2011 Acura RDX SUV

2011 Acura MDX SUV Review

Some say the 2011 Acura RDX looks like a metal spike angry chicken. You can blame the schedule that began last year to this, but even so, the RDX has a lot to be angry. Now in its fifth year in production, this compact luxury crossover has been neglected in favor of new competitors. Perhaps this is a style (pre-and post-peak of the grid) or perhaps simply that consumers do not realize that I wanted a small luxury SUV from Audi and Mercedes began selling. Whatever the reason, however, the RDX deserves better.
 

On the one hand, the Acura RDX is one of the best compact crossovers to drive. Its four-cylinder engine with turbocharger has less power than the couple of many of its competitors, but a less robust result unladen weight of acceleration energy. In fact, the RDX is faster than all its competitors except for the Infiniti EX35 297 horsepower.

Complementing the rapid acceleration of the RDX is the "Super Handling" All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) that really makes the Acura stand out from the rest. In order to automatically dose the wheels off of the curves, corners sharper RDX and over living with a sense of competition. If your partner wants the added value of a crossover, but are not willing to give up the experience of driving a sports sedan, the RDX can be an excellent choice.

Beyond the performance and flight characteristics of RDX, a well-constructed (though visually insignificant) cottage available for the maximum power of high-tech features, like solar-sensing climate control, iPod interface and easy to use navigation system. The optional Acura / ELS Surround audio system is also one of the best in its class. Best of all, the hits register RDX downloaded at a price that undermines competition itself included in the thousands.

So as you can see, it is worth 2011 Acura RDX with newer competitors like the Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLK and Volvo XC60. All have their advantages, in particular, but the Volvo is the best option for families. Will probably benefit the most interesting designs that the luxury segment means a lot. Unfortunately, the RDX, an angry robot chicken is not only the premium graphics.
 

Body styles, trim levels and options

2011 Acura RDX is a compact five-passenger luxury crossover, available in one trim level. Standard features include 18-inch wheels, heated mirrors, Privacy Glass, automatic xenon headlights, fog lights, sunroof, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, eight-way driver and four spare seats, heated front seats, interior skin, and tilt-telescope steering wheel, Bluetooth and a seven-speaker audio system with six-CD changer, satellite, auxiliary audio jack and iPod / USB audio interface.

Technology package adds a GPS connection, and solar-sensing automatic climate control, rear camera, navigation system, real-time traffic and weather information, control the screen infotainment and voice of a 10-speaker Acura / ELS Surround audio system with DVD capability sound.

Engines and performance

2011 Acura RDX is powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Five-speed automatic transmission gearshift as standard, but choose the standard front-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive. Nicknamed the SH-AWD, which distributes power not only front and rear axles is typical, but also between the left and right wheels, ensuring optimum traction in all conditions.

When the front-wheel drive, the RDX went from zero to 60 mph 6.9 seconds test, so this is one of the fastest Acura Crossover class. The heavier the SH-AWD model would be only slightly slower. What is the fuel economy, front-wheel drive RDX has an EPA rated at 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway around 21 mpg for one and, while the SH-AWD version of the prices of 17/22/19. Both are middle class.

Security

Acura RDX comes standard with ABS (with brake assist), stability and traction control, front side airbags, curtain airbags and active front headrests in the middle. Rear view camera is optional. In tests of the brakes, front wheel drive RDX stopped 60 mph within a reasonable distance 125 meters.

RDX is not designed for the use of the new government, the staunchest 2011 Crash Test Mode The 2010 votes (which are not comparable to the new method) was a perfect five stars in frontal and side crash or impact. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the RDX a perfect score of "good" in frontal-offset and side impact crash test.
 

Interior Design and Special Features

The interior design of the RDX is a bit trivial compared to what is in the new competitors, but we still believe that most buyers will be satisfied with the environment of the RDX. The quality of materials is adequate, but it is a little hard plastic in comparison to its competitors. A storage compartment in the center of the depth between the front seats have a briefcase or laptop bag.

