2-Line Blurb

The 2014 Acura TL is a mid-size luxury sedan with a smart balance between performance and comfort. Well-regarded for its reliability record, the TL offers peace of mind along with its premium quality, all at a tempting price. The Acura&#8217;s performance is respectable, especially for all-wheel-drive versions, but the front-wheel-drive layout on others may dissuade some driving enthusiasts.

140-Character Blurb

The Acura TL luxury sedan brings a lot to the table for its price, but performance-wise still tends to get overshadowed by sportier rivals.

Cons

Even with its slick all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, we found the Acura TL not quite as engaging to drive vigorously as rear-wheel-drive competitors such as the BMW 5 Series or Infiniti M. Also unlike the TL, those sedans can be had with a mighty – but costly – V8 engine.

Driving Impressions

The Acura TL marries the size of a BMW 5 Series with the lower price of the new Infiniti Q50 Sedan, but isn&#8217;t as performance-oriented as either. A front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout and synthetic steering feel make the TL neither as engaging for errands around town nor as capable at its limits on twisty byways as its rear-drive rivals. On the other hand, the Acura TL feels much livelier than the soft-tuned Lexus ES, so drivers desiring a happy medium may just find it here. Those seeking the most thrills in their TL should opt for one with SH-AWD in its name. That alphabet soup is short for Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, and the system is just that. With power divided among all four wheels, SH-AWD Acura TL models boost confidence while cornering and in inclement weather. Those models are also blessed with a more powerful V6 engine and sportier suspension.

Exterior

If you haven&#8217;t looked closely at an Acura TL in a couple of years, you may be relieved to know that its front and rear have been tamed, thanks to modifications implemented for the 2012 model year. Even with the tweaks, the Acura stands out with its beak-like grille, wide cutouts in the front bumper housing, and sharply snubbed rear end. Like other potentially controversial designs, we&#8217;ll leave it to your eyes to judge the TL&#8217;s outer appeal. On the non-subjective front, 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels are fitted on base models, with higher trims equipped with 18- or 19-inch versions.

FAQs

Favorite Features

6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION The Acura TL’s 6-speed transmission is a major contributor to the car’s good fuel economy. More gears also equal more fun as the transmission is able to keep the engine in its sweet spot during spirited driving. As a bonus, the revised gearing results in lower engine rpm while cruising, resulting in lower cabin noise.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM We like all the features that come with the Advance Package, but if we had to choose one thing, it would be the blind-spot information system. These indicators tell the driver if there is a car in the blind spot, which is a handy reassurance when changing lanes.

Interior

The 2014 Acura TL&#8217;s 5-passenger cabin is luxuriously sporty. The heated front seats are comfortable and well-padded, and SH-AWD models feature more aggressive side bolsters to keep you in place. Even at its appealing price point, a leather interior is standard. Less appealing is the TL&#8217;s center stack, crowded with buttons for climate control, audio, and navigation functions. Rear-seat legroom is adequate, and trunk cargo space is on the small side at just over 13 cubic feet in front-wheel-drive (FWD) models and 12.5 for SH-AWD versions. The rear seats don&#8217;t fold for additional cargo hauling, but a center pass-through space can accommodate items such as skis.

KBB Editors' Overview

The 2014 TL is Acura&#8217;s entry in the mid-size luxury sedan segment, where it competes with vehicles such as the BMW 5 Series, Infiniti M, Audi A6 and Cadillac CTS. Compared to most of its rivals, the TL has a much lower starting price but more polarizing exterior design. Acura enthusiasts have grown to either like the TL&#8217;s skin or see the beauty beneath it, where lies a strong V6 engine and an available all-wheel-drive system that offers excellent grip. The Acura TL has a strong reliability record and a good dose of performance with its premium ride quality, but with no rear-drive model in the lineup, driving purists my overlook the Acura in favor of a BMW, Infiniti or Cadillac.

Optional Equipment

With eight trims available, most options for the 2014 Acura TL are bundled into a particular level. That leaves most traditional options relegated to interior and exterior accessories. Among the former are &quot;wood-grain-look&quot; shift knob and trunk drawer, while the latter include underbody spoilers, special 18- or 19-inch wheels and backup sensors. A remote engine start system is also available.

