The appearance of the first generation of Acura TSX cars dates back to 2004. Then the model did not differ from Honda Accord. The car was equipped with a 2.4-liter engine, the power of which was 204 "horses". In addition, the new car also had its own personal characteristics, such as aggressive design, fine aerodynamic elements and headlights of the highest quality. All this made him a serious player in the sedan market.
The latest modification of the Acura TSX is a luxury sedan with front-wheel drive. Under its hood is the same petrol single-row "four", as in the debut version. It should be noted that the power unit is equipped with a special system that controls variable fuel injection. To name the engine of the model is too economical to fail, because for a hundred it requires 11.5 liters of gasoline when operating in city conditions and 8.3 liters while driving on the highway. As for the transmission, in the Akura TLC, as a rule, 6-step mechanics is installed. However, for the model there is also an automatic box for five gears. The movement of the car is very smooth and soft. This is achieved through a two-link independent suspension with double wishbones. It allows you to overcome heavy bends, including rectangular, even at speed.
Now let's talk about the interior of the car. The interior in this model is luxuriously and elegantly furnished. The company-manufacturer thereby confirms that Acura TSX is really a luxury brand. Special attention here deserves a sports steering wheel, on which there are buttons, designed to control cruise control, as well as an audio system. A pleasant stay in the car is achieved in many ways and due to the leather-trimmed seats. The front of them can take two positions. Advanced technologies have been used to equip the salon: we note the possibility of touch-open doors, automatic climate control for two zones and an intuitive control system. In the roof there is an electric transparent hatch.
One of the variations of the model is the Acura TSX Wagon. Its design and impetuous nature, it is very similar to the standard version of the car. Designers have raised wheel arches here, which made it possible to conveniently place under them 17-inch aluminum wheels. Inside the station wagon can comfortably accommodate five passengers. Despite the fact that Wagon is positioned by the manufacturer as a sports car, in terms of safety it fully meets the requirements that are imposed on family vehicles. In particular, there is a set of airbags, as well as side curtains, which are inflated. The system also includes ABS and the function of stabilization of peripheral wheels. The model has high-quality tires, which provide a strong and reliable grip on the road.
Despite the apparent external resemblance to the Honda Accord car, the Acura TSX price is slightly higher. It starts with a mark of 26.6 thousand US dollars. On the other hand, for such a classy car it is quite normal.
