Crash Test (iihs) Acura TL 3.2 V6 (2002)

Test details:
The Acura TL was redesigned for the 1999 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, chest, and left leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.

Additional features:
Side airbags: front seat-mounted torso airbags (2000-03 models)
Electronic stability control (optional, 2002-03 models)
Antilock brakes
