Interior Room and Seating

Seating

  • Driver's seat has substantial side and shoulder bolstering to keep the driver in place during aggressive cornering.
  • The new 10-way power adjustable seat is engineered for long-haul comfort in addition to sporting support. It includes a two-way power adjustable lumbar support mechanism.
  • Standard perforated leather-trimmed seating with a more generous (0.9-inch wider at the hip point than that of the previous Type-S) base cushion provides added hip room. Vertical travel of the standard power seat mechanism has been increased (there's 0.1-inch more "up" travel and 0.4-inch more "down" travel). The stroke of the lumbar support unit has been increased 0.5-inch in the TL.
  • All driver's seat power adjustments are included in Keyless Memory Link.
  • The front passenger seat is four-way power adjustable and has a fixed lumbar support. Four-way front headrests are adjustable for height and tilt.
  • The rear outboard headrests adjust vertically.

LED Instrumentation/Interior Lighting


  • The black-faced, LED backlit meters are highly legible day or night and have a technical "3D" appearance.
  • When the door is first opened, the instrument lighting comes to life, then brightens progressively to 100 percent when the key is put in the ignition. At the end of the drive, the instrument lighting dims progressively.
  • All the interior switches are illuminated to make them easy to find, including those on the steering wheel and all four doors.
  • Blue LEDs in the overhead console cast a subtle ambient glow on the center console area and like all the meter lights, are controlled by a dimmer mounted on the left side of the instrument panel.
  • New map/reading lights at all positions (not just in front) are now brighter and more focused, to provide better illumination with less driver distraction.
  • The TL interior lights feature "theater dimming," which can be set by the driver to any of three rates via the Multi-Info Display (MID).

Interior Roominess


  • The cabin has over a cubic foot more volume, putting the TL solidly in the EPA Mid-Size category.
  • Headroom has been increased front and rear; there's a half-inch more clearance in front, and 0.8-inch more in back.
  • Front legroom has increased incrementally, and, and front shoulder room has been boosted by a substantial 2.2 inches?making it the best among the car's immediate competitors.
  • Newly re-contoured front seatbacks open up an additional 1.2 inches of knee room for back seat passengers.
  • Front and rear, the TL has a flat floor with ample foot room.
