2021 Acura TLX vs. 2021 BMW-3 Series Overview
If you value engaging performance and interior comfort above all else, you'll have a hard time finding a more tempting option than the 2021 Acura TLX sedan. This stunning, performance-first new model hits the market with a welcoming interior and plenty of amenities, and Acura of Oakville has taken the opportunity to compare it to another upscale sedan in the 2021 BMW 3-Series. If you're based in Oakville, Ontario or any of the neighbouring areas of Mississauga, Milton, or Burlington, find out how the new Acura TLX stacks up against the latest 3-Series below before visiting us for a test drive.
Comfort & Convenience
The 2021 Acura TLX enters its new model year with a much-improved interior style over its outgoing model, boasting more upscale materials to go with its spacious layout. Open-pore wood trim and genuine aluminum are among several available trims in the welcoming TLX sedan's cabin, with attractive and supportive seating accommodating up to five passengers. Analog gauges and a rotary drive-mode selector in the dash will both win the hearts of driving enthusiasts, as will a highly adjustable driver's seat and first-rate frontal visibility.
Those looking for a more personalized experience and an added dash of refinement can treat their Acura TLX to popular features like genuine leather upholstery, ambient lighting, and a sprawling 10.5-inch head-up display. As for its BMW rival, the new 3-Series boasts attractive materials and comforts of its own, but you can enjoy a similarly upscale experience at the wheel of the TLX at a much more accommodating price tag.
Performance
The new Acura TLX is just as fun to drive as it is easy on the eyes. Indeed, this new performance sedan boasts formidable hardware to go with its driver-centric cabin, beginning with a turbocharged motor packing a solid 272 horsepower. A smooth 10-speed automatic transmission pairs with this robust engine for smooth shifts, with four available drive modes providing drivers with a most personalized ride.
Between its fine-tuned chassis, engaging steering, excellent body control, and responsive acceleration, the 2021 Acura TLX is a blast to drive, with its available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system offering optimal traction and stability under various conditions. The 2021 BMW 3-Series, by comparison, comes with its own base turbocharged engine, but it packs less pep than the TLX's, while its available 3.0-litre turbocharged motor comes at an even steeper price. Furthermore, the latest 3-Series handles well enough, but it remains marred by lackluster steering and lacks the fan-favourite manual transmission of old.
Safety
The 2021 Acura TLX further separates itself from the BMW 3-Series in the safety department. While the 3-Series' standard safety features are limited to automatic emergency braking and forward-collision warning, the latest TLX offers a variety of base functions that allow you to enjoy its riveting performance with the clearest of heads. Like the 3-Series, this Acura sedan offers a Collision Mitigation Braking System and a Forward Collision Warning system as standard, as well as a Lane Departure Warning function and Lane Keeping Assist System that keep you out of harm's way during the rush-hour bustle. Traffic Jam Assist rounds out the 2021 Acura TLX's standard safety features, with a Blind Spot Information system and Rear Cross-Traffic Monitor available in five of its six trims. In short, not only does this new Acura sedan give drivers a thrill, it also offers all the safety technology you'll need to hit the road in total confidence.
