Engine Horsepower/Acceleration
The 2022 Acura TLX Type S comes with a 355-horsepower V6 engine, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a high-performance chassis that make it a blast to drive. Columbus drivers who want to cut through rush-hour traffic will like that it can go from 0 to 60 in around four and a half seconds. By comparison:
- The Toyota Camry TRD comes with a 301-horsepower V6 engine that gets it from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds.
- The Honda Civic Sport comes with a 158-horsepower four-cylinder motor that can get it from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds.
Handling/Road Grip
The 2022 Acura TLX Type S has a torque-vectoring, rear-biased, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system that helps it handle well on rain-slick roads in Columbus. By comparison:
- The Toyota Camry TRD comes with a unique track-tuned suspension, but all-wheel drive is not available on the TRD trim
- The Honda Civic Sport doesn't offer all-wheel drive.
Ride Quality
The 2022 Acura TLX Type S comes with a sport-tuned Adaptive Damper System, large Brembo® front brake calipers, and high-performance chassis bracing for a comfortable ride and athletic handling. By comparison:
- The Toyota Camry TRD has stiff shocks, large brakes, and a TRD-specific suspension system that gives it capable handling, but it's not quite as dynamic as the TLX Type S.
- The Honda Civic Sport has a relaxed ride and engaging handling, but it doesn't have the specialized suspension and chassis that the TLX Type S has.
Interior Quality
The 2022 Acura TLX Type S has a sporty, plush interior with a sleek center stack and sumptuous comfort features like Ultrasuede®-trimmed seats, a flat-bottom sport steering wheel, padded leather, wood, and aluminum. It also remains quiet at higher speeds thanks to generous insulation and sound-deadening materials. By comparison:
- The Toyota Camry TRD comes with synthetic leather upholstery and aluminum sport pedals. However, its cabin isn’t well-insulated from engine and road noise.
- The Honda Civic Sport has well-cushioned seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. But its materials quality and overall design isn’t as up to date as some of its class rivals.
Tech Features
The 2022 Acura TLX Type S is packed with handy tech features, including a 10.2-inch infotainment display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hot spot, navigation, a premium audio system, and heated and power-adjustable front seats. People in Columbus will appreciate its standard sunroof for a lighter, airier interior. By comparison:
- The Toyota Camry TRD comes with automatic climate control, a 7-inch touch screen, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but a sunroof isn't available on this trim.
- The Honda Civic Sport has a 7-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and push button start, but it doesn't have navigation or heated front seats.