It is 28 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats and 60/40-split folding rear seat backrest is equipped with 61 cubic feet - in mid-pack numbers of the small luxury crossover. Audi Q5 and Mercedes GLK are more stringent, SRX or less the same, and the BMW X3 and the Volvo XC60, in particular, more spacious. Rear legroom is good, but the rear seats do not slip or slide back and forth (as opposed to the Audi Q5 and plebeian cousin of RDX, Honda CR-V).

Driving Impressions

2011 Acura RDX turbo sound is audible hissing is nice differs from the standard six-cylinder audio tracks in this segment. Turbo lag is minimal, and plenty of energy to make you question the power of relatively small numbers.

In motion, the RDX is an attempt to ride comfort - so too rough on the streets. However, the reward comes around the corner, where the RDX is so eager to play for all models in its class. It feels smaller than many other segments and has the steering wheel that has a light side, but convincing, however, accurate. With the signing of the Acura SH-AWD, the treatment of RDX has been further improved, while pulling the corners Ute 'with balance and steadiness.

2011 Acura TL Sedan

Review 2011 Acura TL Sedan

No work on the much admired that style can sell cars and overcome the obvious defects. At the same time, the design can tarnish an otherwise suspicious car appeal.

Take the 2011 Acura TL, half luxury sedan that is hard to fault. It has impressive performance results fall perfectly, a roomy interior, solid build quality and abundance of the latest technologies. Still, since it was completely redesigned two years ago, both TL sold plummeted in sales compared to the same price luxury cars. One might think that a car known for its reliability and high value would be relatively well in difficult economic times, but the current TL has failed. For most buyers, a look at his body bloated and heavy metal spout of a network will be all the necessary explanations to this decline from one generation to the next.
 

Styling is subjective, but if you can put (or enjoy) examines the TL, then you are welcome to its many positive attributes. Available in two variants, TL is therefore two types of buyers. For those interested primarily in a refined driving, a spacious interior and a part full of bells and whistles, the model is the intelligent alternative to a TL luxury sedans like the Buick LaCrosse Genesis, Hyundai and Lexus ES 350th Focused on sport TL SH-AWD, meanwhile, can take corners with sport sedans like the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series or Infiniti G37, with its high-tech Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD it).

Luxury cars and sport sedans must create an emotional attachment to their buyers, but if this feeling is negative, then these cars are unlikely to win many takers. As much as we like the Acura TL 2011 and find it a compelling value to little purpose failures, it is easy to see why buyers are not flocking to showrooms to pick up an Acura. 
 
Body styles, trim levels and options

2011 Acura TL is a mid-size luxury sedan available in the levels of TL and TL SH-AWD trim. The TL with the standard 17-inch wheels, automatic xenon headlights, fog lights, sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, heated front seats, eight-part (with driver lumbar adjustment and memory functions), leather seats, automatic dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth telephone audio connection, eight speakers and the sound of six CDs, satellite TV, iPod and auxiliary audio / USB audio interface. TL SH-AWD adds more powerful engine, four wheel drive, more aggressive suspension tuning and steering, brakes upgraded, 18-inch wheels, front seats in depth, and confirmed the contrasting seams in leather.

This package can also be increased by 18-inch wheels on the base TL or 19-inch wheels on the SH-AWD.

Engines and performance

The base model 2011 Acura TL is front wheel drive and is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 280 horsepower and 254 lb.-ft. of torque. A five-speed automatic transmission is standard. In performance tests TL base grew from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds - on par with most luxury sedans in the model. Fuel economy is EPA-estimated 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined.

TL SH-AWD model, the Super Handling All-Wheel-Drive Acura system, which is transferred to a different power to individual wheels to maximize traction and cornering grip, and weather. It 'also available 3.7-liter V6 good for 305 hp and 273 Nm of torque. Five-speed automatic is standard, but a six-speed manual is optional and includes Hill Start Assist. When the automatic, the TL SH-AWD will go from zero to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, and the hand, making it 5.6 seconds. EPA estimated fuel economy is either the transfer of 17/25/20.

Security

Every 2011 Acura TL with anti-lock disc brakes, brake assist, stability control and traction, front seat side airbags, curtain airbags and the front half of the active constraints. In tests Brake, based TL stopped 60 mph in 122 feet - the middle class. TL SH-AWD has been used to upgrade the brakes to stop to save an impressive 106 feet.

