The 2018 TLX will be the first Acura that features a redesigned dual-screen user interface (ODMD 2.0), providing drivers with more intuitive menus and command structures. The system is complemented by a new 7-inch capacitive touchscreen (previously resistive type) with a 30% faster response time and Android Auto compatibility, which will put a user’s phone’s most useful Apps on the TLX’s display. The new vehicle also supports Apple CarPlay, allowing iPhone users to get directions optimized for traffic, make calls, send and receive messages, and listen to music more easily.
The 2018 TLX also holds the distinction of being the first Acura sedan to take design cues from the Acura Precision Concept, as evidenced by the Acura diamond pentagon grille up front and amplified by its more sharply sculpted hood and front fenders. The design is completed by Acura’s signature 5-lamp Jewel Eye LED headlights and new alloy wheel designs.
