The mid-size luxury sedan has been a staple in the Acura lineup since the mid-1990s, when the first TL debuted. In 2015, we got the TLX, which underwent a facelift in 2018 just ahead of the second generation’s arrival in 2021.

Now, though, nearly a decade after the first TLX debuted in the US, it’s being discontinued.

Acura TLX Type S

As first reported by Car and Driver, Acura will wind down production of the TLX later this month, which means 2025 will be the final model year for the longstanding luxury sedan. We’ve reached out to Acura for an official statement, but the company sent out a press release confirming:

Acura will conclude production of the TLX performance sedan this month to better align with the evolving needs of our customers and the changing landscape of the automotive industry.

It would make sense, though. Acura has only sold 3,634 TLX models in the first half of 2025, and the company managed just over 7,000 examples in all of 2024. That figure represented a 55 percent decrease from the previous year. In its best year—2015—Acura sold just over 47,000 TLX models.

With the TLX soon gone, the compact Integra will be the only sedan left in the Acura lineup. Otherwise, Acura buyers will have to select from a swathe of SUV options ranging from the subcompact ADX to the three-row MDX.

Built alongside the Honda Accord at the automaker’s Marysville, Ohio, manufacturing plant, Acura will effectively replace the TLX—but not with another sedan. The upcoming RSX electric SUV will be built in Ohio at Honda’s new EV Hub, and it will be the first vehicle in either the Acura or Honda lineup to use the auto conglomerate’s new dedicated EV platform.

At any rate, we’ll be sad to see the TLX go.
