; the only thing common between these two vehicles is that they both offer the red and black interior option and the Acura badge at the front.

The Full Red trim level is only available with the TLX A-Spec all-wheel and front-wheel models. The all-wheel and front-wheel options are also available with a completed black interior as well that features Alcantara inserts all over the interior for an edgier and sportier look.

The 2018 TLX Sedan A-Spec Model

The 2018 TLX sedan A-Spec model is going to be serving as an image builder for all the TLX line. It is expected that almost 60% of the buyers will be going to prefer the V6 engine variant with 290 horsepower over the V4 engine variant with 206 horsepower.

Acura has also projected that 15% of their buyers going to choose the A-Spec model over the base version. This is because the 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec has a mixture of better performance and better aesthetic appeal to improve the handling, looks and the steering feel of the sedan.

The A-Spec model is available with a V6 engine with front-wheel drive option and all-wheel drive option. Of course, when you add technology and advanced packages, the price of the 2018 Acura TLX A-Spec model will become higher and more expensive, but in the end, it will be worth it.

Available Outside of USA

One amazing thing about this sedan is that the new 2018 TLX sedan will be available out of the USA as well. The base version and the A-Spec model will be widely available in many countries outside of the USA, including Canada, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia.

All Eyes on TLX

Although the 2018 Acura TLX is not one of the best-selling Acura vehicles, it is still one of the best models they have. When the people come to their website to ogle the RDX, MDX and NSX models, the next vehicle they look at is the TLX.

The Vice President and General Manager of Acura, Jon Ikeda says that the TLX is actually the car that their customers consider the most after the NSX. With the new upgrades and refreshed design, the 2018 Acura TLX is likely to become their next best-selling model.

This is because the new 2018 TLX sedan has a better style, engaging aesthetics, and more standard features. Since the new ads for the TLX clearly mention that the TLX comes from the same automaker as NSX, which is supposed to increase the sales of the new sedan as well.

A-Spec Model Does Make More Power

The A-Spec model will be powered by a standard 3.5-litre V6 engine that will produce 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. This is the same power train for the regular V6 models by the brand. Of course, this is an upgrade from the V4 engine, but still, the A-Spec will not be generating more power.

However, the brand refrained from developing the engine more because that would require time and Acura did not want to do that. They believe that the vehicle is a standout on its own and adding more cost to the vehicle’s trim level would not have been a good move for the brand.

A Spider-Man Edition?

If you choose to purchase the new 2018 Acura TLX with the brilliant and bright Still Night Blue Pearl color, you might get to own the Spider-Man Edition. This exterior color is only available with the A-Spec model with the Full Red interior or the standard all black interior.

During the development of the 2018 TXL sedan, the brand was calling it the Spider-Man car, however, nothing has been made official yet so there is no guarantee that this will be called Spider-Man edition or not. Also, no matter what exterior color you choose for the TLX A-Spec model, the trunk will be topped with a gloss-black spoiler above the trunk so that the lower rear fascia will look more aggressive and become more aerodynamic.

The 2018 Acura TLX sedan is a fantastic new sedan that brings a faster driver, better and more refined version of the much-liked TLX model that we have seen in the past years. This luxury sedan always had the potential to be great, but this year, Acura is giving it everything to really shine and become of their best-selling sedans.

Acura has high hopes for the 2018 Acura TLX, especially with the new A-Spec model with the Full Red interior package and the Still Night Blue Pearl exterior package. With its dashing good looks and great performance, the 2018 TLX sedan has the potential to become the luxury sedan of choice for many car enthusiasts.