Pricing - Dynamic

The 2014 Acura TL has a Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting right under $37,000. The higher-power SH-AWD models begin just shy of $40,500, and a top-line model slots in well under $47,000. At these prices, the Acura TL represents a bargain among mid-size luxury sedans. A base BMW 5 Series with a 4-cylinder engine, for example, starts around $50,000, while an Infiniti M and Cadillac CTS are just under that. More in line with the TL&#8217;s pricing are the Lexus ES, the Lincoln MKZ, or the smaller Infiniti Q50 sedan. Before buying, be sure to check the KBB.com Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their Acura TL. In terms of resale value, we expect the TL to be on par with its European competitors but still trail that of the Lexus ES.

Pricing - Static

Pros

In a segment where most prices start in the mid- to high-$40,000 range, the 2014 Acura TL&#8217;s sub-$37,000 starting price looks like a bargain. Also appealing are its strong safety ratings and fuel economy of up to 29 mpg.

Quick New

No major changes have been made to the Acura TL for the 2014 model year. The mid-level Special Edition model that was introduced in mid-2013 remains as a high-value trim option.

Safety

Standard Equipment

The 2014 Acura TL comes well equipped right out of the box. Spend the least on a base model, and you&#8217;ll get a leather interior, power front seats with 2-stage heating, dual-zone climate control, power moonroof, xenon headlights and 8-speaker AM/FM/CD/USB audio system with Bluetooth streaming. All-wheel-drive models add a higher-power engine and larger wheels. Models with the Technology package add a 10-speaker premium sound system with hard drive, navigation, keyless access, rearview camera and a GPS-linked climate-control system. The top-line Advance Package further stuffs the TL with ventilated front seats and blind-spot monitoring.

Trims

Under the Hood

Two V6 engines are available for the 2014 Acura TL. Front-wheel-drive models use a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter, while all-wheel-drive versions employ a 305-horsepower 3.7-liter. Most buyers will opt for Acura&#8217;s smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission that is eager to kick down and also features paddle shifters for those rare times you want to imitate Mario Andretti. The most engaging (but least fuel-efficient) TL is the 6-speed manual-transmission model, only available on AWD models. The 2014 Acura TL returns up to 29 mpg, respectable given its power. All models require premium-grade gasoline.
3.5-liter V6 280 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm 254 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/29 mpg
3.7-liter V6 305 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm 273 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/25 mpg (manual), 18/26 mpg (automatic)

2014 Acura TL Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

Kelley Blue Book

https://www.kbb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/KBBLogoRefresh-1.svg

In the 2013 TL, Acura has created a luxury performance sedan that has a lust for the road and an aversion to repair shops. Known for its excellent reliability and longevity, the TL offers as much peace of mind as it does driving excitement. However, the TL&#8217;s front-wheel-drive layout isn&#8217;t likely to lure many hardcore driving enthusiasts.

The Acura TL is a luxury performance sedan that has a lust for the road and an aversion to repair shops.

Even with its Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, we found that the Acura TL still isn&#8217;t as engaging as rear-drive cars like the Infiniti M or BMW 5 Series.

The Acura TL marries the size of a BMW 5 Series with the lower price of an Infiniti G37 Sedan, but doesn&#8217;t capture the performance feel of either. Front-wheel drive (FWD) and synthetic steering feel combine in a car that&#8217;s neither as engaging around town nor as capable at the limits compared to some of its more storied rear-wheel-drive competitors. On the flip side, the Acura TL is about 100 times more fun than the soft-tuned Lexus ES 350 with which it also sort of competes. Stepping up to the SH-AWD version nets more horsepower, a sportier suspension and Acura&#8217;s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system that directs more energy to the outside rear wheel while cornering. You have to push the TL pretty hard before you can feel SH-AWD working, but that&#8217;s exactly when you need it. Otherwise, around town and on the highway the TL behaves like most other performance-oriented mid-size sedans.

The Acura TL&#8217;s unique appearance includes a beak-like grille surround with a large chrome plate on the upper portion. Other features of note include darkened headlights, narrow side turn signals and recessed fog lights. Out back the TL&#8217;s bumper includes a relocated license-plate frame that sits higher, making way for a rear diffuser.

6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION? The Acura TL&#8217;s 6-speed transmission is a major contributor to the car&#8217;s good fuel economy. More gears also equal more fun as the transmission is able to keep the engine in its sweet spot during spirited driving. As a bonus, the revised gearing results in lower engine rpm while cruising, resulting in lower cabin noise.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM? We like everything that comes with the Advance Package, but if we had to choose one thing, it would be the blind-spot information system. These indicators tell the driver if there is a car in the blind spot, which is a handy reassurance when changing lanes.

