From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fully redesigned 2009 Acura TSX made its debut at the 2008 New York International Auto Show on April 11, 2008.[7] The new TSX uses a base engine similar to that of the 2008 TSX. The engine is a 2.4-litre in-line 4 cylinder engine reaching 201 hp (150 kW) and 172 lb·ft (233 N·m) torque.[8] While the rated power of the new TSX engine is 4 hp (3.0 kW) lower than that of the 2008 model, Acura says the new engine distributes power across a much wider rpm range, which along with the increased torque, provides an increased feeling of power for the driver. The transmission choices remain 5-speed automatic and 6-speed manual, though the automatic version now comes with steering-wheel paddle shifters for optional manual shifting.

In addition to the 2.4-litre engine, the Acura TSX also receives Honda’s 2.2-litre i-DTEC clean turbodiesel engine in the 2010 calendar year. The i-DTEC engine features an advanced NOx emissions reduction system that does not require urea additives to meet emissions standards in all 50 states.[9][10] While no official numbers on the TSX’s new diesel engine have been released, some speculation places the engine at roughly 180 hp (134 kW).[11] The i-DTEC engine to be used in the Euro Accord is rated at 148 hp (110 kW) and 258 lb·ft (350 N·m) torque,[12] but the TSX’s version has higher output.
