Acura Is Killing The US-Built TLX — Here’s What’s Replacing It

It looks like Acura was recently playing a game of One Must Go.

A day after confirming the return of the compact Integra for 2026, Honda’s premium brand announced that production of the midsize TLX will end before August.

Both cars are built at Honda’s Marysville Auto Plant alongside the Honda Accord, but the facility is being updated to accommodate electric vehicle manufacturing and production of the new Acura RSX electric SUV is slated to begin at the complex later this year.

The current TLX was launched in 2021 and sales have dropped from 26,100 then to 7,478 last year as the market continues to shift from cars to SUVs. It is available with either a 272 hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 355 hp turbocharged V6 at prices in the $45,000 to $60,000 range.

The Integra will now be Acura’s proper car model, with the rest of the lineup comprised of utility vehicles. Acura builds all of its models in the U.S., except for the entry-level ADX, which is made in Mexico. The Prologue, which is its only electric vehicle on sale today, is built by General Motors at a factory in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

There may be another one following the RSX, however. Last year, global executive vice president Shinji Aoyama said that a supercar in the vein of the NSX that went out of production in 2022 will be on sale by 2028, and it could be an all-American car.

The last NSX was manufactured at Honda’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio and the new one is being developed as a electric vehicle using the same technology as the RSX, so it’s possible it will also be built in Ohio, although that has not yet been confirmed by Honda.
