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.

Left to right:

  • Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
  • The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well.
  • Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit only the head restraint.
  • Forces on the lower right leg were high enough to indicate the possibility of injury.

Additional features:

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