Acura TSX Car Brochure (2013)

The 2013 Acura

It’s almost intangible. That feeling of pushing a button and having the
machine react immediately, instinctively — like an extension of you. We get
to this feeling by eliminating excess in pursuit of intuitive, human-focused
technology. We get to it through engineering that doesn’t choose between
form and function. The result is a vehicle that delivers performance and

efficiency. One that takes luxurious technology and wraps it in sophisticated

style. One that elevates not only driver enjoyment, but driver ability.

This is the extraordinary. This is the Acura TSX.

Man. Machine. Connect.

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF ACURA.

2013 TSX

Inspiration for a new generation.

Aggressive, agile and always ready to perform.

The 2013 TSX is a sport sedan you'll truly connect with.
With a bold exterior, a refined interior and
race-inspired engineering throughout, the TSX not only
empowers a new generation of Acura drivers —

it inspires them with every drive.

PERFORMANCE

Innovation-driven

inspiration.

i-VTEC® Engine

Harness all the horsepower you can handle with
the TSX’s intelligent Variable Valve Timing and Lift
Electronic Control (i-VTEC) engine. Race-inspired
to its innovative core, the advanced i-VTEC engine
features a dual-cam profile ona single shaft to
electronically regulate the cam profiles, valve
lifts and opening durations for maximum engine
response and fuel efficiency. In short, it’s aggressive
low-end torque, inspiring high-speed horsepower

and excitement all round.

Horsepower and Torque

Inside the compact 2.4-litre, 16-valve, DOHC,
i-VTEC engine, you'll discover more than just
201 horsepower and experience more than just
172 lb.-ft. of robust torque. You'll learn how
driving a low-emission vehicle with a Tier 2 Bin 5
rating doesn’t have to come at the expense of
power. You'll feel the kind of exhilaration that
comes from lap after lap of engineering
achievement through competitive motorsport
racing. And you'll change your definition of

driving excitement forever.

V6 Engine

Available with the TSX V6 Package, the 3.5-litre,
24-valve VTEC® V6 engine produces

280 horsepower at 6200 rpm, 252 lb.-ft. of torque
at 5000 rpm anda driving experience that will

stay with you throughout the whole day.
6-Speed Manual Transmission

The available close-ratio 6-speed manual
transmission was developed with precisely spaced
gear ratios, allowing you to perform ultra-quick
shifting and your TSX to react to your instincts

just as quickly.

Sequential SportShift® Automatic with
Paddle Shifters

Standard on V6 models, and available on other
TSX trim levels, is the thrill of up-and-down gear
shifting courtesy of real race-inspired paddle-
shifting controls. You'll find the paddle-shifting
controls instinctively mounted just behind the
leather-wrapped steering wheel. And you'll

find them to be the perfect high-performance
complement to the Sequential SportShift

automatic transmission.

Drive-by-Wire Throttle System™

The Drive-by-Wire Throttle System utilizes highly
sophisticated and efficient electronic sensors

to provide continuous engine power. Based on
your driving demands, the system measures
acceleration, engine rpm and road speed to allow
for the optimal engine throttle opening. The result
is smoother, more powerful engine response

when and where you need it.

Sport-tuned Suspension

Four-wheel independent suspension with front
double-wishbone and rear multi-link design give
the TSX its razor-sharp handling and fluid ride.
The suspension is sport-tuned to reduce overall
vehicle lift, dive and body roll, while enhancing
the vehicle’s agility and responsiveness. It all adds
up toacar that can handle the most spirited of

drivers and driving conditions.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)

When it comes to maneuverability, the Electronic
Power Steering in the TSX has you covered at any
speed. From the stable, on-centre feel at highway
speeds, to the uncompromising response in
curves, to the precise handling needed to navigate
city streets, EPS reacts to your every move with

ease so you can react to the road with confidence.

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA°)

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Traction Control
provides you with added stability and control
during acceleration, braking and cornering.

