2009 Acura TSX

Engineered to reaffirm its place as a desirable and affordable entry point for the Acura sedan range, the all-new second-generation 2009 TSX is larger, more agile and more powerful.

With sharp-edged and athletic styling, a powerful, clean and efficient i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine, a choice of automatic or manual transmission, the 2009 TSX continues as a valuable asset to the Acura division.

Major advances in handling agility, safety features, emissions reduction, ride smoothness and quietness, and interior comfort and convenience features all contribute to the new TSX's appeal.

Improved performance and cleaner emissions are the hallmarks of the 2009 TSX's 4-cylinder engine. Displacing 2.4 liters and producing 201 hp and 172 lb-ft of torque, the new engine produces its useable power across a much wider rpm range, while newfound torque (an improvement of 8 lb-ft) further strengthens the engine's pulling power at middle rpm levels.

The 2009 TSX dramatically advances design themes with a broad new stance. With body-width increased 3 inches and wheel track dimensions up by 2.6 inches over the outgoing model, the TSX looks the part of a leading-edge sports sedan.

Besides adding a more muscular dimension to the TSX's appearance, the wider stance serves double-duty in increasing handling agility as well as adding to interior comfort and roominess.
