    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2023 Acura TLX has a score of 89, implying a 0.03% chance of driver death (2.7% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Acura TLX has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0303% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 3.4656%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0303% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 3.4656% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Acura TLX is 35% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2023 Acura TLX is 40% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features with Acura's AcuraWatch can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. An active safety system that is standard on the 2023 Acura TLX is Collision Mitigation Braking System. There are optional safety features on the 2023 Acura TLX which may add to the cost but should be strongly considered --- Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Assist.

    Another vehicle feature may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances. Standard side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    But it is about as safe as many comparable models.
