The luxury sedan segment is a continually evolving market especially with luxury SUVs dominating currently. While the ES 350 has been redesigned and is only available as a hybrid(350h) or EV (350e & 500e), the TLX has been completely discontinued. having said that, there are still plenty of used Lexus 350s and Acura TLX models available.

The Lexus ES 350 for sale offers outstanding value after a ground up redesign improving the performance, efficiency, technology, and luxury of this popular sedan. Let's take a closer look at one of its previous competitors and how they now stack up. Below we compare the Acura TLX to the Lexus ES 350. These are two of the most popular luxury sedans in America.

The Acura TLX is part of the 1st generation TLX designed in 2015 to replace the TL and TSX, which combined more performance & luxury into a conventional midsize sedan. The base Acura TLX 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is under-powered and upgrading to the V6 engine is a must for anyone looking for luxury sedan level performance. The TLX is due for an update, but it still offers good value for a luxury vehicle. Its interior is handsome with a quiet ride, but doesn't have the upscale interior of a Lexus. The back seats and trunk are both spacious. There are two digital displays, which is a little much. We would prefer a larger touch screen instead. Overall, the TLX is a great sedan for a reasonable price. 

Overall, we highly recommend test-driving the Lexus ES 350. It is one of the most fun, exciting Lexus cars available and has the total package of performance, upscale design, efficiency, and technology. For the TLX to come anywhere near the quality and performance of the Lexus ES 350, you would need to upgrade to the 3.5L V6 engine and tech package at a minimum. At that point, why? You're getting a better luxury vehicle in the ES 350 with Lexus' legendary reliability and drivability.
