How much does the 2023 Acura TLX cost?

There are 26 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Acura TLX earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The expert review also gives it an 8.00/10 for safety.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel, Performance, and Safety.

It stands out for its stylish design and strong driving character, but the cabin packaging is less convincing. The review points to poor ergonomic design, a cramped back seat, and limited cargo space as the main trade-offs.

With 42.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitively priced example.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The expert review describes the TLX as a car with genuine performance capability and a compelling blend of style, performance, equipment, and value. It also notes that the powertrain and chassis deliver strong road manners, while the Type S adds hardware that supports more serious driving.

The review also highlights a fuel-saving stop/start system that restarts smoothly, which is a small but useful ownership perk.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about mechanical drama and more about living with the car’s packaging and technology quirks over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Acura TLX?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The TLX’s styling is a major draw, but the review also flags rear-seat headroom and legroom, plus cargo space, as compromises. Base-trim buyers should pay close attention to how much equipment they’re giving up versus the more richly equipped versions.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic and standard SH-AWD in Canada. The Type S adds a turbo 3.0-litre V6 with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft, plus performance-focused hardware.
• Safety package: All TLX models include forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with low-speed following, Traffic Jam Assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors. The Type S adds rain-sensing wipers, a wiper de-icer system, and a surround-view camera, while the Premium Elite gets the head-up display.
• Infotainment: The TLX uses a 10.2-inch display with the True Touchpad Interface rather than a touchscreen. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, a wireless charging pad, on-board navigation, and a 17-speaker ELS Studio 3D audio system are standard, but wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not supported.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-litre engine is rated at 11.3 L/100 km in city driving, 8.1 on the highway, and 9.8 combined. The Type S is rated at 12.3 L/100 km city, 9.4 highway, and 11.0 combined, and the test drive returned 11.8 L/100 km.

Which 2023 Acura TLX trim should I buy?

The 2023 Acura TLX is offered in 2 trim levels: A-Spec and Type S.

Here's the short version:

• A-Spec: This is the better-value choice if you want the TLX’s style, standard SH-AWD, and core luxury features without stepping up to the more expensive performance model. It gives you the main TLX experience with the least compromise on price.
• Type S: Choose this if you want the most powerful TLX, the V6, and the extra performance hardware that makes the car more engaging to drive. It’s the enthusiast pick, but it comes with higher running costs and a firmer focus.

The Type S adds rain-sensing wipers, a wiper de-icer system, and a surround-view camera, while the Premium Elite trim gets the head-up display.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Acura TLX?

It looks like a buyer’s market for this model year.

• Deal availability: 42.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 26 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.11% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $39,733 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Acura TLX's resale value?

The current average of $40,461 CAD sits slightly below last year's $46,564 CAD.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper what you recover later as a seller. If you buy at the right price, you reduce the risk of taking a bigger depreciation hit than necessary. The current trend also means future resale will depend heavily on how well the car is equipped and how clean its history is.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Acura TLX safe?

The 2023 Acura TLX earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA, including a four-star rating for the front passenger in a frontal-impact collision and five-star rollover resistance.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

All TLX models come standard with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centring assist, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with low-speed following capability, Traffic Jam Assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and front and rear parking sensors.

The review notes a couple of false lane-departure and lane-keeping alerts on rough pavement, and the lane-keeping systems can struggle when the sun is low in front of the car.

Should I buy a 2023 Acura TLX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 42.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.11% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 combines strong performance with standard SH-AWD and a full suite of driver aids.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $34,879 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $40,461 CAD average.
• It keeps the TLX’s new design direction and performance focus.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $47,265 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $40,461 CAD average.
• It adds a handsome new grille and bigger screens.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the sweet spot if you want the current TLX formula at a softer price than the 2024. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2022 is the value play; if you want the newest look and updated screens, the 2024 is the step-up.
