Overview
The 2013 Acura TL is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims which can be further divided into sub-trims depending on the packages. That said, the 2013 Acura TL carries a base MSRP of $35,905. For that price, it mainly competes with the Lexus GS 350, the Lincoln MKZ, and the Cadillac CTS. Between 4 trims, the TL offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.5L V6 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. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission but the latter one also gets a 6-speed manual gearbox as an option. 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. 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.
