Does the Acura TL have all-wheel drive?

I’m looking at possibly purchasing a used Acura TL, but I live in a snowy climate. Does it have AWD?

All-wheel drive is a great feature if you live somewhere with frequent snow and ice. If the used
Acura TL
you’re looking at is from 2009 or newer, then—although front-wheel drive is standard—all-wheel drive is available as an optional configuration.
The front-wheel drive TL is outfitted with a 280-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, while the all-wheel drive TL SH-AWD features a more powerful 305-hp 3.7-liter V6. Both engines are paired with a five-speed automatic transmission, featuring Sequential SportShift manual mode and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Acura’s exclusive Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system enhances grip, stability, and all-weather control—making it the perfect upgrade for snowy streets. Additionally, an electric power assist steering system on both models provides direct feedback.
Whichever all-wheel drive vehicle you end up purchasing, make sure you protect it from bad weather and weather-related collisions with quality
car insurance