We find the 2013 Acura TL&#8217;s interior luxuriously sporty. Platinum-plated trim pieces on the dash, center console and doorsills are a nice touch, but what we like most are the excellent sport front seats. In addition to being heated, the front seats are now ventilated (Advance Package only), and the overall interior noise level has been reduced by 2.7 decibels thanks to an increased amount of body sealing points.

Despite a subtle reshaping last year, the 2013 Acura TL retains its rather distinct, some might even say polarizing, exterior. For Acura purists, however, it&#8217;s what&#8217;s underneath the skin that counts. Acura is masterful at packing a lot of content into its cars, helping a fully loaded model stay thousands less than a comparable BMW or Audi. Less money doesn&#8217;t mean less performance, with the 2013 TL offering Acura&#8217;s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) mated to a 300-plus-horsepower V6 engine. Acura hopes the freshened TL will lure even more buyers from varied temptresses like the BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and Infiniti M. But, with no rear drive model in the lineup, driving purists probably won&#8217;t be rushing to make the switch.

The 2013 Acura TL is available with two option packages: the Technology Package and the Advance Package. The Technology Package includes a hard-drive-based navigation system with AcuraLink traffic and weather updates, 440-watt surround-sound system, Milano premium leather seating surfaces and the keyless access system. The Advance Package comes with a Blind Spot Information (BSI) system, ventilated (cooling) front seats and plus-one wheel sizes (equals 18-inch wheels for the base, 19-inch wheels for the SH-AWD trim).

The 2013 Acura TL has a Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting right around $37,000 for the base trim, while the SH-AWD trim level starts at about $40,500. Adding the Technology Package to either trim costs about $3,800, and adding the Advance Package means about $2,200 more. A fully loaded TL tops right around $46,500, which is thousands less than a loaded BMW 5 Series and Infiniti M, but on par with a similarly equipped Lexus ES. Check the Fair Purchase Price on KBB.com to see what others are paying for the Acura TL in your area. As for resale value, we expect the Acura TL to hold residuals on par with its competitors from BMW, Lexus and Infiniti.

The TL comes very well equipped and even fully loaded its price tag remains a bargain. The TL&#8217;s excellent repair and reliability ratings promise a low cost of ownership even after the warranty expires.

There are no major changes to the Acura TL for 2013.

The 2013 TL comes well equipped right out of the box, which can&#8217;t be said for many of its competitors. Some of the most notable features include heated leather seats, a power moonroof, 276-watt audio system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a 10-way power driver&#8217;s seat and 17-inch alloy wheels. In addition to all-wheel drive and more horsepower, the TL SH-AWD trim adds to the list by offering additional seat bolstering for a sportier feel and French stitching on the steering wheel, seats, shift lever and parking brake.

Engine choices available for the 2013 Acura TL include a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter or a 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6. A Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic is available on both trims, but the 6-speed manual transmission is exclusive to the SH-AWD trim level. The 6-speed automatic features a &quot;double-kick-down&quot; feature that lets the driver downshift twice (from 5th to 3rd gear, for example) to aid performance in spirited driving situations. The 6-speed automatic also improves the city/highway fuel economy of the 3.5-liter versions by 2-3 miles per gallon, respectively. When matched with the 3.7-liter engine the new transmission ups fuel economy by 1 mpg city and highway.
3.5-liter V6? 280 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm? 254 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm? EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/29 mpg
3.7-liter V6 305 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm 273 lb-ft of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/25 mpg (manual), 18/26 mpg (automatic)

2013 Acura TL Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

From a performance driving perspective, the 2011 TL doesn&#8217;t offer as much pure fun as some of its competitors despite the addition of Acura&#8217;s sophisticated SH-AWD system.

With two powerful engine choices, the 2011 Acura TL is poised to stake its claim in the affordable performance sedan segment. The SH-AWD model&#8217;s 305-horsepower V6 – the most powerful engine ever offered by Acura – delivers smooth acceleration, and the five-speed automatic transmission promises quick, nearly seamless shifts, regardless of whether the gearbox is set to regular drive mode or being manipulated with the paddle shifters. Competitors offer more torque for better response when the traffic light turns green, but the TL&#8217;s available all-wheel-drive system helps level the playing field. The SH-AWD can push more power to the outside rear wheel in a corner, transforming the TL into a fun family sedan on winding back roads. On the flip side, the SH-AWD version carries with it a ride that&#8217;s stiffer than that of the base TL.