The VSA system detects and corrects understeer
and oversteer situations and, in an instant,
electronically reduces throttle or applies braking
to individual wheels to compensate based on

actual driving conditions.

Available 18-inch Wheels

For performance with presence, the TSX V6
model prowls on large 18-inch aluminum-alloy
wheels that have been specifically designed to
complement its aggressive exterior and ultra-

sharp street style.

HANDLING

Confidence at every turn.

HandsFreeLink™ Connectivity

Program and link your Bluetooth®-enabled
wireless device to the HandsFreeLink interface
to make, receive and transfer calls from your
mobile phone without interruption. Provided
your mobile phone is located inside the cabin,
calling numbers will be displayed, your phone
will respond to voice activation and you will hear
the caller’s voice over the TSX’s audio system.
Plus, the system operates in English or French
and is capable of integrating up to six different
compatible mobile phones, meaning you can
stay in touch without having to lose your grip

on the wheel.

Acura Navigation System

With the available satellite-linked navigation
system, your TSX experience really does become
more about the journey than the destination.
Pinpoint your location almost anywhere in North
America, or get real-time driving directions by voice
or moving-map display. The system is equipped
with bilingual voice-recognition software,
recognizing up to 600 verbal commands, so
simply ask for the most direct route, or to find
analternate one, or even to suggest a restaurant
using the Zagat Survey® ratings. And with the
available 60 GB hard disk drive (HDD) in the
Technology Package," you'll find you'll get your

answers at an even greater speed.
*Available only on the Technology Package.

Voice-Activated Control

Most of the functions and features that are part
of the available Technology Package* can be
controlled just by the sound of your voice. Press
the steering wheel-mounted voice control button
to set, or adjust, the dual-zone automatic climate
control system or explore the world of convenience

offered through your navigation system.
*Available only on the Technology Package.

U.S. model shown.

Available Acura/ELS Surround®
Premium Audio System*

Acura’s engineers teamed with GRAMMY®
Award-winning sound engineer and producer
Elliot Scheiner to develop the Acura/ELS Surround
Premium Audio System specifically for the TSX.
After measuring the acoustic architecture inside
the cabin, 10 speakers* were strategically placed
to optimize the 415-watts of dynamic surround
sound. The Premium Audio System also features
AM/FM/SiriusXM,"" MP3/WMA capability and an
in-dash CD, DVD-Audio player and DTS® changer.
The result is unprecedented audio quality and

clarity and perfect harmony inside your TSX.

*Available only on the Technology Package.

"Includes a no-charge trial for 3 months, beyond which service
fees apply. Available in 10 Canadian provinces and 48 contiguous
U.S. states. See terms and conditions at www.siriusxm.ca.

TECHNOLOGY

A more personal connection.

Bluetooth® Audio Interface

Standard in the TSX is the Bluetooth-enabled
audio interface — the ultimate in wireless
connectivity. Now you can bring all your favourite

music from home but leave the wires behind.
MP3/USB** Audio Playback

Conveniently located next to the 12-volt power
outlet in the centre console, the USB device
connector lets you plug ina variety of compatible,
portable MP3 audio players, like an iPod®, and still
control the playback volume and track selection

from your steering wheel-mounted controls.

**Only compatible with certain devices.

Rearview Camera*

Available with the Technology Package, the
rearview camera allows you to reverse with
confidence by showing a colour image of the
area directly behind the vehicle on your navigation
system screen. Even if the navigation system

is turned off, the camera intuitively activates

automatically when you engage reverse.

*Does not replace the driver's responsibility to exercise due care
while driving.

INTELLIGENT DESIGN

Sophistication for a modern generation.

Accelerated Style

Next-generation aerodynamics, design and style
meet everything the new generation of sedan
drivers want. Smooth-sculpted exterior. Flawlessly
chiselled lines. Sleek front and rear bumper
treatments. Anda modern street style that inspires

not only those who drive it, but also those

who drive by it.

