2020 TLX Exterior
Besides the addition of five new color options, the TLX's exterior is otherwise unchanged since its most significant update in 2018. That means the large, pentagon grille with a bigger Acura badge gives the frontal aspect a neat appearance with just enough presence. Jewel Eye LED headlights, LED taillights and brake lights, and 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels on standard models are among the features included across the range (some packages feature bigger and more stylish wheel designs). The A-Spec model stands out with black exterior trim, unique wheels, a piano black decklid spoiler, and different front and rear bumpers. The PMC is further differentiated by a body-colored grille surround, gloss black roof, dark chrome exhaust finishers, and gloss black 19-inch wheels.

Exterior Colors
Four new premium colors have been introduced for the 2020 TLX. They are Canyon Bronze Metallic, Majestic Black Pearl, Performance Red Pearl, and Apex Blue Pearl - the latter hue is exclusive to the A-Spec model. Each color costs $400 over the standard colors. The four standard colors are Platinum White Pearl, Lunar Silver Metallic, Modern Steel Metallic, and Fathom Blue Pearl. San Marino Red, previously available for the 2019 model year, falls away. New for 2020, the PMC Edition featured hand-applied Valencia Red Pearl paint, which is shared with the NSX supercar uses nano-pigment technology. It adds a one-of-a-kind shine to the TLX's attractive body lines but comes at an expensive premium.
