"We're very proud that the 2015 TLX is the latest Acura model to earn a Top Safety Pick + rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This addition to our family of top safety-rated vehicles means Acura once again is leading all luxury nameplates with the most models earning an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating for 2014.
In addition to its Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, TLX is leading the brand with the introduction of our AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies with leading-edge road-sensing and collision-mitigation capabilities, including pedestrian sensing.
Along with thrilling performance and sophisticated design, advanced safety is a foundational element of Acura DNA. That is why our development team sought not only to make TLX a thrill to drive, but targeted the achievement of IIHS' highest possible safety rating - Top Safety Pick +. We're pleased with this result and will continue our efforts to ensure that advanced safety remains a hallmark of the Acura brand."
