DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.

The exhilarating performance and modern luxury of the TL hasn’t gone unnoticed. It has even made headlines for earning top safety ratings.

RATINGS

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

The 2013 TL achieved a “Top Safety Pick+” rating, which is the highest possible designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). To be declared a “Top Safety Pick +”, a vehicle must receive their top rating (“Good”) in at least four of five evaluations: moderate overlap frontal, small overlap frontal, and side impact crash tests, and rollover and rear impact evaluations. The TL achieved a “Good” rating in all five evaluations.

The TL is one of only two vehicles in its class to achieve the Top Safety Pick+ rating.

ALG Residual Value

Acura currently holds the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) Residual Value Award for Overall Luxury Brand. Acura has previously earned this honor in 2009 and 2010 and has never ranked below 2nd place for the past five years.

REVIEWS

Popular Mechanics

“The standard V-6 pulls strongly, and there's no perceptible torque steer. The chassis is nicely calibrated to provide good grip as well as a smooth ride.”

“The interior of the 2009 TL has many pleasing attributes—the binnacle's styling and functionality is very well thought out. The boffins at BMW who invented the iDrive menu system need to spend a few days commuting in the TL—the controls are intuitive. We were particularly impressed with the user interface on the navigation system.”