The Acura TL has not been evaluated by the use of the new government, the more difficult 2011, the crash test procedure. Your grade in 2010 (which is not comparable with 2011 votes) show that the TL receives the top five stars in all categories. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the highest rating of TL of "good" in frontal crash tests and lateral displacement.
 

Interior Design and Special Features

2011 Acura TL interior features a more modern language than some of its competitors. Aluminum finish is decorated home instead of polished wood treatments can be found in the Cadillac CTS, Hyundai Genesis, Lexus ES 350 or the whole, the environment is much more austere look of the Audi. Quality of materials is top notch, with plenty of soft surfaces. Some have said that the aluminum surface must be cheap, but the modified metallic coating technology with the package is of superior quality, and is available in two shades of colors will help to put things.

What comfort, the TL's cabin is spacious and quiet, more space than the similarly priced sedans. The driver's seat offers plenty of adjustment and a half through consolidation, when the rear seats can easily be more passengers. A large flip-up headrest for comfort and protection for those seated in the back and, when not in use, rinse the slide down the back for an unobstructed view. Cargo volume is 13.1 cubic feet a little 'less than other cars in this class, but the wide opening makes loading a couple of golf bags and travel bags easy.

Driving Impressions


Because different driving characteristics of the 2011 Acura TL models, you can almost think of two different types of cars. Base TL should appeal to riders more comfort and luxury in mind. Ride quality is excellent - potholes, bumps and expansion joints were fired calming, almost Germanic splash that befits the price of a luxury car of the TL. 280-hp V6 proves to be more than enough for everyday driving, the steering, although a lack of emotion, a lot of help, so parking is easy.

For those who are more sporting intentions, the SH-AWD to live up to its "Super Handling" label by offering substantially more traction and control than the basic car. Complex all-wheel-drive system directs more power to the outside wheel during cornering to improve handling dynamics, while steering well weighted and communicative makes the driving experience safer.

And it may be interesting to watch the versions loaded Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Volkswagen CC as well.

Interior Design and Special Features

2011 Acura RL Sedan

2011 Acura RL Review Sedan

On paper, looks like the 2011 Acura RL luxury sedan as a medium highly desirable. It has a 300 hp V6, standard AWD, a long list of standard equipment, a chic interior and high-end quality construction. But when it comes to the real world desirable, get something lost in the translation of this flagship Acura.

Styling might have something to do with the lack of appeal RL. Overall, the exterior looks a little dated, and many of its rivals have fresher and more modern lines. Overall, this car is aging and needs a new face. The 2011 RL receives a few changes here and there, and at least the odd grille was a bit tame.
 

Acura RL also has replaced the previous five-speed automatic the new six-speed transmission. Fuel economy is as a result (another 2 mpg on the highway) and the acceleration would be a bit 'faster. The management is still commendable attribute of RL, the car thanks to the Advanced Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system capable of distributing torque to the wheels as well as individuals to improve grip and handling balance.

Even with these changes, 2011 RL still struggles to be anything but a bench player in the segment of luxury cars. Hyundai Genesis is fully competitive in terms of luxury, but still significantly lower rate RL. Meanwhile, more traditional (and newer) that the choice of the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Infiniti M37 and Mercedes E-class is either sports or prestige. Even Acura TL is much the same size as the RL, has a similar engine and yet it is more than $ 10,000 cheaper. With so many other cars to choose from, it's really not so surprising that RL is lost in the mix.
 

Body styles, trim levels and options

In 2011 Acura RL luxury sedan is a mid-size, available in three trim levels (the two upper trim is really just a couple of technological packages).

Penal Code contains a standard 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic xenon headlights, sunroof, keyless ignition / entry, heated front seats feature 10 pieces with driver memory, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, upholstery leather, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear climate control seats, auto-dimming mirror, power rear sunshade and manual rear side sunshades.

Also standard are Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio, voice commands for audio and climate systems and a 10-speaker Bose surround sound system with six CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary input jack and a USB audio / iPod .

The RL with Technology Package adds adaptive headlights, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, heated front seats with heating and ventilation, a wood grain wheel steering and shift knob, update Bluetooth phone connectivity, GPS related to the solar climate control and detection of a navigation system in real-time traffic, weather in real time, Zagat restaurant ratings and voice activation. The RL with Advance Package adds adaptive cruise control and brake system to mitigate collisions (CMBS), and power folding outside mirrors.

