Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Acura TLX than in the BMW 228 Gran Coupe, due to the Acura TLX's smaller rear head- and legroom. The BMW 228 Gran Coupe will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Acura TLX.
