Choosing what luxurious sedan to purchase can be a huge challenge. You want the best, but how do you wade through all the choices available to you out there? At Acura of Brookfield, we want to give you some assistance by suggesting one of our personal favorites, the 2019 Acura TLX. This vehicle is efficient, powerful, and full of some of the greatest advancements out there. We’re so confident in our choice, that we’re going to compare it to one of its top competitors, the 2019 Lexus IS.
Performance
When you purchase a sporty sedan, you want the proper blend of power and efficiency. To feel the air whip past you and your engine growl beneath the hood, but to be able to afford enjoying it on the highway and in the city without expensive visits to the gas pump. The TLX strikes this superb blend of strength and fuel economy, while the Lexus seems to fall a bit short. They feature quite similar powertrains on their most-upgraded trims. The Lexus has an available 3.5L V6 engine that generates 311 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, whereas the Acura’s 3.5L V6 is able to produce 290 horsepower and 267 lb.-ft. of torque. However, the Acura runs at an exceptional 20/31 MPG city/hwy, compared to the Lexus’ 20/28 MPG city/hwy2. This might not sound like a lot initially, but when you drive frequently, this lack of efficiency will start to hit your wallet where it hurts.
Interior
Examine the cockpits of the 2019 Acura TLX and the Lexus IS and you’ll quickly see a disparity. The TLX is available in gorgeous top grain Milano leather, whereas the Lexus is upholstered with leatherette material. You’ll both see and feel this difference in quality. Likewise, the Lexus’ driver’s seat offers a respectable 10-way power adjustable design. This is certainly adequate, but it can’t match the customization you’ll achieve with the TLX’s available 12-way power seat with lumbar support and thigh extension. In the Acura, 3-level heated front seats come standard on the TLX. When you choose to go with the Lexus, you’ll have to shell out some additional money if you want to stay warm during those cold nights driving on I-43.
Technology
Truly settling in for a drive requires more than just a comfortable interior, but one that is jam-packed with the modern technology people crave. You’ll certainly find this when you get behind the wheel of the TLX. For example, it has the incredible GPS-linked3 automatic climate control, which will independently adjust your settings based on the environment around you. This is a feature that the Lexus is not able to provide.
Now that you’ve seen the 2019 Acura TLX vs 2019 Lexus IS near Milwaukee, WI, we hope you can tell which is the superior vehicle. If you’d like to test the TLX out for yourself, don’t hesitate to come to Acura of Brookfield and take it for a test drive!

“ I have an old RSX, and if I can't fix it myself, I take it here. The service writer I usually work with is first rate, and he has helped me numerous times in the past. He once even took pictures of my broken rear aftermarket spring and sent it to me so I could send it in to get the lifetime warranty. On a different occasion I thought the driver side outer cv boot was cracked. They inspected it and determined it wasn't, but clamped my catalytic heat shield because one of the flanges rusted off. ”

“ Went there for a recall and without a delay everything was done to the T. Dan was helpful see you soon Dan. Thank you Mo ”
"Larry of Cudahy"






“ I was satisfied but 2 things I didn't like. David was misleading on somethings. 1 was the hud. He claimed that cameras read the speed limit signs when it doesn't work that way. He also said it has remote start when it does not. It has the capability to be remotely started. You need to download an app then BUY a plan for around a $100 per year. That's not having remote start. I should've walked away when the closer walked in and checked out other dealer's. If I had to do it over I wouldn't have settled for the price I payed. ”

"My car looks extra good! "






“ Took my 2010 TL in for excessive oil consumption recall and they repaired it. They offered a discount on other overdue maintenance items at a significant savings since they were already going into the engine. Car was super clean when I picked it up. A coworker asked, “Did they paint it?” I guess I could take it for a wash a little more often. Bottom line, great experience. ”
