2010 Acura TSX
2010 Acura TSX

Overview

The base TSX comes standard with a DOHC 2.4L inline-4 engine with i-VTEC variable timing that delivers 201 horsepower with a 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive. New for 2010 is an optional 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 280 horsepower thru a 5-speed automatic with overdrive. The optional automatic transmission includes SportShift and steering wheel paddles. The car's sporty handling comes courtesy of a special suspension that utilizes dual-mode dampers. These dampers have the ability to change automatically given road and driving conditions.

The TSX comes standard with a power moonroof, Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights, heated front seats, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, satellite radio and HandsFreeLink (Bluetooth) wireless connectivity.

Standard safety equipment includes 4-wheel antilock brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, a tire pressure monitoring system and front side-impact airbags, overhead curtain airbags and new active anti-whiplash front head restraints.

The optional Technology Package includes a navigation system with voice activation and real-time traffic and weather, integrated rearview camera parking assist, a 10-speaker, 415-watt surround-sound audio system, and climate control systems.

Model Changes

New for 2010 is an available 3.5L V6 engine. Utilizing VTEC variable valve timing technology, the V6 generates 280hp and 254 lb-ft of torque.

Model Value

While the TSX is considered Acura's entry-level sedan, it lacks in neither performance nor luxury. The TSX's base MSRP price of just over $29,000 belies its well-equipped nature, as it offers a host of luxury and convenience items on all trims. The 2010 TSX holds its own against more expensive competition like the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Mileage across the lineup varies from 18 to 21 mpg in the city and 27 to 30 on the highway.