Engines and performance


Every 2010 Acura RL comes with Acura's "Super Handling" all-wheel drive system that automatically distributes power to the drive wheels and handling to react to road conditions to provide high quality car at all times.

2011 Acura RL Power is a 3.7-liter V6 that delivers 300 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque. The new six-speed automatic with manual shift controls standard. EPA estimates fuel economy mpg is 17 mpg city/24 highway and 20 mpg combined.

Security


The standard safety features for the Acura RL include antilock disc brakes with brake assist, side airbags for front seats, full-length side curtain airbags, active head restraints and stability control system. CMBS option can help prevent or minimize a collision, providing warnings to the driver or the fact of applying emergency braking if a collision seems inevitable.

The RL has not been evaluated by the use of the new government, more difficult 2011, crash test procedures. His notes from 2010 (which are not comparable with the evidence of 2011) resulted in five-star front and side safety. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the RL its top rating of "Good" in frontal crash tests and side of compensation. He has scored the second-worst rating of "marginal," however, evidence of roof strength.

In the braking test, the RL delivered lackluster 131-foot stop 60 mph. Record results from most competitors', which are 10 meters shorter.
 

Interior Design and Special Features

The 2011 Acura RL offers an attractive and well built cabin, which is comparable to most luxury sedans. The wood trim - simulated or real, depending on trim level model - the frameworks of the center console cascading style, adding heat to the interior design.

There are a few buttons and knobs in the cabin, but the voice activation system and control of the steering wheel forward for easier operation. We found the standard 10-speaker Bose audio system with a particularly notable for its clarity and effectiveness. On the downside, the navigation system of the graphics seem outdated compared to the luxury sedan competitors. Luggage space leaves little to be desired, to just below the average of 13.1 cubic meters.

Driving Impressions

Rather conservative appearance Acura RL 2011 may lead some to think that the ride quality and driving dynamics may be more like a luxury car too soft. But they were wrong. Ride quality is a balance between respect for the luxury and sporty agility. Thanks to the SH-AWD, the RL is one of the most fun to drive of choice in the segment. RL regime V6 provides smooth acceleration and a little faster this year with the new six-speed transmission.

Acura TSX has also tamed the beak, the design of gate bias before and fascia, which has undermined what is otherwise a solid car under the metal plates. The front end of the 2011 Acura TSX still looks great and techno, but exceeded its metal was considerably reduced.

Overall, the TSX offers an excellent way to drive daily, comfortable, large amount of standard equipment, plus a state-of-the-art navigation system and entertainment. In a four-cylinder under the pretext of driving experience can be a bit 'bland - the A4 and 3 Series are just more fun to drive. It might be useful to examine the downloadable versions of the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and Volkswagen CC as well. With the V6 and sports suspension and steering, however, the TSX gains more dynamic personality. In both cases, the TSX should be examined, and it is certainly one of the best luxury sedans and wagon market values.

Driving Impressions

For 2011 Acura TSX rides quietly at highway speeds, thanks to thicker glass and better insulation. The power of four-cylinder engine is adequate, but compared to other luxury cars, entry-level to leave the Toronto Stock Exchange with a bit dull to drive character. The V6 Sportwagon is more alive with its sports suspension and in the case of V6, bolder acceleration.

2011 Acura SUV ZDX

2011 Acura SUV review ZDX

First impressions suggest the 2011 Acura Zdx muscular performance and handling. Zdx is chiseled body panels and rounded corners to give a rare charm of a crossover SUV. But the form, unfortunately, comes at the expense of function, especially if you think that is basically a rebodied Zdx Acura MDX.
 

On the positive side, 2011 Acura Zdx interior features skillfully combines luxury and modernity. And 'single "Monolith", the center console that fades to black when turned off, and a rich hand-stitched leather surfaces surprisingly a lot of gifts. But it is to relieve the load and rear-seat comfort problems with the 1500-pound rating Zdx spread tow (which corresponds to the limit pound MDX 5000).

