If you’re shopping for a luxury sport sedan with head-turning style, sharp performance, and advanced technology in Bedford Hills, NY, Acura of Bedford Hills invites you to compare two standout options: the 2025 Acura TLX and the 2025 Cadillac CT5. Both deliver premium appeal, but when it comes to overall value, driver-focused design, and performance that makes your daily drive feel special, the TLX pulls ahead in all the right ways. Let’s see how they stack up.
The 2025 Acura TLX offers a more immersive cabin experience, featuring sculpted sport seats, premium materials such as open-pore wood and aluminum, and a cockpit-style layout that places the focus on the driver. With 42.5 inches of front legroom and a smartly designed trunk, it’s as practical as it is refined. The Cadillac CT5 adopts a more traditional design, featuring a flatter dash and simpler materials on its base trims. While both offer space for five and similar cargo volume, the TLX stands out with its sportier feel, better packaging, and upscale finishes, making it more rewarding to drive every day.

The 2025 Acura TLX doesn’t just look athletic – it feels it too. The standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engine pumps out 272 horsepower with a 10-speed automatic transmission that keeps things smooth and responsive. Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®), available on higher trims, makes cornering tight and confident – especially in wet or snowy conditions around Westchester County.
The Cadillac CT5 starts with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that makes 237 horsepower. It’s decent, but doesn’t deliver the same level of thrill. You’ll need to upgrade to higher trims or the V-Series for more excitement, which can quickly raise the price.

The 2025 Acura TLX delivers a more premium and intuitive tech experience from the start. Its sharp 12.3-inch infotainment display is paired with Acura’s True Touchpad Interface™, designed for precision and ease of use – not just screen tapping. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, and the available ELS Studio® 3D audio system with 17 speakers surrounds you in concert-quality sound.
The CT5’s 33-inch touchscreen looks good on paper but relies more on a traditional layout. To match the TLX’s sound quality or tech integration, you’ll need to climb trims and spend more, making TLX the clear value win.
