Used 2022 Acura TLX for Sale nearToms River, NJ

How much does the 2022 Acura TLX cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 763 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Acura TLX a good car?

Yes — with a 5/5 user rating and an expert rating of 7.5/10, the 2022 Acura TLX looks like a strong pick if you want a luxury sedan with a distinctive personality. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.

The TLX’s appeal comes through in its road presence, attention to detail, and genuine performance capability, and it does that while staying at a reasonable premium versus mainstream alternatives. The trade-offs are worth weighing, though: cargo space is limited, the back seat is cramped, and the touchpad interface takes some getting used to.

Good and great deals percentage: 28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Acura TLX reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The TLX’s reliability case is helped by Acura’s reputation for smooth, well-sorted powertrains, and the expert notes say the car runs smooth, pulls hard, and has no trouble getting out of its own way. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic that shifts quickly and picks the right gear in any driving mode, which supports a polished day-to-day driving experience.

If you’re considering the Type S, the performance tuning adds track-ready hardware and stronger output, but the regular TLX is described as more softly sprung and easier to live with. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about mechanical drama and more about choosing the version that best matches your comfort and usage needs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Acura TLX?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can check for wear, electronics issues, and signs that the car hasn’t been maintained as carefully as it should have been. Focus especially on interior condition and rear-seat and cargo-area usability, since those are among the TLX’s practical weak spots.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The TLX’s styling changes meaningfully across trims, with the Type S adding exclusive paint, black exterior accents, and four fat exhaust pipes, while A-Spec models bring much of the extra flair. Base trims miss some of the more dramatic visual and luxury touches, so you should compare equipment carefully if appearance matters to you.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 272 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while the Type S uses a 3.0-liter turbo V6 with 355 hp and 354 lb-ft. SH-AWD is available, and the Type S adds track-focused hardware such as adaptive dampers and a double-wishbone front suspension.
• Safety package: AcuraWatch comes standard and includes lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high beams, traffic-sign recognition, and semi-automated highway steering. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors are included on the Technology Package and all higher trims.
• Infotainment: The TLX uses a widescreen display, quick voice recognition, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, and an ELS Studio audio system with 17 speakers. The head-up display is available only with the Advance Package, and some features such as 360-degree cameras and heated rear seats are also restricted to that package.
• Fuel efficiency: The regular TLX with SH-AWD is rated at 21/29/24, and as high as 21/31/25 in FWD. The Type S is rated at 19 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined on summer tires, with a 1-mpg highway gain on all-seasons.

Which 2022 Acura TLX trim should I buy?

The 2022 Acura TLX is offered in 4 trim levels: Technology Package, A-Spec, Advance Package, Type S.

Here's the short version:

• Technology Package: This is the trim that adds meaningful everyday value, especially because it brings blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors. If you want the best balance of equipment and price, this is the one to target first.
• A-Spec: This trim is the better choice if you care more about style, since it adds much of the extra visual flair, including blackout window trim. It suits you if you want the TLX to feel more distinctive without jumping all the way to the top model.
• Advance Package: This is the comfort-and-convenience trim, with the head-up display, 360-degree cameras, heated rear seats, and heated steering wheel. It makes the most sense if you want the most relaxed and fully equipped TLX experience.
• Type S: This is the performance-focused choice, with the 3.0-liter turbo V6, SH-AWD, adaptive dampers, Brembo front brakes, and track-developed chassis hardware. Buy this if you want the strongest driving character and can live with the trade-offs in ride and tire noise.

AcuraWatch comes standard, but the extra driver-assistance and convenience features are reserved for the Technology Package and higher.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Acura TLX?

• Deal availability: 28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 763 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.

What is the 2022 Acura TLX's resale value?

The current average of $32,477 sits slightly above last year's $32,414.

That small increase suggests the TLX has held its value fairly well, which is a good sign if you plan to sell later. A stable price trend usually means the market sees the car as desirable without being overheated, so you’re less likely to face a sharp drop in value. Strong demand for a distinctive luxury sedan can also help support resale when the car is kept in good condition.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Acura TLX safe?

The 2022 Acura TLX is rated a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and it earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four stars in the frontal passenger-side test and five stars in all other NHTSA tests.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

AcuraWatch comes standard and includes lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high beams, traffic-sign recognition, and forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors are included on the Technology Package and all higher trims.

Should I buy a 2022 Acura TLX or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 28.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 80.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 TLX is unchanged from the redesign year and keeps the same distinctive styling and strong performance character.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $26,875, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $32,477 average.
• It introduces the new platform, exterior, interior, and powertrain choices.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $35,339, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $32,477 average.
• It emphasizes a stylish, comfortable luxury-sports-sedan balance.

The bottom line: if you want the best mix of current-market stability, strong safety, and distinctive design, the 2022 is the cleanest choice. If your priority is saving money, the 2021 is the value play; if you want to spend more for a newer listing, the 2023 may appeal, but you’ll pay a premium for it.
