JAKARTA An era ended for luxury sedan fans, along with the decision of the luxury car division from Honda, namely Acura, to stop the production of the TLX sports sedan at the end of this month at its factory in Ohio, United States.
The move marks the year 2025 model as the last for TLX, a name that has been an integral part of the Acura line since the mid-1990s under the name TL.
The cessation of TLX production, reported by Car and Driver, July 24, is a clear indicator of the shift in Acura's strategy, as well as the broad automotive industry, from the sedan to the sports utility vehicle (SUV) and electric vehicles. With the departure of TLX, Integra hatchback is now the only non-SUV model in the Acura product lineup. Previously, the larger RLX sedan was stopped in 2020, followed by the NSX supercar in 2022.

Acura mentioned the continued decline in sales as the main reason behind this decision. In the first half of 2025, Acura only managed to sell 3,634 units of TLX, well below its peak in 2015 which reached more than 47,000 units.
The history of TLX itself has its roots in the Acura TL which was launched in the mid-1990s as a substitute for the luxury sedan Legend. TL lasted four generations before changing its name to TLX in 2015. The second generation of TLX currently circulating has been produced since 2021.
In the future, TLX will be effectively replaced by a new electric SUV that will carry the name RSX, a name previously used for sportscoupes in the mid 2000s. This electric RSX will also be produced in Marysville, Ohio, at the center of Honda's new electric vehicle. The model will be the first to use a new in-house electric platform that will later be used by Honda and other Acura models.
