For 2011, the Acura TL received the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG ®) for the best residual value of the vehicle is near the luxury Acura brand took second place overall for the residual value for all the best luxury brands . Such independent recognition demonstrates the high value and quality that offers the Acura brand.
But in 2012 the engineers returned to work to refine the Acura TL, with even better properties. The most visible are the visual changes that include New front and rear, but there is also a new Sequential Shift 6-speed Sport Automatic for improved performance and fuel economy, a revised interior and a host of technological improvements.
The 2012 TL has been refined look of the new front bumper has a new design with improved aerodynamics, a revised grille, headlights and turn signals so far, a light mist of new design and a short front overhang.
