The 2012 Acura TL sedan debuted at the Chicago auto show on 9 Feb.
The 2012 Acura TL delivers improved performance and upgraded technology to go along with the newly redesigned exterior. Most readily apparent are the visual changes to the front and rear fasciae but there’s also a new Sequential SportShift six-speed automatic transmission for improved performance and reduced fuel consumption, and a revised interior with a host of technology upgrades.
The 2012 Acura TL will be put on sale with a refined 3.5-liter V6 engine, featuring various friction-reduction technologies, while the 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter engines have received a new air inlet system. The 2012 Acura TL will be offered with an output of 280 hp and a front-wheel-drive system and a 305 hp version equipped with the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD).
The interior gets mild enhancements that are hard to discern. But folks who opt for the Technology Package will get the brand's most advanced navigation unit, which we liked in the new ZDX and refreshed MDX. There's an Advance Package that adds blind spot monitoring and ventilated front seats.
New 17- and 18-inch wheels are featured, along with a new Advance package that bundles ventilated front seats with a new blind-spot information system.
