The 2010 Acura TSX

Acura takes another leap in expanding the TSX label this year by launching it as a wagon in fall of 2010. Just like the previous years, the new TSX will be marketed only in Canada and North America and slowly European markets will be flooded with the new Acura wagon.
The 2010 Acura TSX will also be sold under the Accord Euro label in Australia and New Zealand later on. As far as the standard TSX model is concerned, it will incorporate very few changes in terms of specs and design. Last year, Acura TSX had received a couple of inches increase in its length and 1.3inches in its wheelbase; this year it is not sure as to whether Acura/Honda plans on increasing the dimensions any further.
The current TSX already boasts of being one of the longest cars in the Acura lineup. So, there are good chances that nothing except the wheelbase would change; probably a little increase in overall length may well be on the cards (though there are no indications right now).
As far as the standard features are concerned, there'll be very little change too, though it would be interesting to see how Acura plans on furnishing its wagon; whether all the features will be standard offerings increasing the base price, or only the higher end trims will be costlier, presenting the true capabilities of the TSX. The exact pricing for the wagon model are yet to be officially unveiled by Honda/Acura, and it will be quite interesting to see the response of the customers to the latest offering.

2010 Acura TSX Engine

The new TSX uses a base engine similar to that of the 2008 TSX. The engine is a 2.4-litre in-line 4 cylinder engine reaching 201 hp (150 kW) and 172 lb·ft (233 N·m) torque.

While the rated power of the new TSX engine is 4 hp (3.0 kW) lower than that of the 2008 model, Acura says the new engine distributes power across a much wider rpm range, which along with the increased torque, provides an increased feeling of power for the driver.

Unveiled at February’s Chicago Auto Show, the V-6 powered TSX is added to the automaker’s updated 2010 lineup. Positioned at luxury sports sedan, the 2010 Acura TSX V6 offers more comforts, convenience and safety.

Mated to a specially-geared Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic transmission, the TSX V-6 generates substantially improved performance for drivers who prefer the more interesting route over the quickest route. In addition, the V-6 TSX also receives exclusive suspension tuning (the front suspension receives firmer springs and revised calibration for the dual-mode suspension dampers), brake system upgrades, and unique five-spoke 18in aluminum wheels shod with Michelin Pilot all-season tires.

"With strong V-6 power, the 2010 TSX can go toe-to-toe with the top sports sedans in its class," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. "Matched with new 18-inch wheels and revised suspension, the TSX V-6 is proof positive that a smart vehicle choice doesn't have to be a boring vehicle choice."

At the same time, the V6 TSX meets California's CARB LEV II ULEV emissions certification and delivers an EPA estimated city/highway fuel economy of 18/27mpg.

Like all Acura models, the new TSX features as standard a power moonroof, automatic climate control, a premium seven-speaker sound system with XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth hands-free and USB and auxiliary ports. Optional goodies include Acura’s Technology Package, which adds satellite navigation, a reversing camera, and a premium sound system.

Incidentally, the 2.4L four-cylinder version remains on sale. Producing 201hp and 172lb-ft of torque, the four-cylinder engine comes standard with a 6-speed manual or optional 5-speed automatic.
