Acura TL, 2007
Body
For 2007, the Acura TL's exterior has been updated to enhance its emotional and athletic impact. With the introduction of the Type-S, visual cues were incorporated to distinguish it from other TLs. All the updates were done while maintaining the high build quality, durability and resale value that Acura buyers expect.
The design features and changes include:
Front
* Aggressive front fascia, a new larger grille opening, larger "A" mark and honeycomb mesh
* Redesigned bumper with satin chrome crossbar and horizontal trim
* New headlight clusters with daytime running lights (DRL) on innermost lens
* New auto-on and auto-off headlights (previously auto-off only)
* Fog lights repositioned from headlight cluster to lower valance
Side
* New, split 5-spoke alloy wheels in Blade Silver finish
* New exterior mirrors with integrated turn signal lights
Rear
* New rear bumper design
* Redesigned LED taillight clusters
* New italicized TL logo
Type-S Exclusive Features
* Black chrome grille trim (satin chrome on TL)
* Redesigned bumper with black chrome crossbar and horizontal mesh trim
* Pronounced "splitter" lip on front valance
* 10-spoke alloy wheels in Dark Euro Silver
* Smoked rear side marker lights
* Wider, more aggressive side sill moldings
* Exclusive rear bumper with trunk lid spoiler diffuser
* Redesigned and unique lower valance
* Large diameter quad exhaust finishers
* Black chrome taillight trim
* New Type-S logo
Interior
The Acura tradition of interior prestige and tailored function continues with an elegant and sporty interior for the TL. The instruments and controls are arranged to create an intimate and functional driver's cockpit that offers a feeling of connection and control. With its higher belt line, the TL has a substantial look and feel. Fine interior materials such as leather trimmed seats and real metal trim combine with close attention to detail and finish to give the TL a tangible feeling of elegance. The large interior has stylish and highly supportive seating and generous front and rear headroom.

* Steering wheel-mounted F1(R)-style Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters (Type-S only)
* External transmission fluid cooler (Type-S only)
* Advanced shift-hold control limits up-shifts during spirited driving
* Advanced Grade Logic Control System reduces gear "hunting" when driving on steep hills
* Linear solenoid direct-acting control reduces shift shock and improves smoothness
* Lockup torque converter design for superior fuel economy
6-Speed Manual Transmission (TL Type-S only)
* Close ratio spacing for maximum performance
* Multi-cone synchronizers (first through fourth gears)
* Reverse lock-out feature prevents accidental engagement
* Lightweight high-pressure-cast aluminum-alloy transmission housing
* Improved clutch feel for smoother engagement
* Advanced clutch torsion mechanism reduces gear noise
* Helical gear limited-slip differential reduces wheel spin and maximizes acceleration
Emissions/Fuel Economy
* Meets CARB LEV-II ULEV standard
* TL EPA fuel economy 20/29 mpg (city/highway)
* TL Type-S EPA fuel economy 19/28 mpg (AT) and 20/29 (MT)
