The fourth-generation Acura TL has already set a benchmark in performance luxury sedans with its athletic and emotional styling, powerful engine performance and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®). Following a from-the-wheels-up redesign in 2009, upgrades included a unit-body construction made from high-strength steel and aluminum components, unique exterior styling, and two VTEC® V-6 powertrains (280-hp 3.5L and 305-hp 3.7L). In addition, Electric Power Steering (EPS) and a luxurious, tech-filled interior added to the TL's appeal. This raised the bar even further and was reflected in the TL receiving the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG®) award for best residual value of any Near Luxury vehicle in 2011, with the Acura brand taking the second place spot for best residual value for all Luxury Brands.
To continue its legacy, engineers further refined the TL for 2012 with new front and rear styling, a Sequential SportShift 6-speed automatic transmission for improved performance and fuel efficiency, a revised interior and technology upgrades. It features a redesigned front bumper with improved aerodynamics, a revised grille, updated headlights and turn signals, a new fog light design, and shorter front overhang. Moreover, the TL's new lower front fascia openings are in line with those of other popular Acura SUV models such as the ZDX, MDX and RDX. "With the 2009 TL, the exterior design was a lot about passion," said Damon Schell, Acura Project Lead Designer. "With the 2012 TL, we pushed for an increased level of sophistication."