New from the ground up in 2009, the 2011 Acura TL is longer, wider and taller than any TL model before it and projects a bold, almost concept car-like persona. Most notable is the large &quot;grinning smile&quot; grille, and body panels featuring accentuated contours and curves setting it far apart from most other sedans in this category. Base TL models ride on 17-inch alloy wheels; the TL SH-AWD rolls on 18- or 19-inch alloys, and it has cooling ducts on the front bumper, four tailpipes instead of two and unique badges that say, not surprisingly, SH-AWD.

SH-AWD All-wheel-drive capability has been available on other Acura models for years, and now it&#8217;s available on the popular TL. Dubbed SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive), the system improves handling in inclement weather while also enhancing cornering ability on dry pavement, and is available only with the TL&#8217;s 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6.
Technology Package Even in standard guise, the 2011 Acura TL is well-equipped, but the Technology Package ups the game with its DVD-Audio system and 440-watts of surround sound. At the heart of the package is AcuraLink, a satellite system that provides real-time weather and traffic information with a convenient rerouting feature.

Those already impressed by previous Acura interior treatments just might become ecstatic once they get a look inside the 2011 TL. There&#8217;s more rear leg room than ever before, and SH-AWD versions feature deeply-bolstered seats and a thick, leather-wrapped steering wheel. The driver&#8217;s seat in the base TL could use a bit more support for long drives, but there&#8217;s no need for improvement when it comes to the cabin&#8217;s quality materials. The Technology Package, with its real-time traffic and weather information, is a handy if pricey addition for busy urban-dwelling commuters. Oddly, Acura still does not provide the passenger with any form of adjustable lumbar support (the driver gets a power-operated unit), a strange omission at this price point.

If you placed the current Acura TL next to the first generation TL, you&#8217;d be hard pressed to equate the two as related. Why, you ask? Because the current TL exudes substantially more attitude than its predecessor, that&#8217;s why. Gone is the attractive yet sedate styling of previous design, replaced by a bolder sedan wearing a love-it-or-hate-it grille that is now the face of Acura. In addition to six more inches of body length, the latest TL also features more powerful engine choices, an available sport-tuned SH-AWD (Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive) variant, and a Technology Package that can blow out eardrums as easily as it guides drivers away from stressful traffic congestion. Though not as engaging as competitors such as the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G37, the Acura TL continues to impress with its reasonable price, quality feel and all-around abilities.

For 2011, the TL lineup is available with one major option, the Technology Package. In exchange for roughly $3,700, buyers will enjoy a 440-watt Acura/ELS surround sound system with DVD-Audio and a 12.7-gigabyte hard drive, keyless ignition, and a rearview camera. More impressive is the voice-activated navigation system, complete with an eight-inch high-resolution screen, real-time traffic information and rerouting guidance, and weather reports including Doppler-style radar maps just like you&#8217;d see during the six o&#8217;clock news. Go with the TL SH-AWD for a sport-tuned chassis, 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels (as opposed to the TL&#8217;s 17s), and available high-performance tires.

One of the Acura TL&#8217;s selling points has long been its reasonable price, a distinction that holds true for 2011. The base, front-wheel-drive model&#8217;s Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starts at about $36,000, whereas a top-of-the-line, fully-loaded TL SH-AWD goes for about $44,000. That makes the 2011 Acura TL a relative bargain, and as such, buyers are typically paying full sticker price. However, like all things in life, prices change, so check the Fair Purchase Price on kbb.com before signing on the dotted line. In all likelihood, your dealer won&#8217;t lop thousands off the bottom line, but take solace in the knowledge that the Acura TL&#8217;s resale value is on par with vehicles such as the BMW 3 Series and Lexus ES 350 luxury sedan, and bests the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CTS and Audi A4.

The daring TL continues to be a bargain when compared to pricier models from BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Lexus and others. There&#8217;s a bit more room for rear passengers, and the larger engine and all-wheel-drive make the new SH-AWD version very entertaining on twisty roads, as well as supremely confident on slick surfaces.

The Acura TL sees no major changes for 2011.

Unlike many of its competitors, the 2011 Acura TL comes with most of today&#8217;s must-have features as standard equipment. Those include HID headlights, power moonroof, 276-watt sound system with auxiliary and USB input jacks, hands-free telephone interface, power/heated front seats and mirrors, and leather upholstery. SH-AWD models add sport seats with more robust bolsters and contrast stitching and all TLs protect occupants with six airbags and Acura&#8217;s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) front body structure, technology designed to dissipate crash energy.

