Acura TL Overview

Now in its fourth generation, Acura's TL features polarizing styling but certainly brings the goods to the mid-luxury sport sedan segment at a lower base price. The front-wheel drive TL is outfitted with a 280-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, while the all-wheel drive model features a more powerful 305-hp 3.7-liter V6. Fuel economy measures 18/26 city/highway mpg for the 3.5 and 17/25 mpg for the 3.7. Both engines are paired with a five-speed SportShift automatic transmission with paddle shifters, while a 6-speed manual is optional with the larger engine.Acura's optional Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system enhances grip, stability and all-weather control and is well worth the extra cost for drivers seeking sport sedan thrills. Standard equipment includes a power moonroof, HID, heated front seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, satellite radio and HandsFreeLink wireless connectivity. A Technology Package is available on both models, including a navigation system with voice activation, keyless access, upgraded audio, premium leather and a rear decklid spoiler with integrated rearview camera.
