Some notable changes include silver door handles, a smart steering wheel, darker trims on the center stack, roomy seats, supportive seats, and a set of vents for heating and cooling. In terms of room, the station wagon did its best to offer ample space for storage and comfortable seating. With the seat down, you get about 14 cubic feet of space.

The TSX comes with two engine choices: a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission and a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission. 

You get 201 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque with the four-cylinder engine, whereas the V-6 generates 280 hp and 254 lb-ft. The smooth steering can be handled with ease for a comfortable drive. Additionally, you can expect a fuel economy of 22 mpg within city limits, 31 mpg on the highway, and combined mileage of 26 mpg. With the V-6, the car can go from 0 to 60mph in just 6.4 seconds.

Ideal family car

The Acura TSX is a five-seater car. The front-seat legroom is adequate for adults, and the rear seats offer less legroom but are ideal for kids. The car is equipped with a USB port and Bluetooth connectivity to offer entertainment for road trips. The power-driven moonroof is another attractive feature that keeps kids occupied and distracted on longer journeys. Additionally, you can get a 10-speaker audio system from Acura/ELS with satellite radio, however, these are optional features. The navigation system on the dashboard minimizes the chances of you losing your way on the road. Although a couple of knobs and buttons can make the dashboard look cluttered, these can be easy-to-use alternatives for touchscreen. Further, you get standard safety features in the car, like antilock brakes, stability and traction control, active front head restraints, front-seat side airbags, and side curtain airbags. You can get a rearview camera if you opt for the Technology package. These features make the Acura TSX ideal for small families.