With a 3.5-liter V6 now under its hood, the base 2011 Acura TL is nearly as powerful as the 2008 TL Type-S. For those not satisfied with that kind of performance, the TL SH-AWD delivers a new 3.7-liter V6 as well as sport-tuned steering, brakes, and suspension systems. There are two transmissions offered – a five-speed automatic with a manual-shift mode and paddle shifters, or a newly designed close-ratio six-speed manual with Hill Start Assist. Fuel economy figures are comparable with the TL&#8217;s primary competitors.
3.5-liter V6 280 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 254 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26
3.7-liter V6 305 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 273 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/25 (automatic), 17/25 (manual)

2011 Acura TL Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

Though aspects of its exterior styling remain polarizing, what&#8217;s hard to argue with about the Acura TL is its value proposition among midsize luxury sedans. Of particular note are tech options like a GPS-enhanced climate system that monitors the sun and the availability of Acura&#8217;s superb all-wheel-drive system.

Even with its Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, we found that the Acura TL still isn’t as engaging rear-drive cars like the Infiniti M or BMW 5 Series.

The 2012 Acura TL marries the size of a BMW 5 Series with the lower price of an Infiniti G37 Sedan, but doesn’t capture the performance feel of either. Front-wheel drive and synthetic steering feel combine in a car that’s neither as engaging around town nor as capable at the limits compared to some of its more storied rear-wheel drive competitors. On the flip side, the Acura TL is about 100 times more fun than the soft-tuned Lexus ES 350 with which it also sort of competes. Stepping up to the SH-AWD version nets more horsepower, a sportier suspension and Acura’s Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system that directs more energy to the outside rear wheel while cornering. You have to push the TL pretty hard before you can feel SH-AWD working, but that’s exactly when you need it. Otherwise, around town and on the highway the 2012 Acura TL behaves like most other performance-oriented mid-size sedans.

At first glance the 2012 Acura TL looks largely the same as the 2011 edition, but a closer inspection reveals the changes. The front and rear overhangs have been shortened by an inch. Up front, the grille surround has been shaved down and the upper portion of it smoothed out, addressing the exterior’s most obvious pain point. Other new additions include darkened headlights, new turn signals and a new fog light design. Out back is a new rear bumper, which includes a relocated license plate frame that sits higher making way for a rear diffuser. The taillights received a color change and the trunk trim is thinner, which we think gives the car a more sophisticated look.

Six-speed Automatic Transmission The new six-speed transmission is the sole contributor to the overall increase in fuel economy. More gears also equal more fun as the transmission is able to keep the engine in its sweet spot during spirited driving. As a bonus, the revised gearing results in lower engine rpm while cruising, resulting in lower cabin noise. 
Blind Spot Information System We like everything that comes with the Advance Package, but if we had to choose one thing, it would be the blind spot information system. These indicators tell the driver if there is a car in the blind spot, which is a handy reassurance when changing lanes.

We find the 2012 Acura TL&#8217;s interior luxuriously sporty. And for the new model year, it&#8217;s even more luxurious as new platinum-plated trim pieces on the dash, center console and door sills have been thrown in to update the look. In addition to being heated, the front seats are now ventilated (Advance Package only) and the overall interior noise level has been reduced by 2.7 decibels thanks to an increased amount of body-sealing points.

When the current-generation Acura TL bowed in the 2009 model year, its bold aesthetics garnered mixed feelings from car reviewers and the buying public alike. Some liked the sharp angles, while detractors were particularly critical of the large beak-like front grille. For the 2012 model year Acura has softened the TL’s face and made a few other exterior refinements. With a mild facelift and improved fuel economy, Acura hopes the freshened TL will lure even more buyers from varied temptresses like the BMW 5 Series, Infiniti M and Lexus ES.

The Acura TL is available with two option packages: The Technology Package and the new-for-2012 Advance Package. The Technology Package includes a hard drive-base navigation system with Acuralink traffic and weather updates, 440-watt surround sound system, Milano premium leather seating surfaces and keyless access system. The Advance Package comes with a Blind Spot Information (BSI) system, ventilated (cooling) front seats and plus-one wheel sizes (equals 18-inch wheels for the base, 19-inch wheels for the SH-AWD trim).

The 2012 Acura TL has a Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just over $36,000 for the base trim, while the SH-AWD trim level starts at about $40,000. Adding the Technology Package to either trim bumps up the price about $4,000, and adding the Advance Package adds about $1,000 more. A fully loaded TL tops out just under $46,000, which is thousands less than a loaded BMW 5 Series and Infiniti M, but on par with a similarly equipped Lexus ES. As for resale value, we expect the Acura TL to hold residuals on par with its competitors from BMW, Lexus and Infiniti.

