Year to Year Changes
1998 Acura CL:
For 1998, the 2.2CL coupe was transformed into a 2.3CL, by switching from a 145-horsepower 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine to a 150-horsepower, 2.3-liter four. As before, the 4-cylinder engine came with either manual or automatic transmission. Wheels were newly designed this year, and the grille was revised. Steering-wheel audio controls were installed.
1999 Acura CL:
Leather seating for the base model topped the '99 additions to the CL. This year, both models got leather interior trim as standard, and added a trunk cargo net. Acura skipped the 2000 model year, preparing a redesigned CL coupe as an early 2001 model.
