Overview
The 2014 Acura TL Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $36,030. For that price, it mainly competes with the Lexus ES 350 and locks horns with opulent German cars such as Audi A6 and the BMW 5 Series. Between 2 trims, the TLoffers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.5L V6 engine capable of making 280 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 305 horsepower-making 3.7L V6 engine only offered with the Super Handling AWD models. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission although the AWD model of the Technology trim gets a 6-speed manual transmission as optional as well.The TL reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.7 seconds with the 3.7L V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the TL can manage a combined fuel economy between 21 and 23 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 6 striking colors the TL comes in really pull you towards itself.
