The introduction of the 2009 Acura TSX is making even the most demanding car shoppers sit back and admire. The latest model of the Acura TSX, available as of April 2008, is definitely the latest and greatest in a line of great vehicles by Acura. The outstanding combination of performance, safety and design features doesn't leave anything to be desired.
The 2009 Acura TSX is perfect for consumers looking for something a little more sporty and up-scale than the typical family four-door, but with Anti lock brakes, stability control, front side impact airbags and side curtain airbags for all outboard passengers, the whole family feels safe and secure.
The advanced safety features of the 2009 Acura TSX are just the tip of the iceberg. The engineers also had power and performance on the brain as they put together this fabulous model. The 2009 Acura TSX offers a 2.4 liter inline 4 cylinder engine that can reach up to 201 horsepower and 172 lb-ft torque; nothing else need be said, but we'll go on anyway! Distributing power across a wider range of rpm's in combination with the increased torque provides drivers with more power and control! Engine features of the Acura TSX have mileage projections at 30 mpg highway!
In 2009, the Acura TSX is expected to receive Honda's 2.2-litre i-DTEC clean turbo diesel engine. This engine is equipped with an advanced Nox emissions reduction system, which will make the Acura TSX even more environmentally friendly. The i-DTEC engine when used in the 2009 Acura TSX will require no urea additives to meet emission standards.
Two transmission options (5-speed automatic and 6-speed manual) will be available with both the 2009 Acura TSX: the 2.4 liter engine and the i-DTEC engine. The automatic Acura TSX will come with the added feature of steering wheel paddle shifters for optional manual shifting.
During the process of redesigning the Acura TSX for 2009, its size was increased. The 3 inch width increase will allow drivers to increase stability and control with their 2009 Acura TSX. This means that the vehicle will offer a 2.6 inch wider track and a 1.3 inch longer wheelbase in comparison to previous models. The 2009 Acura TSX will also have its length increased by 2.4 inches.
Traditional Acura luxury is evident in the 2009 Acura TSX, but it offers more than ever before. This model has a USB port music interface and an optional tech package. The optional technology package includes: a navigation system, real time weather and traffic reporting, and 10 speaker premium sound system with DVD-audio capabilities. Another "advancement" that the 2009 Acura TSX offers is Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure that reduces the accident impact on passengers.
Drivers and passengers of the 2009 Acura TSX will also enjoy a power moon roof, 17-inch alloy wheels, Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, heated front seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, satellite radio and HandsFreeLink (Bluetooth) wireless connectivity; a navigation system with voice activation is optional.
The 2009 Acura TSX deserves a fabulous introduction. It meets the needs of so many different drivers: families looking for safety, the young and old alike looking for fun and smooth handling, all of us that want to be pampered looking for luxury...no matter who you are and why you're looking for a new car, the 2009 Acura TSX deserves a thorough once over!
