"The 2011 TSX offers even better looks, more owner relevant technology and
class-leading fuel economy," said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales.
"In short, the best entry luxury car just got better."
Acura's philosophy
of smart luxury is well evidenced by the combination of great looks, a luxury
interior available with a wide variety of technology features, and excellent
safety - all for an exceptional level of value. Thanks to this great mix of
attributes, the TSX has the largest percentage of buyers under 30 among all
luxury sedans and has remained the volume leader within its segment according to
Global Insight.
Exterior Updates
On the outside, the 2011
TSX receives a new front fascia, revised chin spoiler, new fog light garnish
assembly and an updated grill. The updated front end teams with new underbody
panels to improve aerodynamics. At the rear, revised taillights and an updated
rear license plate garnish add more visual appeal for the TSX.
The split
5-spoke 18-inch aluminum wheels remain standard with the 3.5L V-6 model.
Interior
Inside, the 2011 Acura TSX receives a host of visual
upgrades in the form of revised styling for the center console, darker trim
pieces, brightly finished door handles, an updated parking brake handle and new
garnishes for the steering wheel. In addition, new is contrasting-color
stitching for the leather seats, door armrests and center console. Rear seat
occupants will enjoy added comfort thanks to the addition of heating/cooling
vents mounted at the rear of the center console.
Acura is known for its
outstanding array of user relevant technology, and the 2011 TSX further expands
on this concept. New for 2011, the TSX with available Technology Package now
includes an LED backlit full VGA navigation screen (that generates 400-percent
better resolution than before), improved navigation system functions (faster
performance, improved search ability and expanded map coverage), Song By Voice
(SBV) user interface, a 60-gigabyte hard disk drive (HDD) system, and the
ability to download 15-gigabytes of personal music to the HDD system. Now with
the ability to store more than 3,500 songs, there is no longer a need to carry
around bulky CDs.
Acura has always put much emphasis on building an
interior that is exceptionally quiet, and for 2011 the TSX has even greater
cabin serenity thanks to items such as a new acoustic glass front windshield,
even thicker side glass, increased use of sound-deadening insulation, improved
floor mats and new underfloor covers.
