The 2011 Acura TL AWD 3.7 is a sport oriented 4-door 5-passenger luxury sedan. It sports a controversial edgy look with wide bodywork, large metallic beak grille, a sloping roof line at the rear that ends short on its tail, and dual exhaust finishers. This top TL trim level gets a high-tech Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) that is capable of transferring power to individual wheels to suit different conditions. It also highlights a more powerful engine – a 3.7-Liter V6 that churns out 305-horsepower and 273 lb.ft. of peak torque. Standard gearbox is a 5-speed automatic with sequential sport shift. Alternatively, a 6-speed manual is also offered. The sedan returns 20 mpg combined.
