Product Overview

Acura CL Mk2 (chassis code YA4) is a large coupe in production from 2000 to 2003. It was available with a two tunes of a naturally-aspirated V6 petrol engine with VTEC that displaced 3.2 liters.
With a rather elegant yet simple exterior styling, the Acura CL was designed for those who love driving. However, like other Honda / Acura products, the CL remained FWD. It has MacPherson strut front suspensions, too. These factors limit the handling of the vehicle.
