Hi! I'm new here, and I am considering in getting a 2018+ TLX.

I saw that the 4cyl does up to 33MPG EPA on highway and the v6 does 32MPG EPA, so for that reason I decided to go and get a V6 definitelly.

At first I wanted the base or whatever version, as long as it was White, Silver or Red, that was my search filters.

Now, I think I'm into the A-Spec since it is a bit stiffer (but I never drove any TLX, I have a G37s coupe supercharged and once I sell it I'll get the family sedan, and I will really really miss the stiffness of the G37s but it's not practical at all)

Now the issue is here, doing a quick google search I found out that a FWD TLX V6 does 20/32MPG, but the A-Spec V6 FWD does 20/30MPG, Is that right? Why that difference? Both are V6 FWD (I don't want the AWD, only comparing the FWD) so what am I missing here?

Also, should I wait until the 2021 gets released for sale so the 2018, 2019 prices go down or you think that won't affect? I depend on the sale of my actual vehicle and since it's heavily modified, I can't trade it in, and the buyer has to be an enthusiast so it could take up to six months.

Thanks in advance! Kind regards.-

 

Probably just aero and wheels. The A-Spec wheels are wider (and probably heavier) so you'll see a slight hit to MPGs at freeway speeds.

 

Agreed. A-Spec has bigger wheels and is slightly heavier. Tech package also has bigger wheels than a base V6.

I’ve had both the 4cyl and V6 TLX. The V6 is great with MPG on the highway. But if you do more city driving, the 4 cyl is much better and hits the MPG targets.
