What is the 0-60 time for the TLX Type S 2025?
The 0–60 mph time for the 2025 TLX Type S is typically around 4.4 to 4.5 seconds when equipped with the automatic transmission and Acura's SH-AWD all-wheel drive.
Performance figures
To understand where that figure comes from, it helps to note the TLX Type S’s core hardware and how it’s mated to the drivetrain. The 2025 model carries a 3.0-liter twin‑turbo V6 rated at about 355 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Acura’s precision all‑wheel drive (SH‑AWD). For 2025, there is no manual transmission option, and the acceleration figure is tied to the automatic setup.
Key numbers and sources
- Manufacturer claim: 0–60 mph in 4.4 seconds with SH‑AWD and the 10‑speed automatic.
- Independent testing: Automotive outlets have reported roughly 4.4–4.5 seconds in favorable conditions.
- Powertrain details: 3.0‑liter twin‑turbo V6, approximately 355 hp and 354 lb‑ft of torque; 10‑speed automatic; SH‑AWD with torque vectoring.
- Transmission note: No manual option for the TLX Type S in 2025; acceleration figures reflect the automatic transmission.
In practice, 0–60 times vary with surface grip, tire choice, weather, altitude, and launch technique. The Type S’s AWD system and launch characteristics help it achieve strong starts, resulting in sub-5-second runs under the right conditions.
Real-world testing and driving impressions
Automotive publications regularly test the TLX Type S on tracks and roads to gauge real-world performance. Across reviews, times near the mid‑4‑second range are common for the automatic-equipped model when conditions are optimal, with minor deviations based on tires and testing environment.
Beyond just the numbers, reviewers emphasize the Type S’s balanced performance: sharp acceleration, strong mid‑range pull, solid braking, and composure through corners, all supported by Acura’s refined chassis and chassis-sensor tuning.
Summary
The 2025 TLX Type S targets a 0–60 mph time of about 4.4 seconds when equipped with the automatic transmission and SH‑AWD, with independent tests typically falling in the 4.4–4.5 second range under favorable conditions. The car achieves this through a turbocharged V6, all-wheel-drive dynamics, and a performance-oriented chassis, while continuing to omit a manual option for the year.
