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

Comparison Test: TL SH-AWD vs. Audi A4 3.2 Quattro

“The TL with its Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system rocks the A4’s Quattro in the corners and offers more grip on curvy on-ramps; at times it even performs with rear-wheel-drive-like balance, something we can’t say for the nose-heavy Audi. Where the A4 starts to drift wide mid-corner, the TL digs for more traction and continues to grip.”

“The seats, especially in back, are roomier than Audi’s. From Pink Floyd to People Under the Stairs, the TL’s optional 10-speaker ELS surround-sound stereo trounces the A4’s 10-speaker system.”

“Acura’s combination of handling prowess and value for the money outpaced the A4’s strengths. The TL wins this one.”
