For those seeking the premium appeal of the Acura brand on a limited budget, the small TSX sedan provides a reasonable alternative to pricier models. For the latest model year, customers will also benefit from a thoroughly updated and expanded model lineup that now includes the TSX Sport Wagon.

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 TSX is powered by a 201-horsepower, 172 lb-ft of torque 2.4-liter that pairs with either a standard (and very smooth) six-speed manual or an optional automatic. The TSX is rated at 22 in the city and 31 mpg on the highway with the automatic and 21/29 mpg with the manual.

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 latest 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.