The roofline slopes ZDX most spectacular open 3 inches tall to the back seats, half a challenge even for adults to find comfort. It also removes around one third of the maximum cargo space in the MDX. Be about 5 inches shorter than the MDX, and a low center of gravity, the ZDX be blessed with better handling. But in tests, the MDX meets or exceeds the ZDX in each performance indicator.

All things considered, seems to place Zdx 2011 Acura style over substance, just as similar to the BMW X6 (though the Acura costs about $ 10,000 less than the BMW). This is an interesting idea to create a sports utility vehicle for all seasons, which is about driving, instead of pull. But we also think this is Zdx the vehicle compared to more traditional choices, such as the Acura MDX, BMW X5 or Land Rover, LR4.
 

Body styles, trim levels and options

2011 Acura Zdx is a medium-sized five-passenger crossover SUV. Standard equipment includes 19-inch wheels, automatic xenon headlights, fog lights, heated outside mirrors, a panoramic sunroof, car lighting environment, back-up rear view camera mirror, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, bi- zone automatic climate control, power tilt and telescopic steering column, heated power front seats (10-way adjustable driver seat with memory, eight-way front passenger), leather seats and interiors, onboard computer, the ' auto-dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth, and power products division. Eight speaker stereo with an in-dash six-CD changer, satellite radio and USB / auxiliary audio jack is standard.

Two major options packages Zdx. Technology Package adds keyless ignition and entry, perforated leather seats, high quality navigation system for real-time traffic and weather information, MultiView Vice-room, added a Bluetooth phone functionality with streaming audio and update Acura / ELS Surround Sound Stereo with Built-in 15GB hard drive. Advance Package includes these features, as well as an electronically adjustable suspension shock absorbers, blind spot warning system, adaptive cruise control, collision warning system and mitigation, heated and ventilated front seats and steering wheel.

Propulsion and Performance


ZDX Power 2011 is a 3.7-liter V6 that produces 300 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission with Driver Shift Control manual is the only transmission available. The EPA estimated fuel economy of 16 mpg and 19 mpg city/23 mpg highway driving combined. The ZDX maximum towing capacity is 1500 pounds disappointing.

Zdx same features as the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system found in other Acuras, which is able to move the different power to individual wheels to maximize traction and cornering grip, and weather.

In recent tests, acceleration from zero to ZDX 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, which is about one second slower than the BMW X5 and X6.

Security


Standard safety equipment for the 2011 Acura ZDX includes disc brakes with ABS with brake assist, stability control, traction control, side airbags for front seats, full-length side curtain airbags and active headrests. Choosing to advance package adds system blind spot monitoring and collision mitigation braking, along with adaptive cruise control. This system detects the likelihood of a collision and alerts the driver with visual and audible warnings. If the driver takes no action, the system activates the brakes and tightens the belt of the driver. If the system considers an unavoidable collision, the braking force increases and tightens the front seatbelts.

The Acura ZDX have not been evaluated by the new government, more grueling 2011 crash test procedures. Sine 2010 notes (which is not comparable to the test in 2011) resulted in a perfect five stars for front and side protection for all passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded its highest score ZDX "good" in offset frontal crash test.

In braking tests, the ZDX stop to 60 mph in 130 feet, a little longer than the average car of this class.
 

Interior Design and Special Features

2011 Acura Zdx cabin has a interesting, remarkable for its intriguing design and liberal use of the skin. The controls are laid out more to other Acuras, but the monolithic central console, which fades to black when you turn the machine off is a unique Zdx. There are a lot of buttons on the driver's reach, but most of the activity is very simple. Increasing technology and advanced packages, or general disorder of the central console looks, though. Hand-stitched leather is decorated with a dash pad, center console and door panels are expensive look and feel.

Front passengers are treated to comfortable seats and support, but relegated to the back will probably find shelter less hospitable. The sloping roofline reduces clearance to the point that even the average-size adults to cool off against the flag. Release is also notably lacking, exacerbated by the seat cushions fitted uncomfortably close to the ground.

The ZDX also faces short space of payload. Behind the rear seats up to 26 cubic feet to be drunk by the glass. With the seats folded flat, cargo space increased by maximum 56 blocks, away from other luxury SUV medium.

