Acura has
officially unveiled the new TLX-L at the Chengdu Motor Show in China. Looking
virtually identical to the concept, the production model has a familiar front
fascia with Jewel Eye LED headlights and chrome trim.
Bigger changes occur aft
of the A-pillar as the car rides on an extended wheelbase and features longer
rear door. Rounding out the exterior highlights are a standard panoramic glass
sunroof, a rear spoiler, and a dual exhaust system with chromed tailpipes.
Acura was coy on specifics but confirmed the car's
wheelbase now measures 2900 mm long. The standard TLX has a
wheelbase of 2775 mm so rear seat passenger are treated to an
additional 125 mm of room.
The company didn't have much else to say about the
car but we can see it comes nicely equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel,
leather upholstery, and metallic trim. Rear seat passengers also have access to
an infotainment system which is located in the center armrest. Car News China
reports the TLX-L will be offered with two different engines including a
2.4-liter four-cylinder with 208 PS and a 3.5-liter V6 developing 294
PS.
Both models will come equipped with Acura's
Precision All-Wheel Steer (PAWS) system which independently adjusts the rear
wheel toe angles for improved maneuverability.