Compared to competitors from BMW, Infiniti and Lexus, the Acura TL is a bargain; offering a lot of technology, performance and luxury for less than the rest.

The 2012 Acura TL upgrade is a little show, a little go. Underneath the exterior changes the TL sports a new six-speed automatic transmission that delivers more miles per gallon. The TL is still available in base and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive trim levels, and a new Advance Package has been added to the option list.

The 2012 Acura TL comes well equipped right out of the box, which can&#8217;t be said for many of its competitors. Some of the most notable features include heated leather seats, a power moonroof, 276-watt audio system with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a 10-way power driver&#8217;s seat and 17-inch alloy wheels. In addition to all-wheel drive and more horsepower, the TL SH-AWD trim adds to the list by offering additional seat bolstering for a sportier feel and French stitching on the steering wheel, seats, shift lever and parking brake.

Engine choices available for the 2012 Acura TL include a 280-horsepower 3.5-liter or a 305-horsepower 3.7-liter V6. A new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic is available on both trims, but the six-speed manual transmission is exclusive to the SH-AWD trim level. The six-speed automatic features a &quot;double-kick-down&quot; feature that lets the driver down shift twice (from fifth to third gear, for example) to aid performance in spirited driving situations. The six-speed auto also improves the city/highway fuel economy of 3.5-liter versions by 2/3 miles per gallon, respectively. When matched with the 3.7-liter engine the new transmission ups fuel economy by one mpg city and highway.
3.5-liter V6 280 horsepower @ 6,200 rpm 254 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/29 
3.7-liter V6 305 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm 273 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5,000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/25 (manual), 18/26 (automatic)

2012 Acura TL Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

From a performance driving perspective, the 2010 TL doesn&#8217;t offer as much pure fun as some of its competitors despite the addition of Acura&#8217;s sophisticated SH-AWD system.

With two powerful engine choices, the 2010 Acura TL is poised to stake its claim in the affordable performance sedan segment. The SH-AWD model&#8217;s 305-horsepower V6 – the most powerful engine ever offered by Acura – delivers smooth acceleration, and the five-speed automatic transmission promises quick, nearly seamless shifts, regardless of whether the gearbox is set to regular drive mode or being manipulated with the paddle shifters. Competitors offer more torque for better response when the traffic light turns green, but the TL&#8217;s available all-wheel-drive system helps level the playing field. The SH-AWD can push more power to the outside rear wheel in a corner, transforming the TL into a fun family sedan on winding back roads. On the flip side, the SH-AWD version carries with it a ride that&#8217;s stiffer than that of the base TL.

Fresh from a complete redesigned in 2009, the 2010 Acura TL is longer, wider and taller than the previous models and offers a much bolder appearance. Most notable is the large grille, and body panels featuring accentuated contours and curves setting it far apart from most other sedans in this category. Base TL models ride on 17-inch alloy wheels; the TL SH-AWD rolls on 18- or 19-inch alloys, and it has cooling ducts on the front bumper, four tailpipes instead of two and unique badges that say, not surprisingly, SH-AWD.

SH-AWD All-wheel-drive capability has been available on other Acura models for years, and now it&#8217;s available on the popular TL. Dubbed SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive), the system improves handling in inclement weather while also enhancing cornering ability on dry pavement, and is available only with the TL&#8217;s 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V6.
Technology Package Even in standard guise, the 2010 Acura TL is well-equipped, but the Technology Package ups the game with its DVD-Audio system and 440-watts of surround sound. At the heart of the package is AcuraLink, a satellite system that provides real-time weather and traffic information with a convenient rerouting feature.

Those already impressed by previous TL interior treatments just might become ecstatic with the 2010 model. There&#8217;s more rear leg room than ever before, and SH-AWD versions feature deeply-bolstered seats and a thick, leather-wrapped steering wheel. The driver&#8217;s seat in the base TL could use a bit more support for long drives, but there&#8217;s no need for improvement when it comes to the cabin&#8217;s quality materials. The Technology Package, with its real-time traffic and weather information, is a handy if pricey addition for busy urban-dwelling commuters. Oddly, Acura still does not provide the passenger with any form of adjustable lumbar support (the driver gets a power-operated unit), a strange omission at this price point.

