Safety
Acura expects the new TL, now equipped with the automaker's Advanced Compatibility Engineering design for the front of the car's structure, to receive top ratings in crash tests conducted by the NHTSA and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Furthermore, the car has been designed to meet tough new rear-impact regulations and, according to Acura, passes future side-impact standards three years early. In addition to engineering the 2009 Acura TL for crashworthiness, the company has made many safety features standard. Six air bags, whiplash-reducing front seats, ABS with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, and stability control are included on every 2009 Acura TL.

Technology
Each version of the 2009 Acura TL is available with an optional Technology package. Included in the package are several features that make life easier, such as a navigation system with voice recognition and a rearview camera, Keyless Access with push-button starting, AcuraLink real-time traffic with trip rerouting feature, and an Acura/ELS premium audio system with 10 speakers, 440 watts of power, XM satellite radio, Bluetooth Audio and a hard disk drive that can store up to 2,500 songs. Better yet, especially for residents of foul-weather regions, the 2009 Acura TL offers real-time weather complete with Doppler-style radar maps depicted on the high-resolution, in-dash screen.
