With the 3.5L SH-AWD model enjoying its first full month on the market, the new Acura TLX gained more than 25 percent versus last month’s strong performance, reaching sales of nearly 5,000 units in October after less than three months on the market. TLX helped push Acura brand sales up 7.9 percent for the month.

  • TLX sales reached 4,890 units in October, jumping 25.9 percent over last month for its best month since joining the Acura lineup, and came within just a few hundred units of ranking as Acura’s best-selling model.
  • With 5,324 units sold in October, Acura’s current best seller—MDX—jumped 9.5 percent month-over-month despite being limited by tight supplies.

“With TLX sales nearly topping 5,000 units in a segment full of notoriously tough competitors, the new TLX is quickly establishing itself as a top player in the mid-size luxury sedan game,” said Mike Accavitti, Acura division senior vice president and general manager. “This early success of TLX also demonstrates the strong potential of the performance direction for the Acura product lineup.”
