Acura TLX Safety 2015 Sedan Specification

The 2015 Acura TLX Sedan is engineered with a comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to ensure maximum protection for both driver and passengers. At its core, the TLX is equipped with AcuraWatch™, a collection of technologies that enhance situational awareness and mitigate collision risks.

The sedan also boasts Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), both of which are designed to keep the vehicle within its lane. The Multi-View Rear Camera, standard in the TLX, offers a 360-degree perspective to aid in parking and maneuvering in tight spaces. For additional structural safety, the vehicle incorporates Acura's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which enhances occupant protection in frontal collisions by distributing crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle.

Advanced airbag systems, including front, side, and side curtain airbags, are strategically placed to provide optimal coverage in the event of an impact. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with traction control further contribute to safer driving dynamics. The 2015 TLX also includes features like Blind Spot Information (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor to alert drivers of vehicles in hard-to-see areas.

In terms of passive safety, the TLX is built with high-strength steel and features crumple zones designed to absorb and dissipate energy during a crash. Overall, the 2015 Acura TLX Sedan integrates a robust array of active and passive safety technologies, ensuring a secure and confident driving experience.
