The new 2012 Acura MDX is unchanged essentially from its 2012 model and the Acura MDX has the beefy 3.7L V6 engine, also pumps out the amazing 300 horsepower to get you to go wherever the road might take you. It is the 47 horsepower jump from an old MDX & with the commendable torque (275pounds feet), which results in the whopping 5000pounds of the towing capability. Whereas towing the trailer for the weekend acceleration might not be very effortless when compared to the RX, still it pulls load with the bravado.

The MDX, Acura’s seven-seat luxury SUV, has been completely re-engineered and redesigned for the first time since its 2010 debut. A Cars.com Best Bet for as long as we’ve awarded the honor, the MDX was ahead of the curve in this category, offering seven seats as standard equipment and luring buyers away from the Lexus RX (which still has only five).

2012 Acura TSX

2012 Acura TSX Preview
The Acura TSX has always been offered only as a sedan. Rumors are afoot, though, that the 2012 Acura TSX may be made available with a coupe body style, too. No firm announcements have been made by Acura, though, so this is still purely in the realm of speculation. Like before, you can expect the newest TSX to be offered in base and V6 trim levels.
Performance
As you conduct research about the 2012 Acura TSX, it helps to get a feel for how previous years’ models have fared in terms of reliability, performance, resale and other areas. This compact, entry-level luxury sedan has always earned decent marks in terms of reliability; JD Power and Associates gave the 2010 model a reliability score of 7.0. The sedan has traditionally included a four-year/50,000-mile Total Luxury Care package which comes with concierge service, 24-hour roadside assistance and travel and emergency services. Resale values for the TSX have generally been middle-of-the-road; the 2012 TSX may be different, though.
Safety Features
When it comes to safety, you can expect the 2012 Acura TSX to truly excel. Previous years’ models have boasted impeccable safety scores in government crash tests; the luxury sedan has also always done well in tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In addition to a bevy of standard safety features and equipment – like anti-lock brakes and six airbags – the 2012 Acura TSX should include a Vehicle Stability Assist System and an Advanced Compatibility Engineering design that pulls collision force away from passengers during accidents.
Improvements
The only rumored improvement that may be in the works for the 2012 Acura TSX is a V8 engine option. At this point, there are no firm facts that confirm or deny this; it could very well be wishful thinking on the part of TSX enthusiasts.
How the 2012 Acura TSX Compares to Other Cars
The compact luxury sedan field is fairly crowded. If there are characteristics of the 2012 Acura TSX that don’t sit well with you, there are plenty of other cars to consider. Similarly priced options include the Volvo S40, the Audi A4 and the Lexus IS 250. More affordable options include the Nissan Altima and the Volkswagen Jetta, both of which can be enhanced with first-rate upgrades.
