The Lexus ES vs. the Acura TLX
Power and Performance
As you shop for new Lexus ES sedans in Lubbock, you'll find a handful of configurations with a 302-horsepower V6 engine. That tops the Acura TLX sedan's output of 272 horsepower through a 2.0-liter VTEC® Turbo engine. Your Lexus can react to West Texas roads around Levelland and not just handle them, thanks to Dynamic Torque Control all-wheel drive. The Acura TLX offers a rear-biased Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ system for Type S models. The Lexus ES does a better job of diverting 100% of the power to the front wheels during normal driving conditions to deliver enhanced efficiency. The result? The Lexus ES gives you confident handling when you need it and prioritizes efficiency in other settings so you make fewer trips to Lubbock pumps to refuel.
Fuel Economy
More West Texas commuters from Levelland prefer the new Lexus ES, and that's not a surprise given the significantly superior fuel economy ratings. A new Lexus ES is rated for 25/34/28 (city/highway/combined) miles per gallon. Your Lexus ES can earn 34 highway miles per gallon taking I-27 to Lubbock. The Lexus sedan tops the Acura TLX, which earns 22/31/25 miles per gallon. There's also no hybrid option for the Acura TLX. Roam Lubbock in a new Lexus ES Hybrid and earn 44 combined miles per gallon.
Interior Space
Are you shopping at a Lubbock supermarket? The new Lexus ES has 13.9 cubic feet of trunk space. That's slightly bigger than the 13.5 cubic-foot trunk of the Acura TLX. Both new sedans have 42.4 inches of front-row legroom. That's plenty for Slaton commuters. But are passengers taking along on the way to McPherson Cellars Winery in Lubbock? The Lexus ES lets them stretch out their legs with 39.2 inches of legroom. The Acura TLX is tight in the back with 34.9 inches of legroom. Total passenger volume in the Acura TLX is 93 cubic feet. The Lexus ES is roomier, with a higher total passenger volume of 100 cubic feet.
Comfort and Interior Features
The Lexus ES can come with a power trunk featuring a kick sensor for the loading convenience of Slaton drivers. All they have to do is wave their foot under the Lexus ES with the key fob nearby. There's no comparable feature for the TLX. A precision-crafted steering wheel in the Lexus ES measures palm distribution pressure across multiple points to provide more natural grip. A flat-bottom steering wheel is available but not standard for the TLX, which offers Iconic Driveâ„¢ Ambient Lighting, 12-way power front seats, and a power moonroof.
The Lexus ES counters with wood trim featuring ambient lighting, a 14-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and a panorama glass roof. A TLX offers premium full-grain Milano leather trim or Ultrasuede® trim, while the new Lexus ES can come with a quilted semi-aniline leather-trimmed interior. The Lexus ES offers NuLuxe upholstery in three different colors, along with additional upholstery choices. With 10 interior designs to choose from, the Lexus ES is a more customizable luxury sedan for Brownfield, TX customers to buy.
Technology
Every ES features the Lexus Interface, and the touchscreen display can be as large as 12.3 inches. The Acura TLX has a smaller 10.2-inch full HD center display. Smartphone compatibility for the Acura TLX isn't wireless. With wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ integration for the Lexus ES, Wolfforth motorists can access their favorite smartphone apps and music en route to Lubbock. The new Lexus ES offers a Mark Levinson® Pure Play Surround Sound with Clari-Fi®, while the Acura TLX counters with an ELS Studio 3D® Premium Audio System.
Through Intelligent Assistant, Slaton commuters can say, "Hey, Lexus" to their ES sedan and add navigation points to Lubbock, change audio selections, or adjust cabin temperature with ease. As you head back to Brownfield, TX with your Lexus ES, the 10.2-inch full-color Head-Up Display lets you visualize information on the sedan's windshield. The Head-Up Display for the Acura TLX only comes with the Type S models.
