2011 Acura TL Sedan
-
MSRP $35,305
This midsize luxury sedan has undergone several improvements in recent model years,including a more powerful engine,a re-tuned suspension,an optional manual transmission,and an overall repositioning as a conservatively sporty choice. The 2011 TL carries over from the previous year.
The base model of the 2011 Acura TL features 17-inch alloy wheels,leather upholstery,automatic Xenon headlights,power accessories,Bluetooth connectivity,and an 8-speaker sound system. The TL SH-AWD trim steps up to 18-inch wheels (with 19-inch wheels optional),a more powerful engine,Acura??s proprietary all-wheel-drive (AWD) system,upgraded brakes and seats,upgraded interior trim,and available two-tone interior. Both trims offer an optional Technology package,which adds a hard-drive-based navigation system with voice recognition,GPS-linked and solar-sensing climate control,upgraded leather upholstery,keyless ignition,and a 10-speaker sound system. The trunk provides just over 13 cubic feet of cargo space,according to the manufacturer.
The 2011 Acura TL??s base power plant is a 280-horsepower,3.5-liter V-6 engine that works with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The TL SH-AWD trim employs a 305-horsepower,3.7-liter V-6 engine and an AWD system that allots varying power to front and rear wheels depending on the situation. With that drivetrain,a 6-speed manual transmission with hill-start assist is optional. The base engine delivers 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway; the larger engine returns 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway,according to the EPA.
Standard safety features on the 2011 Acura TL include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist,stability control,traction control,front side air bags,side curtain air bags,and active front head restraints. A rearview camera is optional. The 2011 Acura TL received the highest-possible ???Good?? rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in frontal offset,rear-impact,and side-impact crash testing.
Starting MSRP for the 2011 Acura TL was $35,305.
