BETWEEN SIZE
AND POWER:
REIMAGINED

THE MARK OF an Acura engine is its ability to produce

more power than its specs would suggest possible. The TSX
accomplishes this feat with the precise management of
its 2.4-liter i-VTEC® in-line 4. The engine’s highly intelligent
variable valve-timing system expertly balances the competing
demands of low-end torque and high-speed horsepower,
generating a constant surge throughout the power band.
The TSX Sedan is also available with a V-6 for even bigger
thrills. Its all-aluminum construction and hollow camshafts
keep the engine lighter for a better-handling vehicle.

2.4-liter engine can be mated with a 6-speed manual transmission (Special Edition only).
The close-ratio gearing ensures strong performance in any gear. Shift throws are short
and the linkage direct to provide an optimal feel for confident shifting. Available with
both engines, the Sequential SportShift automatic features cornering-G shift control that
recognizes when you’re in a curve and will delay upshifting to avoid having to then
downshift when you hit the accelerator as you exit the curve. The automatic transmission
also gives you the option of driving in fully automatic mode or, with race-inspired paddle
shifters, a more hands-on approach.

Suspension

COMBINING ADVANCED metallurgy and complex physics, TSX handling technologies may

seem like cold engineering. But one drive is all it takes to appreciate the finer qualities
of the TSX ride. It all starts with the chassis. The strategic use of high-tensile steel keeps
it both light and strong. The improved body rigidity allows the suspension to be tuned
with greater precision, helping the vehicle respond to driver input with minimal body roll.
Speed-sensitive Electric Power Steering (EPS) lets the steering feel match the driving
conditions, from parking to high-speed driving. The V-6 model gets its own suspension
tuning and larger diameter wheels, further lengthening its performance parameters.
