Like the Acura RL, the Acura TL returns all-new for the 2009 model year. Growing in both proportions and power, the 2009 Acura TL ups the ante in both comfort and maneuverability. Base models benefit from a 3.5-liter V6 that purrs at 280 horsepower. The upgrade SH-AWD (Super Handling All-Wheel Drive) model improves on this with a 3.7-liter V6 that outputs 305 horsepower. A 5-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and sport suspension help to cement the 2009 TL as one of the sportier luxury sedan options for the year. Noteworthy available features include traction control, heated leather seats, sunroof and a bass-thumping 10-speaker sound system. Base models muster a decent 26 mpg on the highway. Acura's standard warranty package covers the 2009 Acura TL for 4 years or 50,000 miles.
