2021 Acura TLX vs 2021 Lexus ES in Brookfield, WI

2021 Acura TLX with Advance Package in Majestic Black Pearl. 

Why Should I Drive the 2021 Acura TLX?

Are you perusing the market for a luxury sedan that abides by your refined tastes? Look no further as the 2021 Acura TLX has finally landed on our showroom floor at Acura of Brookfield. This model is making waves on the automotive landscape for its relentless performance and peak opulence alone, and you can revel in everything that it has to offer when you test drive. In the interim, we have stacked it against the 2021 Lexus ES to see how it fares compared to similar vehicles in its bracket. When you’re ready to get started on your contract, drop by our Finance Department!

Performance

What better way to get this overview started than by popping open the hoods of each vehicle to see what they have to offer in the way of mechanical prowess. The TLX comes suited up with a standard 2.0L Turbocharged aluminum-alloy engine that revs to the tune of 272 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque when you press down on the accelerator. This powertrain works in tandem with a 10-speed automatic transmission that is married to sequential SportShift paddle shifters to give you full reign over your acceleration capabilities. As for the Lexus ES, you’ll have to make do with a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder powertrain that musters up 203 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. Pair that with its standard 8-speed automatic transmission, and you might fall behind the pack while driving down Pewaukee Road. 

Interior

If you’re in the market for a vehicle of the Acura TLX’s caliber, then a cabin that represents the lap of luxury is an absolute must. This model steps things up compared to the competition, thanks to its available 16-way power front seats that work in tandem with power lumbar support. As for the ES, the best you’ll be able to get are 14-way power-adjustable chairs, which don’t relieve tension quite as effectively. The Acura model also allows you to stay current with pertinent details about your drive with help from the available 10.5-inch Head-Up Display. The Lexus vehicle only boasts an optional 10.2-inch display, which doesn’t quite provide the same clarity. Finally, the 2021 TLX includes standard Siri® Eyes Free to access your iPhone’s features without diverting your attention from the road. You won’t find this feature in the Lexus vehicle!

Exterior

First impressions are everything, and the TLX will turn heads no matter where you travel. This model starts things off strong with its standard Jewel Eye® LED headlights that provide an effortless glow while you navigate your afternoon commutes. When it comes to the 2021 ES, you will have to shell out extra cash on upgrades to experience this type of clarity, since it comes standard with Bi-LED options. The Acura vehicle will also have you sitting head and shoulders above the competition, thanks to its standard 18-inch Glitter Silver multi-spoke wheels that will send you gliding over the pavement in style. The Lexus ES comes standard with 17-inch alloy options, which will have you sitting lower.

Testimonials

I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Brian Hoppe was our salesperson and he was great. He made the purchase smooth from testing the car to purchasing it. Communicating prior to test drive was easy. I sent a message and they reached out and were able to set up an appointment on the same day. No spam calls, just text for communication as we preferred. Upon arrival, Brian was very thoughtful and had warmed up the car for us to test drive. We were able to immediately hop in and test drive without having to worry about warming up the engine or having a hovering salesperson in the backseat. He was not pushy at all, and he didn't have to be. The cars here speak for themselves. You could tell the car was well taken care of and maintained to Acura of Brookfield's high standards. We were able to test drive for a while before confirming the purchase. Although it was past working hours, Brian stayed late to set us up for financing. He took care of us and made sure we had drinks and snacks. The price was reasonable and on top of that Brian set us up with even better financing rates than we had initially hoped for. It was a easy yes. We were able to wrap up signing papers and pick it up the next day which took not even an hour. The car was newly washed, tank full, car warmed up, and parked in front for our convenience. It also had Acura merch plus a little gift. Fun! It made the experience great and throughly seamless. Note, we had been searching for a car for over two months dealing with shady dealerships and salespersons who were pushy and deceptive. This dealership and it's employees were nothing like that. They are honest and fair and hold themselves to high standards when it comes to the quality of their cars. I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Just purchased a pre-owned Honda Accord from Brian Hoppe at Acura of Brookfield. From the moment I walked through the showroom doors he was very professional and easy to deal with. He answered EVERY question I had. He knew a lot about the vehicle that I was interested in and truly made me feel like a valued customer. No hidden fees or high pressure sales. The whole process was very refreshing! I will be buying more cars from Brian in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!

Just bought my second Certified Used car from Acura of Brookfield, 8 years after my first one. I worked with Malcolm and he was great - personable, honest, and he knew the vehicles well. I had planned on a 4-5 year cycle but couldn't let go of my TL and now stepped into a MDX. Both times I was treated with attention and respect - it was a great buying experience and pricing was competitive. I really appreciate how they run this dealership and will recommend them to anyone.
