Another popular sedan gets the axe as Honda slashes one of its US-built cars
Another sedan is exiting the US car market. Acura, Honda's luxury vehicle brand, told he Daily Mail that its mid-size sedan, the TLX, will stop rolling off dealership lots in 2026. The Ohio-built sedan is the latest small car to be killed off in the US. Buyers are favoring crossovers and pickup trucks instead, leading to major lineup changes. Acura introduced its mid-size luxury sedan to America in 1995. It initially carried the nameplate TL. The blocky, high-end car immediately became a hit, selling 24,700 units in its first full year of sales. It peaked in 2005, selling 78,218 units. But those sales haven't kept up. Last year, only 7,478 customers brought a new TLX to their driveway. This year, the $45,000 sedan's sales are down another 8.6 percent. 'Since the car's initial success, sales have been in a gradual, but steady decline as consumers increasingly turn to crossover utility vehicles,' Chris Naughton, a spokesperson for Honda and Acura, said. Acura's best-sellers are mostly SUVs. Three of the company's top-four vehicles - the MDX, RDX, and electric ZDX - are small- to mid-size family cars. The luxury automaker, which enjoyed a 4.4 percent increase in sales compared to last year, has delivered 78,476 vehicles this year. Now, the automaker only has one small vehicle offering: the Integra. Acura revived the $33,000, sport-oriented hatchback in 2022 after a 16-year hiatus from the US market. When the Japanese import reached American consumers in the 1990s, it quickly became a classic among enthusiasts. The easily modifiable racer was huge in vehicle tuning culture. Now, its made in the US. 'Integra has been our best-selling sedan since it returned to the lineup,' Naughton said. 'Both sedan models are built on the same line at the Marysville Auto Plant, TLX and Integra have been competing for capacity. So, rather than have limited volume of two products we will put our production focus on Integra.' Honda's CEO, Toshihiro Mibe, is one of the last executives who has invested in sedans for the US market Acura's small- and mid- sized SUVs have dominated its sales American automakers continue to kill off thier sedans. Multiple US-based brands - including companies that built their reputation in the mid-1900s on the four-door car type - now feature a lineup exclusively filled with SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks. Chrysler only makes a minivan. Chevy no longer makes a new sedan. Ford killed its last sedan, the Fusion, in 2020. That trend is accelerating, with Mitsubishi ripping the Mirage off the market in 2024, and Nissan scheduled to cancel the low-cost Versa by the end of the year. But automakers that have leaned into the small vehicle segment are reporting some ballooning sales.

Acura Kills The TLX After Only Selling 7,478 Of Them In 2024
While the Acura Integra just got a mid-cycle refresh, the larger TLX will soon get the axe. Automotive News reports the midsize sedan will end production by the end of the month, and since it's already July 23, that means the TLX only has days to live, not weeks. RIP in peace, Acura TLX. Granted, it isn't like the TLX was a huge seller. Last year, Acura only sold 7,478 examples in the U.S., down from 16,731 sales in 2023. Meanwhile, 2023 was a much better year for the TLX than 2022 was, when it still only found 11,508 buyers. For comparison, BMW sold 25,315 examples of the 5 Series here in 2024 and moved 22,401 units in 2023. Considering how poorly it's been selling, it isn't terribly surprising that Acura would decide to pull the plug. That said, it doesn't sound like it's entirely the TLX's fault. In order to prep its Marysville Auto Plant to build electric vehicles, Acura moved Accord, Integra and TLX production to the same line, which likely limited how many TLXs it could build. "Those production changes are crimping their sales because they can't build, and with an Accord facelift on the horizon, they have to decide whether to invest in both vehicles or just let the TLX go," Stephanie Brinley, associate director of S&P Global Mobility, told AutoNews. Read more: These Are The Worst Transmission Recalls Of The Last 5 Years Only A Matter Of Time Then again, the deck was also stacked against the TLX's success, even before the first example rolled off the assembly line. It was, after all, a new sedan in a world that no longer likes sedans. Instead, most buyers want a crossover of some sort. Even if you're just looking at luxury vehicles, sedans reportedly dropped from 22% of the market in 2022 to 18% in 2024. "The migration to utility vehicles has just not stopped, even in the luxury segment," Brinley told AutoNews. "Luxury sedans are still more popular in the luxury segment relatively than they are in the mainstream segment, but even so, the share keeps dropping." The other issue, of course, was that even though the TLX and Acura's performance version, the TLX Type S, were pretty darn good cars, they both competed in seriously crowded segments with long-established players, as well as newcomers such as the Cadillac CT5 and Genesis G80. And while you could expect the TLX to cost less to maintain and repair in the long run, it struggled to stand out. Sure, it came with a fancy all-wheel drive system and didn't cost quite as much as some other cars in the segment, but clearly, that wasn't enough to bring in a steady stream of paying customers. Then again, prices on used TLX Type Ss are already getting down into the low $30,000 range, so maybe the upside here is that you'll soon be able to pick up a pre-owned, all-wheel-drive TLX with 355 horsepower in the mid-to-high twenties. So at least there's that. It's just too bad Acura didn't offer it with a manual transmission. Want more like this?
