It also offers a large, easy-to-read 8-inch multi-function touch screen display.Īnother advance is the use of Bluetooth, a wireless technology that's attaining widespread use in computers, PDAs and other portable electronics to enable hands-free phone capability in the TL. Its trip calculation time is two times quicker than the previous generation TL system and it recognizes 293 verbal commands. The TL features the Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition(TM) with seven million points of interest for the 48 states. The interior is also more spacious and stylish, and features standard perforated leather-trimmed seating.

LED backlit analog instruments are placed to allow the driver instant access to information, while top quality interior materials and details enhance luxury. It is the first vehicle in North America to feature an acoustic glass windshield with shade band and the first to offer a standard DVD-Audio 5.1 surround sound system.Īcura's tradition of augmenting a driver-oriented layout with luxury features is fully realized in the TL. The list of features and equipment contains a number of firsts for the industry and for Acura.

Wider wheels and tires are standard, and a choice of all-season or high-performance tires is available on the manual transmission models.ĭespite a comprehensive array of technology and the use of insulating materials to promote a quiet and luxurious cabin, strict control over component weight has kept the automatic transmission-equipped TL to just 3,575 pounds. With careful suspension tuning, engineers made sure that enhanced handling performance did not come at the cost of ride quality or comfort.ĭouble-wishbone front suspension and 5-link double wishbone rear suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) are all standard. Both the front and rear suspension have built in "toe" gain when the suspension is in bump, further stabilizing the chassis on rough roads and during cornering. Using a lower arm and knuckle, and shortening the rigid stamped steel upper arms, results in greater camber gain, resulting in optimized tire contact patches during cornering. Every suspension link has been set to optimize the geometry to produce superior ride and handling.
The design concept starts by building the body over a substantial foundation-large wheels and tires positioned wide, with body overhangs minimized.įront suspension geometry evolved from the previous TL Type-S in pursuit of even greater roadholding capabilities. A Maintenance Minder system continuously monitors the vehicle's operating conditions, indicating to the driver when maintenance such as an oil change is required.īoth a 5-speed Sequential SportShift(TM) automatic and a close ratio 6-speed manual transmission are available. The engine meets the tough California Air Resources Board (CARB) LEV-2 ULEV emissions standards for all vehicles sold in the U.S., and has a tune-up interval of 105,000 miles. Combining a 3-rocker VTEC system with a high 11.0:1 compression ratio and high-flow intake and exhaust systems help the engine produce 270 hp and 238 lbs-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. The TL's 3.2-liter VTEC V-6 features an aluminum-alloy cylinder block and heads, crankshaft and pistons.

Competition also comes from compact near-luxury sedans like the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-class. Although the TL has been a top seller in this segment, it has recently faced increasing challenges from sporty sedans such as the BMW 530i, Cadillac CTS and Infiniti G35. The Acura TL occupies the near luxury segment, which accounts for over a third of the luxury market as a whole. The luxury vehicle market continues to expand, and the "near luxury" and "luxury SUV" segments within it are enjoying the most growth. The TL uses crisp, taut lines instead of sweeping curves, satin trim in key areas rather than bright chrome, and a driver-oriented layout makes driving more engaging.

Enthusiast drivers appreciate the TL for its high dynamic capabilities-the 2005 TL is a true driver's car that competes against the best near-luxury sedans.įor inspiration Acura considered a design style referred to as "Bauhaus," named for the famous German design house of the 1920s that defined "form follows function" design. For 2004, an all-new completely redesigned TL went on sale with more power, an assortment of breakthrough technology and an exterior design that is taut, athletic and powerful.
The Acura TL performance luxury sedan was introduced in 1995 with a second-generation model debuting in 1999.
