2012 Acura TSX Future Car

For those seeking the premium, luxury appeal of Honda's Acura brand on a limited budget, the TSX provides a reasonable alternative to pricier models. For the latest model year, customers will also benefit from a thoroughly updated and expanded TSX model lineup.

While Acura redesigned the TSX for the latest model year, its 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 3.5-liter V6 powertrains are mostly carried over for the new model year, but small modifications to reduce friction have increased fuel economy by one mpg for both city and highway across the board.

The 201-horsepower, 172 lb-ft of torque 2.4-liter (170 lb-ft. with the optional automatic) is rated at 22/31 city/highway (automatic, 21/29 manual) in the sedan and 22/30 in the automatic-only wagon. A five-speed automatic and six-speed manual are essentially carried over for the refreshed model.

Available only on the sedan and only with an automatic transmission, a 3.5-liter V6 cranks out 280 horsepower and 254 lb-ft. of torque. It sips fuel at a rate of 19 mpg urban and 28 mpg highway.

Aside from styling changes, which modify the front and rear fascias, the TSX gains new alloy wheel designs and acoustic windshield glass and upgraded sound insulation. Inside, the center console is mildly revised, while contrasting stitching is added to the standard leather seats.

Inside, the TSX Sedan received revised styling for the center console, darker trim pieces, brightly finished door handles, an updated parking brake handle and new garnishes for the steering wheel. In addition, contrasting-color stitching is new for the leather seats, door armrests and center console. Rear seat occupants will enjoy the addition of heating/cooling vents mounted at the rear of the center console, and the TSX's center console cargo compartment is now climate controlled.

An optional upgraded navigation system now boasts an LED backlit display, a 60GB hard drive capable of storing 15GB of music and Song By Voice interfacing.