Driving Impressions


Despite the sporty, casual look, not 2011 Acura Zdx do anything better than the MDX crossover - a sporty SUV on the market - it is based. SH-AWD system offers a surprising level of grip in corners by dividing the torque to the wheels that need it most. Advance by selecting the package and its adjustable suspension may seem a glamorous update of the performance, but we did not find sufficient to justify the added advantage of (and significant) cost.

3.7-liter V6 offers a soundtrack that inspired it, but the power that produces a lack of torque at low and is less than impressive. A six-speed automatic transmission upshifts quickly and smoothly, but, but usually slow downshifts.

If there is a point of contention is that the console is flooded with buttons, but they turn out to be intuitive, once you know where everything is.

For the money, the 2011 Acura MDX makes sense. Of course, vehicles like the Buick Enclave and Ford Flex are more spacious but the Acura is definitely a high-end. The BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz ML are smaller and more expensive, the Infiniti FX is considerably lower, the Land Rover LR4 is thirsty and more expensive Lexus RX 350 and lacks a third row of seats. No doubt everyone has their own advantages, but when it comes to being sensible and desirable, the Acura MDX is unsurpassed.

Security

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the highest score of "good" in the same protection as the occupants of the vehicle in front offset and side impact crashes.

Interior Design and Special Features

Best of all, they are easy to use thanks to the use of buttons is not only, but also a multifunction button and voice commands. Basically, you can do things the way you prefer. Panasonic / ELS Surround sound system is one of the best, as is the navigation system.

The MDX is roomy enough for a row of three mid-size luxury crossover SUV. An adult can have on the third row for a short trip, but the rear seats are best suited for children. If you want space for adults, the Buick Enclave and Ford Flex are better choices. A total of 83.5 cubic feet of cargo space available with the second and third row folded, which is also above average for a midsize crossover luxury.

Driving Impressions

For a three-row SUV, the Acura MDX 2011 does a great job of acting as if it was not. On winding roads, the MDX is a partner interested in using the "Managing Super" on all wheels. There is a sense of initial torque of a wheel to the need for tight turns, cluing the driver in the magic behind the electronic curtain, but sometimes the same efficiency as the result is encouraging rather than distracting. Equipped with the Advance package, active dampers absorb shock bumps in the MDX, if necessary, and closes when the pace quickens. The MDX is truly one of the most rewarding luxury crossover to drive.

Acceleration 3.7-liter V6 is smooth until the tach needle rises in the shadow of the medium range, the motor drives with enthusiasm. MDX is a six-speed automatic transmission upshifts smoothly and quickly scaled when the throttle is prodded.

A choice of two different engines, all-aluminum VTEC ® enables the new 2009 TL to satisfy a wide range of customers. Standard is a 3.5 liter V-6 that produces 280 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque that sends power to the front wheels through sophisticated automatic sequential transmission SportShift Acura 5-speed with steering wheel and shift levers Grade Logic Control. Although powerful, the new engine is also fuel efficient, with EPA fuel economy of the city provides scores * 18 mpg and 26 mpg on the highway. The engine is targeted to meet California's tough CARB LEV II ULEV emissions certification standards, thanks to features including a drive-by-Wire throttle system, the computer controlled programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) and Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC ®) for intake valves.





Serious performance sedan devotees will choose the TL SH-AWD ® to make their own winding paths. Its all-new 3.7-liter V-6 engine produces 305 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque courtesy of greater displacement and additional high performance features like Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC ®) on both admission and valves, and a special high-flow dual exhaust. With the anticipated EPA fuel economy ratings * 17 mpg city and 25 mpg on the highway, the 3.7L is also targeted to meet California's stringent CARB LEV II ULEV emissions certification. The highlight of the TL SH-AWD ® is the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, a system is now available on the TL for the first time.

For curves spirit, the SH-AWD ® seamlessly distributes more torque to the outside rear wheel to create a "yaw moment" to help both the LT more quickly and precisely - while continuing sharing transmission of torque from front to rear and from left to right. The result is a performance sedan traction remarkably balanced and precise which protrudes from the entire year, not just during inclement weather.

Acura TL performance achievements extend to durability, reliability and refinement as well.
