Acura TSX Engine History
The Acura TSX was introduced in 2003 as a compact luxury sedan, replacing the Acura Integra in the brand's lineup. For the first generation of the TSX (2003-2008), the K24A2 engine was the sole engine option, providing a balance of power, efficiency, and refinement that was well-suited to the TSX's sporty yet premium character.
In subsequent generations of the Acura TSX, Honda continued to use various K-series engines, including the K24A4 and K24Z7, to power the vehicle. However, the 2006 model year marked the peak of the K24A2's use in the TSX, as it was the final year of the first-generation model before the redesign for 2009.
