What is the range on Acura TLX?
In practical terms, the Acura TLX typically delivers about 400 miles per full tank on gasoline models, with the exact range varying by engine choice, drivetrain, and driving conditions.
To understand what this means, it helps to know that “range” depends on two main factors: how far the car can travel per gallon (fuel economy) and how many gallons the fuel tank holds. For most gasoline TLX models, the fuel tank is around 15.9 gallons. The range will change if you choose a different powertrain, such as the hybrid or performance-oriented variants, which have different efficiency and fueling characteristics. The numbers below reflect common configurations and illustrate how range can vary across the TLX lineup.
Range by configuration
The following estimates assume a full tank and typical mixed driving. Actual range will vary with driving style, terrain, climate control use, and maintenance.
- TLX 2.0L Turbo FWD: roughly 400–450 miles per tank, depending on year and EPA estimates for combined mpg.
- TLX 2.0L Turbo AWD: roughly 380–430 miles per tank, reflecting the AWD mpg penalty.
- TLX Hybrid e:HEV: typically higher efficiency, often exceeding 500 miles per tank in mixed driving, though exact range varies with battery state and mpg.
- TLX Type S (3.0L Turbo V6): performance-focused variant with lower mpg than standard gas models, generally delivering around 350–420 miles per tank depending on conditions.
For the most precise figure, check the EPA fuel economy label for your exact model year and trim, or consult the owner's manual. Real-world range can swing by several tens of miles based on how you drive and the environment.
How range is calculated
Range = fuel tank capacity × miles per gallon (mpg). Acura’s gasoline TLX models typically have about a 15.9-gallon tank, but this can vary slightly by year or trim. Different powertrains have different mpg ratings, so the resulting range reflects both tank size and efficiency.
Maximizing range
To stretch range, drive leaner (steady speed, gentle acceleration), keep tires properly inflated, minimize air conditioning use on the highway, and schedule regular maintenance to preserve fuel efficiency. Your exact range will still depend on the combination of powertrain and driving conditions.
Summary
The Acura TLX offers a range that generally sits in the 400–450 miles per tank for standard gas models, with hybrids offering higher efficiency and potentially longer per-tank distance. The Type S and AWD variants tend to fall toward the lower end of the gasoline range due to efficiency differences. For a precise figure, refer to the EPA ratings for your specific year, trim, and drivetrain, and note that real-world range will vary with driving style and conditions.
