The 2011 model year is a very important one for Acura’s TSX model lineup, as it not only sees a refresh of the already familiar sport sedan, but also marks the introduction of a very stylish wagon version. Never before has it been so easy to be able to enjoy so much performance, style, luxury and practicality from your next new car.

The 2011 Acura TSX still is the perfect embodiment of Acura’s commitment to offering tremendous value for your money in the luxury car market. Prices for the 2011 Acura TSX sedan start at $29,610 with the wagon coming in at just $30,960 in basic trim.** But if you know Acura, you know that there is nothing “basic” about any of their cars, regardless of trim level.

All 2011 Acura TSX sedans and wagons come equipped with leather seating, dual-zone climate control, power windows, power door locks, a power moonroof, Bluetooth, USB/iPod integration, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamps for terrific nighttime visibility, as well as a crisp-sounding 360-watt, 7-speaker premium audio system. Both TSX body styles feature a refined and powerful, yet highly efficient 201-horsepower, 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder engine as standard that returns EPA fuel economy estimates of 22 city/31 highway* when mated with the 5-speed automatic.

While 2011 TSX sedan buyers can still specify their new cars with a slick 6-speed manual transmission, the TSX wagon is afforded the extra convenience of the automatic transmission. The wagon also isn’t available with the 2011 TSX sedan’s optional 3.5 liter, 280 horsepower V6 engine borrowed from the larger TL sport sedan. EPA estimates for the 3.5 liter V6 are 19 city/28 highway* and prices for the 2011 TSX V6 start at $35,150.**

Beyond color choices for the exterior and interior, your only other decision when buying a 2011 Acura TSX in sedan or wagon form is whether or not you want the opulence afforded by the Technology Package. This very appealing option includes Acura’s peerless in-dash navigation system that remains the easiest-to-use system in the industry and features a Zagat Restaurant Rating Guide, as well as real-time traffic and weather updates. Acura was the first automaker to offer in-dash navigation in the United States, so if you suspect that their system is a cut above the rest, you’re right.

The Technology Package also includes a back-up camera, the mind-blowing Acura/ELS 10-speaker DVD audio system with voice control for your song library (15GB or 3,600 songs), voice activation control, a GPS-linked solar sensing climate control and a Phonebook function for your Bluetooth-connected cell phone via the center screen, which was made larger for the 2011 model year. 2011 Acura TSX wagon models with the Technology Package also get a handy power rear liftgate like you might find in many luxury SUVs.

As with every 2011 Acura, all models come with the peace of mind that comes with 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage and 6-year/70,000-mile Powertrain coverage. But it’s not likely that you’ll need your warranty if the latest quality surveys from J.D. Power and Consumer Reports are to be believed.

So what’s missing in all of this? You, behind the wheel of a new 2011 Acura TSX sedan or wagon.
