Did they make a V6 TSX?

No, Acura did not produce a V6 version of the TSX sedan. The Acura TSX was only available with a 4-cylinder engine during its production run from 2003 to 2014.


Detailed Explanation


The Acura TSX was introduced in 2003 as a compact luxury sedan to slot between the smaller Acura Integra and the larger Acura TL in Acura's lineup. Throughout its production, the TSX was powered by a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, never offering a V6 option.


The 4-cylinder engine in the TSX produced between 200-201 horsepower, depending on the model year. This provided adequate power and performance for the TSX, which was positioned as a more affordable and efficient alternative to the V6-powered TL.


Acura likely decided against offering a V6 version of the TSX in order to maintain a clear separation between the TSX and TL models in terms of size, power, and price point. The TSX was meant to be the more compact and fuel-efficient option, while the TL filled the role of the brand's midsize luxury sedan with a more powerful V6 engine.


So in summary, the Acura TSX was exclusively available with a 4-cylinder engine throughout its 11-year production run, and Acura never introduced a V6-powered variant of this compact luxury sedan.
