2010 Acura TSX Sedan - $29,310 to start and a maximum 25 mpgUS combined with the wagon on the way.
Acura announced today the addition of a TSX sport wagon to its 2011 vehicle lineup. Arriving at Acura dealerships in the Fall of 2010, the TSX sport wagon will be based on the popular TSX sports sedan, which features balanced performance, advanced technology and bold styling.
Little additional information was given but a quick overview of the TSX sedan is in order.
An all-new, clean sheet design was implemented just this year with improvements in nearly every category compared to its predecessor. The second generation TSX with the hopped up 2.4L I4 (25 mpgUS combined) or V6 (21 mpgUS combined) Accord engines appeal to buyers considering a new vehicle within the Entry Premium segment.
Entry Premium Segment
With a price point typically in the high $20,000 to low $30,000 range, the "entry premium" sedan segment represents the gateway to over a dozen automakers. Customers will find the Acura TSX positioned alongside the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, Infiniti G, Lexus IS and Mercedes-Benz C-class. With the entry to a luxury brand comes high expectations and the TSX - together with the award-winning Acura dealership experience - is ready to meet all of them. For 2010, the new TSX V-6 further raises the performance bar for those looking for even better acceleration and handling. While the TSX with 2.4L I-4 competes with vehicles such as the A4 2.0T, 328i, IS 250 and C300, the TSX V-6 targets even more performance minded entry luxury sedans. The TSX V-6 is a strong consideration for customers who will shop the Audi A4 3.2, BMW 335i, and Lexus IS 350.
Although the Acura TSX is better equipped than the 2010 VW Jetta TDI Sportwagen, it may not have the same advantage over the upcoming $29,900 Audi A3. Without a fuel efficient offering, Acura could be in deep trouble with the Wagon given the sedans poor 21/25 ratings vs. the 34 and 35 mpg ratings of the current VW and future Audi competitors?
2011 TSX Sport Wagon details will be released at a later date.
