New Acura TSX Sedan 2011

Drivetrain The 2011 Acura TSX sedan remains fun to drive thanks to Acura has always put much emphasis on building an interior that is exceptionally quiet, and for 2011 the Acura TSX has even greater cabin serenity thanks to items such as a new acoustic glass front windshield, even thicker side glass, increased use of sound-deadening insulation, improved floor mats and new underfloor covers. Now with the ability to store more than 3,500 songs, there is no longer a need to carry around bulky CDs. New for 2011, the TSX with available Technology Package now includes an LED backlit full VGA navigation screen (that generates 400-percent better resolution than before), improved navigation system functions (faster performance, improved search ability and expanded map coverage), Song By Voice™ (SBV) user interface, a 60-gigabyte hard disk drive (HDD) system, and the ability to download 15-gigabytes of personal music to the HDD system. Acura is known for its outstanding array of user relevant technology, and the 2011 Acura TSX further expands on this concept. Rear seat occupants will enjoy added comfort thanks to the addition of heating/cooling vents mounted at the rear of the center console. In addition, new is contrasting-color stitching for the leather seats, door armrests and center console. Interior Inside, the 2011 Acura TSX receives a host of visual upgrades in the form of 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. The standard 17-inch 5-spoke aluminum wheels for the 2.4L 4-cylinder model are more cutting edge as they now incorporate a machined lip on the face of the spokes, and the split 5-spoke 18-inch aluminum wheels remain standard with the 3.5L V-6 model.

Exterior On the outside, the 2011 TSX receives a new front fascia, revised chin spoiler, new fog light garnish assembly and an updated grill.

The 2011 Acura TSX Sport 2011

We've yet to drive the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon, but check back later in the year for a full review. As such, the Sport Wagon will compete with the likes of the Audi A4 Avant, BMW 3 Series Wagon and Volvo V50 as well as offering an alternative to premium crossover SUVs. Besides the added space, we expect the new wagon to offer similar standard features and options. The 2011 TSX Sport Wagon will add plenty of utility to the sedan model and will also feature additional storage under the cargo floor. We anticipate the 3.5-liter V6 will also be available and both variants will be front-wheel drive. As with its sedan stablemate, the base Sport Wagon will be powered by a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine. The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon debuted at the 2010 New York Auto Show and is slated to arrive in dealer showrooms sometime this fall.
