The Striking and Luxurious 2014 Acura TL Is Unmistakable

ShowRoomandTell Each Thursday, we emphasize a different model for Showroom and Tell. If you celebrate affordable luxury, then continue reading to learn more about the 2014 Acura TL found at Leith Acura in Cary.

When the engineers designed the sultry TL, they applied the perfect coupling of precise manufacturing and inventive design. It offers a luxurious interior that includes plush leather seating and visually striking ornamentation throughout the cabin. With the Acura calipers, its unmistakable regalia, adorning the grille, the TL is unmistakable.

Beneath the hood, a 3.5-liter VTEC V-6 engine delivers the athletic performance expected from a gorgeous sports model: 280 horsepower and 254 lbs-ft of torque. A Drive-by-Wire system adjusts throttle response for ease of control at lower speeds, as well as masterful response for high performance. Lower-friction piston rings and the car’s ability to operate on lower viscosity oil optimize this car’s impressive fuel efficiency.

The 2014 Acura TL comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission. For those who seek a slightly more engaged driving experience, this model has Sequential SportShift paddles; this way you can control shifting or the car will seamlessly shift on its own. Some drivers want a spirited drive, so they can opt for the 6-speed manual transmission in the TL SH-AWD.

The Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system in Acura vehicles continuously distributes power to match weight distribution and road conditions. After experiencing Snow-pocalypse I a few weeks ago and Snow-pocalypse II just this week, drivers across the nation are reminded how vital these effective systems are.

This car’s unmatched frame rigidity allows for greater precision in suspension tuning is just one facet that creates a quiet, smooth ride. There are myriad features that contribute to the comfort inside the cabin:

Three noise-absorbing layers sandwiched between acoustic glass on the windshield
Electronically-controlled engine mounts reduce engine noise
Reduced vibration via aluminum steering hanging rack
Extensive body sealing to reduce road noise

Even from the driver’s seat, you can enjoy the benefits of unmitigated views surrounding the car. A rearview camera and Blind Spot Information system provide you complete awareness of the environment in which you drive. If driving at night concerns you, the Acura xenon lights cast greater illumination that does not inhibit oncoming drivers’ ability to see.

Multi-way powered Milano leather seats feature dense material that eliminates road vibration. Should the seat feel chilled, you can warm yourself utilizing both the heated seats and climate control. The driver and front passenger also enjoy the advantage of dual control to create their own microclimates.

In the 2014 Acura TL, the fifteen ample storage areas, USB and auxiliary connections, Bluetooth Handsfree Link, keyless access, and Dolby Pro Logic II sound system all contribute to the definition of luxury that comes standard in the TL. Upgrades are optional, such as the GPS-influenced climate control – using the position of the sun to adjust interior comfort – and the Voice Recognition system can enhance your experience.