Last year&#8217;s redesign gave the rather stoic Acura TL a fresh look that included substantially more attitude than its predecessor. Gone is the attractive yet sedate styling of previous TLs, replaced by a bolder sedan wearing a love-it-or-hate-it grille borrowed from other recent Acura models. In addition to six more inches of body length, the latest TL also features more powerful engine choices, an available sport-tuned SH-AWD (Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive) variant, and a Technology Package that can blow out eardrums as easily as it guides drivers away from stressful traffic congestion. Though not as engaging as competitors such as the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G37, the Acura TL continues to impress with its reasonable price, quality feel and all-around abilities.

For 2010, the TL lineup is available with one major option, the Technology Package. In exchange for roughly $3,700, buyers will enjoy a 440-watt Acura/ELS surround sound system with DVD-Audio and a 12.7-gigabyte hard drive, keyless ignition, and a rearview camera. More impressive is the voice-activated navigation system, complete with an eight-inch high-resolution screen, real-time traffic information and rerouting guidance, and weather reports including Doppler-style radar maps just like you&#8217;d see during the six o&#8217;clock news. Go with the TL SH-AWD for a sport-tuned chassis, 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels (as opposed to the TL&#8217;s 17s), and available high-performance tires.

One of the Acura TL&#8217;s selling points has long been its reasonable price, a distinction that holds true for 2010. The base, front-wheel-drive model&#8217;s Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starts at about $36,000, whereas a top-of-the-line, fully-loaded TL SH-AWD goes for about $44,000. That makes the 2010 Acura TL a relative bargain, and as such, buyers are typically paying full sticker price. However, like all things in life, prices change, so check the Fair Purchase Prices before signing on the dotted line. In all likelihood, your dealer won&#8217;t lop thousands off the bottom line, but take solace in the knowledge that the Acura TL&#8217;s resale value is on par with vehicles such as the BMW 3 Series and Lexus ES 350 luxury sedan, and bests the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Cadillac CTS and Audi A4.

In a nod to enthusiast drivers, Acura offers a new six-speed manual transmission on all-wheel-drive models only. Manual models also receive retuned front coils and dampeners, stiffer engine and transmission mounts, unique electric power steering tuning, and heavy-duty front differential, CV joints and driveshafts.

Unlike many of its competitors, the 2010 Acura TL comes with most of today&#8217;s must-have features as standard equipment. Those include HID headlights, power moonroof, 276-watt sound system with auxiliary and USB input jacks, hands-free telephone interface, power/heated front seats and mirrors, and leather upholstery. SH-AWD models add sport seats with more robust bolsters and contrast stitching and all TLs protect occupants with six airbags and Acura&#8217;s Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) front body structure, technology designed to dissipate crash energy.

With a 3.5-liter V6 now under its hood, the base 2010 Acura TL is nearly as powerful as the 2008 TL Type-S. For those not satisfied with that kind of performance, the TL SH-AWD delivers a new 3.7-liter V6 as well as sport-tuned steering, brakes, and suspension systems. There are now two transmissions offered – a five-speed automatic with a manual-shift mode and paddle shifters, or a new close-ratio six-speed manual with Hill Start Assist. Fuel economy figures are comparable with the TL&#8217;s primary competitors.
3.5-liter V6 280 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 254 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26
3.7-liter V6 305 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 273 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/25 (automatic), 17/25 (manual)

The all-new 2009 Acura TL rolls off its Marysville, Ohio, assembly line with a fresh look that includes substantially more attitude than its predecessor.

Though its appearance has changed, the TL continues to be a bargain when compared to pricier models from BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Lexus and others. There&#8217;s a bit more room for rear passengers, and the larger engine and all-wheel-drive make the new SH-AWD version very entertaining on twisty roads.

There&#8217;s more sport in the 2009 Acura TL thanks to an available 305-horsepower V6, a performance-oriented all-wheel-drive system, and an automatic transmission with paddle shifters. A redesigned chassis provides a safer and quieter ride, while new interior features take some of the sting out of long drives.

2009 Acura TL Expert Review - Kelley Blue Book

While the TL&#8217;s front-wheel-drive architecture is an advantage for some&#8212;especially those in wetter climates&#8212;other enthusiast buyers might prefer the driving dynamics associated with rear-wheel drive.

