Acura TSX 2009–2014

The 2009 Acura TSX received a more significant redesign than its predecessor, including increased width, track width, wheelbase, and length. It introduced Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure for enhanced safety. In the U.S., the TSX came standard with luxurious features such as leather seats, dual-zone climate control, power driver's seat with memory, sunroof, Xenon headlights, and a USB port music interface. A technology package offered a navigation system with real-time traffic and weather and a premium 10-speaker sound system supporting DVD audio.

In 2010, Acura introduced a "Sport Wagon" version of the TSX in the U.S., with the I4 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission. The 2010 model also offered an optional 3.5L V6 engine shared with the Acura TL. The TSX received updates in subsequent years, including a facelift for the 2011 model year with redesigned grille and interior enhancements. A Special Edition model was introduced in 2012, featuring sporty exterior elements and sport-minded interior appointments. However, in late 2013, Honda announced the discontinuation of the TSX, which would be replaced by the Acura TLX sedan in 2014.
