ACURA CL ACCESSORIES & Parts

The Acura CL debuted in 1997 as a midsize luxury car, replacing the popular Legend coupe. It is also the first Acura model to be assembled in the US, at the Honda plant in Marysville, Ohio. For its first year, the CL was offered with two engine options, a 3.0L V6 good for 200 horsepower and 2.2L inline four-cylinder engine (145 HP) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. However, the four-cylinder version of the model could also be had with a five-speed manual. A Premium trim level was available for both engine configurations with the 3.0L seeing both heated leather seating as well as a Bose stereo. In 1999 leather seats became a standard feature on all variants of the vehicle.

2001 brought on the second generation of the model, as the Acura CL parts and design underwent a significant redesign. The 3.0 engine from the first series was upgraded to a 3.2L SOHC VTEC V6. Unlike the first generation, an inline four-cylinder engine was not offered. The Acura CL Type-S (Sport) came in a slightly different package, showing off a V6 capable of 260 horsepower, larger brakes, 17-inch wheels, and a navigation system. For the 2003 model year, the CL Type-S was accessible with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission. That same year, restyling cues were also in effect, as side vents were employed to the exterior along with the grille and door handles matching the color of the vehicle.

As Acura's lone entrant into the highly competitive midsize luxury class, the CL received a fair amount of attention due to its sportier coupe image. Although Acura did not develop another midsize coupe during this period, the brand's TL, a midsize sedan, became the focal point as it grew in popularity. In 2004 the CL was discontinued due to both slowing interest and Acura's new concentration on the TL. While it is currently without a replacement on the Acura roster, the CL is still a viable presence on the road and appreciated for its sleek style as well as its punchy yet smooth performance.

Boasting a touch of sportiness and a fistful of refinement, the CL has become one of the models that represent the Acura brand best. Intent on performance, the drivability of the CL made an impression right from the beginning. An angled, sporty body-shape combined with a comfy cabin and quality Acura CL parts are three of the more well-known qualities the CL is known for. Touching on solid handling and a taste of the good life elsewhere throughout the vehicle, CL owners have themselves a remarkable automobile front to back.

Brief History of the Acura CL
  • 1997 Acura CL
  • First Generation Acura CL
  • 2001 Custom Acura CL Type S
  • 2003 Acura CL

Introduced to the world in 1997, the CL coupe has become the first Acura to be manufactured in the U.S. Despite having been discontinued in 2003, the Acura CL remains a popular choice among the import tuner enthusiasts.

The 1997 Acura CL rolled off the line with two engine options available - a 3.0L V6 producing 200 hp and a 2.2L, 145-hp I4 engine. The ‘98 and ‘99 models were equipped with a 2.3L engine capable of 150 hp. Skipping the 2000 model year, Acura released a completely redesigned CL as a 2001 model, fitting it with a 3.2 LSOHC VTEC J-Series V6. Along with the regular 225-hp CL, a sports edition Type S model was released. The Type-S featured a 260-hp V6, 17’’ wheels, a firmer suspension, slightly larger brakes, and more stylish seats. One of the major criticisms the second-generation CL have gone through was that a manual transmission has been dropped when the car was redesigned. Very few manual gearbox models were built. However, the CL’s manual transmission survives in the 3rd generation TL and the 7th generation Honda Accord.

The CL received only several cosmetic tweaks for the 2003 model year. The fog lamps found on the 01-02 models were replaced with non-functional air vents. The grille surround and door handles were now body color, as opposed to being chrome on the 2001-2002. The 2003 models also saw new headlights which now featured a blacked-out interior, and the taillight lenses had a cleared turn signal and reverse light.

The Acura CL was discontinued in 2003 due to decreasing sales, and to this day Acura has no mid-size luxury coupe replacement.
