Understand Acura Trim Levels: Pick the Right Fit at Schaller Acura Manchester


Choosing the right Acura isn’t just about the model. Trim levels matter, and in Acura’s case, they matter a lot. At Schaller Acura in Manchester, CT, we’re breaking it all down so you can pick the one that fits like a glove. Whether you're eyeing a sleek TLX or a three-row MDX, each trim level adds serious value, style, and performance without padding the fluff.

Here’s how it all shakes out.

What’s a Trim Level, Anyway?

Think of trim levels as curated versions of the same vehicle. Each step-up builds on the last – more features, more tech, more attitude. Acura keeps it tight and smart, so you won’t have to sift through 12 versions of the same car. Fewer gimmicks, more purpose.

Base Trim: Acura Doesn’t Do Basic

Let’s be clear: even the “base” trim on an Acura isn’t stripped down. You’re already getting premium materials, sharp design, and tech that doesn’t feel dated. Features like:

  • Jewel Eye® LED Headlights
  • AcuraWatch™ Safety Suite (standard across the lineup)
  • Heated Front Seats
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • Power-Adjustable Driver’s Seat

Models like the Acura Integra and RDX in their entry trims still feel like luxury, because they are. This is a launchpad, not a compromise.

Technology Trim: Where Smart Gets Smarter

Move into the Technology trim, and things start to feel even more dialed in. Think upgraded audio, extra safety tech, and a more connected driving experience:

  • Acura Navigation System with 3D View
  • Premium Audio Systems (like ELS Studio®)
  • Blind Spot Information System
  • Rear Cross Traffic Monitor
  • GPS-Linked Climate Control

If you like your luxury with a tech-savvy twist, the Technology trim is often the sweet spot, especially on the TLX and MDX.

A-Spec®: Looks That Go Hard

Want your Acura with a little more edge? The A-Spec® trim dials up the sport factor. With aggressive styling, interior flair, and exclusive finishes, this trim shouts performance:

  • 20-inch Shark Gray Wheels (varies by model)
  • Dark Chrome Accents
  • Flat-Bottom Sport Steering Wheel
  • Ultrasuede®-Trimmed Seating
  • Red Instrument Panel Lighting

Available on models like the RDX, TLX, and MDX, the A-Spec® makes a statement from every angle, and it doesn’t sacrifice comfort to get there.

Advance Trim: All the Bells, All the Whistles

If you’re the type who wants everything from the jump, Advance is your trim. This is where comfort, tech, and refinement come together for the most complete Acura experience:

  • Ventilated Front Seats and Heated Rear Seats
  • Surround-View Camera System
  • Heads-up Display (Tlx and MDX)
  • Genuine Wood or Premium Interior Accents
  • Adaptive Damper System (on select models)

On models like the MDX Advance, you’re cruising in total control.

Type S: Performance, Full Stop

Then there’s the Type S, Acura’s no-compromise performance trim. If you're into numbers, track-tested engineering, and serious power underfoot, Type S is the one that brings it all home:

  • Turbocharged V6 Engines (up to 355 hp)
  • Sport-Tuned Adaptive Suspension
  • Brembo® Front Brakes
  • Quad Exhaust Outlets
  • Exclusive Type S Interior and Exterior Styling

Offered on the TLX, MDX, and soon the ZDX, the Type S badge means business.
