15 4 cyl tech vs 16 4 cyl tech

I don't see many differences. One question I have is around the lane departure warning. On the 16 MDX and 16 Accord, the beep is gone and the steering wheel slightly shakes. I LOVE that so much better than the beep.

Do any members know if the 16 TLX's wheel vibrates as well, and the beep is gone?

Also, any other changes/upgrades/etc?

My 2015 v6 has the wheel shake without any audible tone. Though maybe I had turned it off, can't remember. I turned off some audio tone that wasn't necessary...

In Canada the wheel shake is solely a feature on the SH-AWD Elite (Advance) for both 15 and 16. The Techs have the audible beep.

That feature is called road departure mitigation system, and its only available on the advance models in the US, and Elite models in Canada. The Lane Departure warning is the audible beep.

The newer Acura's are getting whats called an Acurawatch package, which includes all the additional safety features that are generally only included in the advanced/Tech packages, and the 2016 Hondas are getting them in the "Honda Sensing" package.

The Honda Sensing™ suite includes:

Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
