The 2017 Acura TLX has Earned Top Safety Scores
Holding turbocharged power as standard or an available V6 engine, the 2017 Acura TLX is renowned for its sporty performance, but that doesn’t come at the cost of safety. The Acura TLX is known as a luxury sedan able to fulfil your need for a thrilling ride without sacrificing the space and safety you’d demand from a family-focused model. It continues to walk that line with distinction for 2017, earning top crash-test scores in the process.
5-Star Overall Safety Rating* From the NHTSA
The NHTSA is tasked with putting new vehicles through an exhaustive set of crash-test simulations, with top scores awarded in Rollover, Front Crash, and Side Crash categories. Whether equipped with all-wheel drive (AWD) or front-wheel drive (FWD), the 2017 Acura TLX earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating* from the NHTSA. Opt for the TLX AWD Technology Package for added convenience while you enjoy your peace of mind!
There are full-sized SUVs that don’t supply such protectiveness, and that’s probably because they lack the Acura TLX’s pioneering ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body structure, which intuitively directs impact energy away from the passenger compartment in the event of a collision. Combined with a front seatbelt e-pretensioner system and an array of cutting-edge airbags, it provides truly exceptional protection.
Safety Features
The new TLX might boast first-rate crashworthiness, but that’s an advantage you should never have to put to the test. Each model is fitted with a diverse selection of stability features to keep your drive under control, including:
- Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control and Motion Adaptive Steering
- Agile Handling Assist
- 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
- Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
- Brake assist
- LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Tire Fill Assist
Acura has also invested in some of the industry’s most forward-thinking safety technologies, allowing drivers the opportunity to benefit from the following available driver-assist features:
- Blind-Spot Information System
- Rear Cross Traffic Monitor
- Road Departure Mitigation System
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
- Forward Collision Warning
