Acura will introduce two handcrafted limited-production models at the 2019 New York Auto Show, starting with the 2020 TLX PMC Edition, set to be built by the same technicians who hand-assemble the NSX supercar. Deliveries for the TLX PMC Edition are scheduled to begin this summer with pricing starting from around US$ 50,000. The automaker will also introduce an MDX PMC Edition, joining the TLX on display in New York next week.

The 2020 TLX PMC Edition will sit atop the TLX lineup, powered by an i-VTEC V6 unit working alongside Acura’s SH-AWD system. Also available will be a full complement of premium features shared with the TLX Advance Package, as well as interior and exterior elements from Acura’s A-Spec line.


Each TLX PMC Edition model will be finished in Valencia Red Pearl, which is said to be the most vibrant color ever offered by Acura – previously reserved only for the flagship NSX supercar. The paint features nano pigment technology, producing a high color saturation and deep levels of contrast. Because of a very complex manufacturing process, each PMC edition car undergoes the same thorough hand inspection process as the NSX, meaning that altogether, it takes 5 days to finish the painting process.

Acura technicians will begin to hand-assemble the vehicles, before adding the body-color grille surround, gloss black painted roof and door handles, dark chrome 4-inch dual exhaust finishers, and the PMC Edition 19-inch wheels.


As for the interior, there are black Milano leather seats with Alcantara inserts, custom floor mats, plus black piping and red stitching for the seats, door panels and center armrest. Meanwhile, the A-Spec steering wheel boasts perforated black leather, red stitching and metal-finished paddle shifters, while the center console comes with an individually numbered serial plaque.

The TLX PMC Edition comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, heated and ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, the Acura ELS Studio premium audio system with 10 speakers, wireless charging, a Surround view camera, power folding door mirrors with auto-dimming, and the AcuraWatch suite of active safety systems.
