ACURA TL

TL PERFORMANCE

Enhanced exhilaration

For the ultimate blend of performance and power, TL models with Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD) are propelled by a 3.7-litre, VTEC V-6 engine. Not only is this the most powerful Acura engine on the road right now, but it's also one of the most advanced. But there's also an equally adrenaline-friendly 3.5-litre, VTEC V-6 engine to consider. Both engines feature Multi-Point Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) to calculate the precise air/fuel ratio for optimum power output. And both engines are forged in aluminum for lightweight efficiency, better heat dissipation and improved durability. 

Efficient horsepower and torque

When it comes to horsepower and torque, the TL rises to the occasion in ways that no other Acura can. From the 305 hp and 273 lb.-ft. of torque produced by the available 3.7-litre VTEC power plant, to the 280 hp and 254 lb.-ft. of torque offered by the 3.5-litre VTEC engine, there's plenty of power to go around. With innovative VTEC engine refinement and other power band enhancements, the broad flat-torque curve allows for virtually instant and endless acceleration. The newly standard 6-speed automatic transmission gives added performance and increased fuel efficiency, while the available 6-speed manual transmission provides heightened control .


Sport Suspension

The TL's 4-wheel independent front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspension system offers you the kind of stability and flat cornering response you might expect. The front suspension utilizes a short upper arm for maximum grip and turning compression while a high-placed lower suspension arm delivers superb vehicle control with a stiffer steering feel. The rear suspension features a precision pillow joint for enhanced handling and stability. Further handling prowess comes from the TL's oversized front and rear stabilizer bars for quick, flat cornering and a dose of exhilaration. 


Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

For performance steering at high speeds and increased manoeuvrability at lower speeds, the TL relies on an advanced speed-sensing Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system. Now, from quick hairpins and sweeping highway curves to tight city-centre agility, the TL empowers your every move. 

TL TECHNOLOGY 

High performance fidelity 

The first of its kind in a production automobile, the TL's available multi-channel ELS Surround  Premium Audio System was developed in part with Grammy Award-winning producer and sound engineer Elliot Scheiner. This 10-speaker 6-channel system delivers an astonishing 440 watts of rich audio sound power throughout the cabin. Plus, the in-dash 1-disc CD changer with DVD-Audio, Dolby  Pro Logic™ II and DTS  , with MP3 and Windows Media  Audio capabilities, allows you to enjoy your music in the format of your choice. Add to that the experience of steering wheel-mounted audio controls or available voice-activated audio control, and you've got the makings of the ultimate audio system. 

Hard disk drive (HDD) 

As much as the TL's navigation system can inform, it also likes to entertain. The system's available 12.7 GB hard disk drive (HDD) contains enough storage space for you to record and store more than 217 hours of music, the equivalent of over 2610 songs. Simply insert your CD into the system's single-disc slot and your music will be automatically uploaded into the database as it plays. And with disc and track information provided through the Gracenote^® interface, you can easily scan to your preferred music based on title, artist or genre.
