2011 Acura TSX Wagon

We're smack in the midst of auto show season, just coming off the back of the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and now with the 2010 New York Auto Show upon us. The latest car to be unveiled there today is the 2011 Acura TSX Wagon, which is set to go on sale in late fall.

We told you back in October that Acura had given the TSX Sport Wagon the green light, and speculated then that it would share much of its running gear with the Honda Accord Euro Tourer, its corporate doppelganger.

The Acura TSX Wagon features a rear cargo space that includes a removable side panel to accommodate wider items such as golf clubs and integrated under-floor bins for hidden storage. The vehicle’s overall length is 189.4 inches and its wheelbase stands at 106.5 inches. Inside, there’s generous space for five adults.

Although the TSX Sedan is offered with a V-6 option, the new TSX Wagon will only come with the base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and Sequential SportShift five-speed automatic transmission fit with steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. Peak output should fall in at 201 horsepower and fuel economy could be as high as 30 mpg on the highway.

To enhance the driving experience, the Acura TSX wagon features an optional hard disk drive-based navigation system with an 8 inch display, real time traffic and weather updates, a premium audio system and Bluetooth connectivity.

    Any bets that this one model outsells both the ZDX and the Crosstour?

    R U sure Acura said that it will get the 4 & 6 cylinders? What I'm reading @ www.acuranews.com says that the current TSX has those 2 engines but does not say if the wagon will get it ...

    I am sure that it will outsell the ZDX as this will be like 2/3rds the price.
    However, the CrossTour currently is outselling the TSX so I doubt that the wagon variant will outsell it ... unless you mean the whole TSX line outselling the CrossTour.

    Ghidrah--nothing is known for sure yet on the TSX wagon, but it's at least possible that the wagon will have the same powertrain options as the sedan. We'll get the full details at the New York show or shortly before.

    If Acura wants to be seriously competitive against top selling sport wagons like the BMW 3-series Touring and Audi A4 Avant they should DEFINETELY offer a stick-shift, SH-AWD, and most importantly; a 280 hp 3.5L V6 to take advantage of the fact that the Bimmer/Audi only come in 230hp 3.0L/ 211 hp 2.0L engines.
    I doubt this car will outsell Acura's popular RDX and MDX crossovers, but i wouldnt be surprised if it beats that ugly ZDX in sales numbers.

    Too bad we will never get a diesel version, because then I might actually consider one.

    @Dan: I agree with you in that Acura really ought to offer SH-AWD with a manual transmission on the TSX just as it is offered on the TL, not only to be more competitive against other luxury brands, but also to make a clearer distinction from the Euro/Japanese Accord. I think it would do a lot to dispel common beliefs about how Acuras are "just glorified Hondas" if Acura really desires to become a tier-1 luxury brand.

    This should be an Accord and have AWD. I drive a Pilot now for business, but as I am self-employed the gas is killing me. I am sure this car will get better mpg and still carry most of what I want. An AWD van would be better, which is what I had before the Pilot. The Pilot so far has had no problems and when it became necessary to replace my wife's car I bought her an Accord. So, I need room, good MPG and reliability which this car should offer at a price I could afford. The Crosstour not only does not very good utilization of its interior for my needs.......its BUTT ugly!

    Good: Acura is adding variety
    Bad: lack of options that Acura already has available

    No Manual Transmission?
    Leave it to Honda/Acura to screw up a good thing...

    Not surprised, but still very disappointed there will be no 2011 TSX wagon with a 6MT. It would have been at the very top of the list to replace my '04 TSX sedan. I know we're a niche market, but come on! The vehicle already exists in other markets as a Honda, so the engineering's already paid for.
