LOS ANGELES — More than a decade after Acura's last use of the Type S performance treatment on one of its vehicles, the return of the top-level trim on the new-generation TLX midsize sedan is set.
The 2021 TLX Type S will arrive in Canadian showrooms in June, the automaker said, with a starting sticker price of “around $60,000.” Acura has said the latest MDX crossover will get the Type S treatment later this year.
On the TLX, the performance variant is equipped with a newly developed 3-litre turbocharged V-6 engine that makes 355 hp, compared with lesser versions of the sedan that come with a four-cylinder turbocharged engine and 272 hp.
