The redesigned 2009 Acura TSX gets an average 4.3% price increase and starts at $28,960, up from the 2008 model’s $28,190. That price is for the base model, which comes with leather, sunroof and pretty much everything else standard. There’s only one upgrade: the optional technology package, which features Acura’s 10-speaker premium sound system and a navigation system with real-time traffic and weather. That bumps the price to $32,060. Destination is an additional $715.
While the car retains the same engine as before, the rest has been overhauled. The 2009 is bigger inside and out and has an updated exterior featuring the brand’s new peaked grille. ’s Mike Hanley recently reviewed the TSX and came away impressed, though he was concerned with how much more power and handling is available in some of the TSX’s competitors.
That said, the TSX stays under $30,000, making it more affordable than most of the competition. It goes on sale April 24.
