The new model is larger than its predecessor, offers better gas mileage, features all-new styling and is powered by a cleaner four-cylinder engine. Competitors include the Audi A4, Infiniti G35 and Saab 9-3. Exterior The exterior of the new TSX is much more muscular than the prior version. The wheels are accented by large fender flares, and the front of the car is defined by a new grille that features a silver-colored upper bar. The new TSX is also 2.4 inches longer than before, has a longer wheelbase and is 3 inches wider. A new cross-braced roof improves rigidity, and the TSX has dual-mode dampers that can vary their response based on driving conditions. Interior The TSX's restyled interior has a high-quality appearance and room for up to five people. Heated leather seats are standard. Additional standard features include a seven-speaker CD stereo with a USB port that allows the audio system to control an iPod. Bluetooth-based cell phone connectivity is also standard. The optional Technology Package includes a navigation system with traffic-based rerouting and weather updates and a 10-speaker ELS surround-sound system that can play DVD-Audio discs. One of the other big changes to the navigation system for 2009 is that it's now controlled by a large dial in the middle of the dash, whereas the previous system featured a touch-screen. The TSX's trunk measures 12.6 cubic feet, but the sedan comes with a standard split-folding backseat that can expand that space for long items. Under the Hood The front-wheel-drive TSX is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that has lower emissions than the previous engine. The engine makes 201 horsepower a 4-hp decrease compared to the four-cylinder in the prior TSX but more torque (172 pounds-feet with the six-speed manual transmission and 170 pounds-feet with the automatic). Gas mileage with the manual is 20/28 mpg city/highway and the five-speed automatic achieves an estimated 21/30 mpg. The automatic includes shift paddles on the steering wheel that gives the driver control of gear changes. Safety The TSX has antilock brakes, side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags, an electronic stability system and active head restraints for the front seats. The sedan also incorporates Acura's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body technology. ACE is designed to better engage vehicles of different sizes during a crash so the car's crumple zones are fully utilized.