One of the great beauties of the TL lineup is that, 95 percent of the time, the Type-S is just as comfortable as the base model and the base model is just as much fun as the Type-S. Still, when the road starts to get curvy and your right foot gets heavy, the quicker, grippier, more responsive Type-S easily earns its price premium. The five-speed automatic has been enhanced for the Type-S&#8212;which also gets steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters&#8212;to deliver smoother, rev-matching downshifts and quicker, crisper upshifts, while the six-speed manual is as tight and precise as you&#8217;d expect in an all-out sports car. With the six-speed manual transmission there is some torque steer (pulling on the steering) under hard acceleration in the lower gears. The TL has a pleasant around-town demeanor and reactive but comfortable highway manner.

Though the 2008 TL is essentially unchanged from its 2007 predecessor, the bold sedan, designed in California, can be confused with no other in the segment. That&#8217;s thanks partially to its prominent grille and aggressive front and rear lower fascias. The more assertive Type-S is distinguished by a collection of darker trim elements, including black chrome grille and lamp treatments, plus wider side sills, a rear spoiler, dual circular exhaust outlets, dark 17-inch wheels and Type-S badges.

Comprehensive Navigation System The TL&#8217;s voice-activated navigation system provides real-time traffic info, Zagat restaurant reviews and includes a rearview camera. It even allows you to upload your entire personal phonebook into the Bluetooth hands-free phone system in one step.
Enhanced DVD-Audio System The TL&#8217;s impressive eight-speaker, 225-watt DVD-Audio Surround Sound system features DTS and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, plus a six-disc CD changer that plays WMA and MP3 files. There&#8217;s also an auxiliary input for portable MP3 players and such.

The TL&#8217;s interior remains one of the roomiest, most comfortable cabins in the category (especially for rear-seat passengers). The DVD-Audio Surround Sound system provides a sublime listening experience, and an updated voice-activated navigation system provides real-time traffic information and includes an integrated rear-view camera. Type-S models have sportier seats with contrasting stitching, stainless-steel pedals, red (not blue) instrument illumination, dark aluminum and carbon fiber trim and an active noise canceling system that generates sound waves to counteract the bigger engine&#8217;s additional noise at cruising speeds.

Acura&#8217;s answer to premium performance sedans like the BMW 3 Series, Infiniti G35, Audi A4 and Lexus IS is the TL, the only car in that category offered exclusively with front-wheel drive. While rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles can enjoy some performance advantages, the TL explores the limit of what is possible with front-wheel drive and a torquey V6. The TL is also comfortable, roomy and packed with a sophisticated lineup of standard equipment. It returns up to 27 miles per gallon on the highway and is priced considerably below its competitors. In 2007, enthusiasts celebrated the return of a TL Type-S, with more power, a stiffer suspension and distinctive styling touches.

A navigation system is the only option available on the base 2008 Acura TL. The step up to the Type-S includes navigation, a host of performance-oriented hardware and cosmetic upgrades, a choice of a more responsive five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission and the availability of high-performance tires.

The 2008 Acura TL starts at a Manufacturer&#8217;s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of just over $34,000 and tops out at around $39,000 for a Type-S with high-performance tires. The navigation system is a $2,500 option, while the Type-S works out to a $2,000 premium. In light of the recent improvements and the car&#8217;s general desirability, we expect our Fair Purchase Prices to reflect real-world transaction prices close to MSRP. Compare pricing and equipment with that of the BMW 3 Series, Lexus IS, Infiniti G35 and Audi A4, and you might consider the TL one of the best values on the road. We expect the TL&#8217;s resale values to perform comparably to the 3 Series, G35 and IS and better than the A4.

Fast, fun, comfortable and convenient, the TL is arguably the category&#8217;s most well-rounded entry and almost certainly its best value.

In 2008, the TL is offered in two new paint colors, Polished Metal Metallic and Bold Beige Metallic.

Except for the navigation system, a base Acura TL is fully loaded with an impressive DVD-Audio Surround Sound system, power moonroof, HID headlamps, leather seating, power/heated front seats, Bluetooth hands-free phone integration, steering wheel-mounted controls and six airbags.

While the base TL has the excellent 3.2-liter engine and a slightly softer suspension, the Type-S gets a 3.5-liter version that delivers outstanding performance with almost no loss of fuel economy. The Type-S also gets a stiffer suspension, Brembo brakes, a more aggressive exhaust note and is the only model available with a manual transmission (which includes a limited-slip differential) and high-performance tires. 
3.2-liter V6 258 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 233 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26
3.5-liter V6 286 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 256 lb.-ft. of torque @ 5000 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27 (manual), 17/26 (automatic)
