So far, our observed fuel economy is a paltry 19.9 mpg. Thankfully, the Type S has a Custom drive setting where you can set up all the individual parameters to your liking. The steering is pretty light in this relaxed Comfort setting, but has decent weight in Normal mode and plenty of heft in Sport.
The TLX's adaptive dampers work well in the Type S, with the car's Comfort mode providing more than enough compliance to smooth out uneven highway surfaces without making the sedan feel floaty or disconnected.
On several slogs through California, we haven't noticed any roughness to the ride, even with the summer tires. The Type S is also proving to be a great long-distance cruiser. The rear three-quarter view is great on both cars. That's only $4,820 more than our previous TLX 2.0T Advance. More on that in a minute.Īll told, our 2021 TLX Type S checks out for $54,645 including a $1,045 destination charge. The wheels save 21 pounds of weight overall, and more importantly, the Pirelli P-Zero tires do a lot to help the Type S' handling without hurting its cruising capabilities. The only available option (aside from premium colors) is a lightweight wheel and summer tire package that, at $800, is very reasonable. It has nearly all the same creature comforts as our 2.0T Advance tester - except a heated steering wheel, oddly. The Type S pretty much only comes one way, which is to say, fully loaded. It also looks bangin' with the Type S' sculpted front fascia, gloss black accents and 20-inch dark-finish wheels. But how on earth could we pass up the company's new Tiger Eye Pearl paint? It's incredibly fetching in the real world, changing between gold and yellow depending on the light. Acura offers a few vibrant hues for the TLX Type S, including Performance Red and Apex Blue.
