The most notable of these advantages is base-level engine power. The Acura TLX comes with 206 horsepower while the Audi A4 falls short at just 188 horsepower. Another major advantage is the cargo capacity numbers. The Acura TLX has 14.3 cubic feet of space in the trunk while the Audi A4 comes in at just 13 cubic feet.

Safety is another area where the Acura TLX comes out on top as adaptive cruise control is a standard feature on all trim levels, while the BMW 3 Series only offers it as an expensive add-on. Cold winter morning commutes around Sylvania and Ypsilanti are made much more pleasant thanks to the standard heated seats that the Acura TLX features, which are an optional add-on for the BMW 3 series.
