The 2003 Acura TL is a third-generation luxury sedan that comes in two trims: the base 3.2TL and the sporty 3.2TL Type S. The base version is powered by a 3.2 liter V6 engine producing 225 hp, whereas the Type S produces 260 hp from an enhanced V6 engine, both mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. The sedan is front-wheel drive and includes standard features like leather seats, moonroof, automatic climate control, and a strong Bose audio system. It also incorporates key safety features like ABS, traction control, and numerous airbags. Acura's navigation system was an available option, a feature not too common in the early 2000s.
