Pricing for the 2024 TLX has gone up to an even $45,000 on the base model, as the Technology Package now comes standard on all models. Adding SH-AWD brings the price to $50,000 because it is bundled with the sporty A-Spec Package. The TLX Type S costs $57,000 to start and the only available options are premium paints ($650) and dealer-installed accessories like the special wheels. Even with those added, our tester came in at a reasonable $60,960.
Competitive sedans from Audi, BMW, and Lexus might seem similarly priced on paper, but they come with far fewer standard features. Those cars can all get close to $70,000 if you tick enough options, something that isn’t possible with the TLX.
Even with the improvements for 2024, the TLX Type S is not the perfect luxury sport sedan. The back seat and trunk are less than impressive and it’s slower than the competition. However, that competitive starting price and strong roster of standard features make it excellent value amongst its rivals. If you care more about comfort than lap times, the TLX Type S is a brilliant option.