U.S. model shown,

Modern Fit and Finish

With such a stylish exterior design, the TSX was
destined to have a refined interior to match. The
perforated leather-trimmed interior with titanium
accents creates an air befitting an advanced
luxury sport sedan, while the leather-wrapped
steering wheel and shift knob offer you a classic
touch of sophistication. And the improved cabin
sound insulation gives you the perfect space to

reflect on your new found passion for driving.

Advanced Seating

Ease yourself into the heated, tightly bolstered
front seats, and you'll quickly realize that the TSX
was designed with comfort as well as performance
in mind. For drivers, finding the ideal seating
position happens at the push of a button, using
the 8-way power-adjustable seat with lumbar
support and 2-position memory system. For the
front passenger, there’s a 4-way power-adjustable
seat. And for everyone’s convenience there’s

a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback to easily

store whatever your next journey calls for.

Dual-Zone Climate Control

Control is never an issue in the TSX, even when

it comes to the climate. Driver and front seat
passengers get separate temperature controls

to ensure their individual comfort. Even under
changing outside conditions, the climate control
system will maintain the desired temperature level
in each zone. The available rear vents ensure that
rear passengers are just as comfortable and that

air is distributed evenly throughout the cabin.

Six Airbags

The TSX’s six airbags are designed and positioned
to help protect all occupants inside the cabin.
Depending on the point and force of impact, the
TSX will deploy the following: dual-stage, dual-
threshold front airbags (SRS) that activate at one
of two rates based on the severity of the impact;
front side airbags with the innovative passenger-
side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS)
that will not release if the system detects a
small-sized or improperly positioned passenger;
and side curtain airbags with a state-of-the-art

rollover sensor.

ACE™ Body Structure

The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE)
body structure utilizes a high-tensile, high-
efficiency steel body structure to provide enhanced
protection from a multi-directional collision.
ACE reduces the concentrated force of a frontal
impact by absorbing energy over a large area and
dispersing it away from the vehicle occupants.
Additionally, ACE is designed to help reduce
occupant injuries caused in collisions between

vehicles of different sizes.

Maintenance Minder™ System

Instead of following a traditional kilometre-and-
calendar maintenance schedule, your TSX follows
your driving habits. The advanced Maintenance
Minder system calculates service needs by taking
into account engine revolutions, stop-and-go
traffic experience, weather extremes and the
frequency of short trips to determine when your
next service visit should be. The system also
helps coordinate oil-servicing dates and other

routine maintenance.

ABS with EBD

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps
maintain steering control when braking hard on
wet, slippery or loose surfaces, and Electronic
Brake-force Distribution (EBD) balances braking
forces at each wheel to help compensate for
passenger weight distribution inside the cabin.
Plus, there’s a Brake Assist feature that senses

a panic stop and applies maximum braking power

to help you stop quickly and safely.

SAFETY

Safety Through Innovation.

At Acura, Safety Through Innovation is based on the

idea that an advanced driving experience starts with

advanced safety features. This guiding principle is

reinforced through the extensive number of standard

safety features and use of innovative technologies

you'll find in all Acura vehicles.

Active Head Restraints

Moving both forward and upward, the TSX’s
active head restraints are designed to restrain
head motion in the event of a rear impact and

minimize neck injury.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Correct tire pressure not only gives you a better
connection to the road, it gives you better
overall performance, fuel efficiency and safety.
Enter the advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS), which continually monitors the

air pressure in each tire. If pressure drops in any tire,

a transponder attached to the wheel’s valve
stem transmits the information to a receiver and

a warning appears on your instrument panel.
High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlights

See the city ina brilliant new light with the TSX’s
High-Intensity Discharge low-beam headlights.
Not only do HID headlights cast a brighter light
than conventional headlights, but the lenses are
also designed to produce a more precise, focused
beam to increase your ability to see what lies ahead.
And with automatic headlights and fog lights now
featured on every trim level, you'll see more no

matter what weather conditions you're driving in.
