The all new 2009 Acura TL is the latest redesigned high-performance luxury sedan from Acura. With all new performance, comfort, styling and technology features, this fourth generation five-passenger TL is setting new standards in its class.

The TL is available in base TL and TL SH-AWD trims. The base TL comes with a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 engine rated at 280 horsepower and 254 lb-ft. of torque, while the TL SH-AWD comes with a 3.7-liter VTEC V6 engine that pumps out 305 horsepower and 275 lb-ft. of torque, which is one of Acura's most powerful engines. The base TL has a transversely-mounted front engine, front-wheel drive drivetrain layout. The TL SH-AWD trim comes with a transversely-mounted front engine, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) drivetrain layout.

The 2009 Acura TL is equipped with a sophisticated 5-speed automatic transmission with sequential SportShift paddle shifters and grade logic control for strong acceleration in lower gears and relaxed cruising.

With strong character lines, new LED taillights, bright HID projector-beam front headlights and sweeping pillars, the exterior of the TL is one to contend with. Inside, a new dual personal layout for the driver and front passenger provides comfort. A cool-looking 4-guage instrument cluster, classy center stack, and comfortable front and rear seats are other impressive features.

The cargo space available is 13.1 cubic foot in the base TL and 12.5 in the TL SH-AWD. Long items can be extended into the cabin by folding the rear-seat armrest and opening the lockable access door.

An all new Technology Package with features like AcuraLink real-time traffic and AcuraLink weather with Doppler-style radar mapping and optional ELS Surround premium 10-speaker surround sound system is also available.

The 2009 Acura TL comes with industry-leading equipment aimed at both driver and passengers' safety and security in all situations. The standard airbags protect the occupants in a wide variety of impact situations. The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system actively compensates for understeer, oversteer, and skidding - in milliseconds. A camera located in the rear spoiler plate (a part of the Technology Package) sends the navigation screen a view of the space directly behind the vehicle during reversing, adding to its safety and convenience while parking.
