2017 Acura TLX Price Bumped up to $32,820

The 2017 Acura TLX is heading to dealerships with a starting price tag of $32,820 including destination.

That marks a slight increase of $185 compared to last year’s model, although little has changed. Acura announced three new colors for the 2017 Acura TLX: San Marino Red, Lunar Silver Metallic and Modern Steel Metallic.

The standard model can be upgraded with the Technology Package for $4,050 additional.

The 2017 Acura TLX 3.5L will start from $36,270, while adding SH-AWD will cost $43,440 and includes the Technology Package. An Advance Package is also available for $3,200. Models in Technology and Advance trims come equipped with a 490-watt, 10-speaker Acura/ELS Studio Premium Audio System.
