Ferman Acura Discusses the Power Behind the 2015 Acura TLX Sport Sedan

    TAMPA, FL, January 07, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the all-new 2015 Acura TLX model, consumers in the market for a midsize sedan will benefit from more than just standard cutting-edge multimedia technology and remarkable fuel economy ratings. The automaker's new sport sedan comes with several engine choices, a new platform and the type of driving pleasure that is bound to attract a lot of attention. (1)

Available at Tampa car dealerships, buyers that opt for the new 2015 TLX will enjoy a world of choice. For example, Acura's sport sedan can be equipped with either a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V-6 engine - both with direct-injection. (2) The first engine, generating 206 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque, feels lighter and more nimble (3) and offers more power than the same-sized engine found in the TSX sedan. (2)

A standard eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the world's first transmission of this type to be paired with a torque converter, is also mated to the 2.4-liter engine. Drivers can therefore expect close-spaced ratios and quick shifting from the smooth and sporty-feeling DCT. (2)

As for the 3.5-liter engine, buyers may also find the vehicle interior to be quieter due to active noise cancellation, and drivers can appreciate abundant power with a maximum output of 290 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. (3) In fact, consumers will get more out of the new V-6 than the one found in the TL sedan - more specifically, an additional 10 hp and 13 lb-ft of torque. The engine is also coupled to a nine-speed automatic transmission that, similar to the DCT, features Sequential SportShift. (2)

Those that choose the front-wheel drive models, can also enjoy standard Acura Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS). When selecting the V-6 engine, (2) buyers can take advantage of the automaker's next-generation Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system (SH-AWD) for enhanced traction and handling. (3)
