A final-year sport sedan with polish and punch
Drive a TLX
The TLX is a premium sport sedan with a turbocharged engine, a 10-speed automatic, and available SH-AWD on the A-Spec and Type S trims. With 2025 as its final model year, an Acura car rental on Turo is a smart way to get behind the wheel of one.
On Turo, you book your TLX from a local vehicle owner and choose a pickup or delivery option that fits your plans. Check the listing's year and trim before you book, since each trim drives a little differently.

Turbocharged power with SH-AWD grip
Every TLX pairs a turbocharged engine with a 10-speed automatic, and SH-AWD on the A-Spec and Type S sends power where grip is best. The 2.0L turbo four-cylinder makes 272 hp and 280 lb-ft, good for a tested 0-60 mph run in 5.9 sec. The Type S steps up to a 3.0L turbo V-6 with 355 hp, 354 lb-ft, rev-matching downshifts, Brembo front brakes, and a tested 4.6-sec sprint.
Leather sport seats with heat and ventilation
The TLX backs up its sporty attitude with sport seats and premium materials on every trim. The Technology trim wraps you in Milano leather, while the A-Spec and Type S pair leather with Ultrasuede. Heated front seats come standard across the lineup, and the A-Spec and Type S add ventilation for hot afternoons.
Type S drivers also get 16-way power seats, so you can dial in your ideal driving position. With five seats and 93.4 cu ft of passenger volume, there's room to bring colleagues, friends, or family along. Whether you're heading to a client dinner or a long weekend away, the cabin feels ready for the occasion.
AcuraWatch driver-assist on every trim
Every TLX comes with AcuraWatch, a standard suite of driver-assist tech for highway miles and city traffic. It includes Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Traffic Sign Recognition. Lane Keeping Assist and Road Departure Mitigation help keep you centered on long stretches.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow keeps pace with the car ahead, even when traffic slows to a crawl. The Type S adds a surround-view camera, which makes tight parking garages and narrow driveways far less stressful (your bumpers will thank you). These systems support your attention, so keep your eyes on the road.
Stand out with a TLX
Yes, the TLX is a luxury car: it's a premium sport sedan in midsize form, with five seats and a 13.5 cu ft trunk. That mix makes it a sharp pick for business trips, anniversaries, birthday dinners, or a weekend drive with no agenda beyond the next curve. If you're weighing a used TLX, a multi-day trip on Turo, the car rental marketplace, works as an extended test drive.
Top TLX features
ELS Studio premium audio
Three features shape everyday life in a TLX: the sound system, the screens, and the fuel economy.
Every TLX comes with ELS Studio premium audio, so your playlist sounds as polished as the cabin looks. The Technology trim uses 13 speakers, while the A-Spec and Type S step up to ELS Studio 3D with 17 speakers.
Queue up a road trip mix, a podcast for the morning commute, or a favorite album for the drive home. The extra speakers on the A-Spec and Type S add depth to every track. If the 17-speaker setup sits high on your wish list, check the listing's trim before you book.
Connected tech up front
The TLX puts two 12.3-in screens in front of you: a center display with the True Touchpad Interface and a digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto bring your maps, music, and messages to the display without a cable.
Alexa Built-In handles voice requests, so you can keep your hands on the wheel. A wireless charging pad keeps your phone topped up between stops, which matters when it's also your navigator. On the Type S, a 10.5-in head-up display puts key driving info in your line of sight.
Practical everyday efficiency
The TLX's EPA ratings give you a clear picture of your fuel budget before you pick it up. The Technology trim earns 22 city, 31 highway, and 25 combined mpg. The A-Spec comes in at 21/29/24 mpg, and the Type S at 19/25/21 mpg.
Highway-heavy trips play to the TLX's strengths, and the Technology trim's 31 mpg highway rating leads the lineup. The 13.5 cu ft trunk gives you space for luggage, groceries, or a work bag. Pick the trim that fits your trip, whether you want the most miles per gallon or the most power.

Top tips and things to know before renting a TLX
Get to know your TLX
A few minutes of prep helps you get the most from a TLX: confirm the trim, learn the controls, and know how pricing works.
The trim you book shapes how your TLX drives, so check the listing before you reserve. The Technology trim is front-wheel drive, while the A-Spec and Type S come with SH-AWD for extra grip.
The Type S adds the 355-hp V-6, Sport+ mode, and the head-up display. If you're browsing by city, start with Acura rentals in Los Angeles, Acura rentals in Miami, or Acura rentals in Chicago to see what's nearby.
TLX driving tips
These five habits help you settle into a TLX fast:
Learn the True Touchpad Interface before you pull away.
Try the drive modes, including Sport+ on the Type S.
Use the paddle shifters to pick your own gears on winding roads.
Set Adaptive Cruise Control for long highway stretches.
Pack with the 13.5 cu ft trunk in mind.
How much does it cost to rent a TLX?
The price to rent a TLX depends on the model year, trim, trip length, Extras, and delivery options you choose. Book a non-refundable trip four or more days ahead, and you'll save 10%. Duration discounts can also kick in at three days, one week, and one month.
For trips of 30 days or more, Turo adds no trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and in New York. If your plans run a month or longer, browse long-term car rental options to compare monthly rates.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
