The Acura ZDX is the brand’s four-door sports coupe, combining dramatic coupe-like styling with the functionality of a sedan and the versatility of a sport utility vehicle. Along with a bold road presence and cutting edge technologies, it offers a luxurious interior, with hand-stitched leather on the dash, center console and door panels.

About 2012 Acura ZDX [Suvs]

The 2012 ZDX is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 that produces 300 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed automatic with manual shift control is the only available transmission.

The EPA estimates fuel economy at 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway and 19 mpg in combined driving.

The ZDX’s maximum towing capacity is an underwhelming 1,500 pounds.

The 2012 Acura ZDX features an appealing cabin, notable for its intriguing design and liberal use of leather. Controls are arranged similarly to other Acuras, but a monolithic center stack that fades to black when the car is powered down is unique to the ZDX.

There is an abundance of buttons within reach of the driver, but for the most part, operation is fairly simple. Adding in the Technology or Advanced packages tends to clutter the center stack’s appearance, though.

Hand-stitched leather graces the dash pad, center console and door panels for an upscale look and feel.

The Acura RDX is Acura’s first compact crossover SUV, taking over from the MDX as Acura’s entry-level crossover SUV, as the MDX grew in size and price.

The 2012 Acura RDX’s audible turbo whooshing sound is a pleasant departure from the standard six-cylinder soundtracks in this segment. Turbo lag is minimal and power plentiful enough to make you question its relatively paltry horsepower number.

Buyers who want an SUV that combines comfort, performance and value will find that the 2012 Acura MDX is a great pick. In fact, the 2012 MDX does such a good job splitting the difference between luxury, sport and price that we named it our 2012 Best Luxury Midsize SUV for Families.

The Acura MDX, or Honda MDX as known in Japan and Australia (only the first generation was imported), is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by the Japanese automaker Acura since the 2001 model year.

The alphanumeric moniker stands for “Multi-Dimensional luxury”. It is built by Honda of Canada Manufacturing Ltd. in Alliston, Ontario, Canada. It was introduced in late 2000 as a 2001 model, replacing the slow-selling U.S.-only body-on-frame SLX, based on the Isuzu Trooper. I

The 2012 Acura TL is a happy medium for shoppers looking for a competent daily driver and powerful sport sedan. Reviewers think its spacious interior and standard features, like Bluetooth and an iPod connection, make it a good value in the upscale midsize car segment.

“It’s ideal for those wanting an athletic and aggressive car that nonetheless treats its occupants to a reasonably smooth ride and an accommodating interior with a generous assortment of high-tech features,” says Forbes.

Changes for 2012 start, of course, with toning down the TL’s divisive grille. Yes, the badge blade and the intake aperture remain roughly the same as before, but the clunky silver surround is gone, replaced by a thin chrome frame and a new body-color trim piece between the grille and hood.

The headlight innards are now painted black instead of silver, and the bevels in the front and rear bumpers have been raised. The supplemental air intakes in the front fascia feature new detailing.

The Acura TL is a mid-size sedan manufactured by Acura. It was introduced in 1995 to supplant the Acura Vigor and was rebadged for the Japanese-market from 1996 to 2000 as the Honda Inspire and from 1996 to 2004 as the Honda Saber.

The TL was Acura’s best-selling model until it was outsold most recently by the MDX since 2007, and it has ranked as the second best-selling luxury sedan in the United States behind the BMW 3 Series.

Four generations of the Acura TL have been produced to date, with the latest fourth generation TL premiering in 2008 as a 2009 model. The current version is not sold in Japan.

About 2012 Acura TSX [Sedans]

The 2012 Acura TSX rides calmly and quietly at highway speeds. Power from the four-cylinder engine is adequate, though compared to other entry-level luxury cars, it leaves the TSX with a somewhat uninspired driving character.

The V6 and Sport Wagon are more spirited thanks to their sport-tuned suspensions, and — in the case of the V6 — gutsier acceleration.

Both transmissions work well; the manual is easy to work thanks to a short-travel clutch and linear throttle tip-in, while the automatic provides pleasantly smooth shifts.

The TSX is badge engineered from the CL-series Accord (also known as the European Accord or JDM Accord) sold in Europe, Japan, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand] The TSX initially had a restyled interior and different suspension tuning than the European Accord when it was introduced; however since 2008 the interior is now standardized for all three markets.

In Australia & New Zealand, the CL-series is sold as the Accord Euro in the smaller mid-size bracket, where the American-market Accord is sold in the large car category.

In North America, the TSX is sold alongside the mid-size luxury Acura TL, which is based on the American-market Accord.

For the 2012 model, Honda offered new front and rear styling on the Acura TL.

Acura updated the controversial “beak” insert in the front grill, replacing it with a smaller insert that flows better with the headlights and creates a sleeker profile.

Aside from cosmetic changes, the new TL is now equipped with Honda’s 6-speed automatic transmission to improve performance and efficiency. This transmission features downshift rev-matching with throttle blip and the ability to downshift 2 gears at a time.

Additional new features include ventilated seats, new 60GB HDD, blind-spot information system, and upgraded wheels. The 2012 TL retains both the base 3.5L 280 hp (209 kW) 254 lb·ft (344 N·m) and

the SH-AWD models’ 3.7L 305 hp (227 kW) 273 lb·ft (370 N·m) engines but now gets 2 mpg more in the city (20 mpg) and 3 mpg more on the highway (29 mpg), thanks to less engine friction and the 6 speed automatic transmission.

Every 2012 Acura TL comes with antilock disc brakes with brake assist, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front restraints. In Edmunds brake testing, a base TL came to a stop from 60 mph in a distance of 122 feet, while the TL SH-AWD did a little better, at 120 feet. Both of these are average for the class.

The 2012 Acura RL is a midsize luxury sedan that is available in three trim levels (though the two upper “trims” are really just a pair of packages).

About 2012 Acura RL [Sedans]

The Acura RL is the flagship car for North American luxury brand Acura — marketed in Japan as the Honda Legend and manufactured in Saitama, Japan.

The alpha call-sign “RL” is an abbreviation for “Refined Luxury.”
The first-generation Acura RL was a similarly rebadged version of the third-generation Honda Legend, and was first introduced into the North American market in 1996 to replace the second-generation Acura Legend.

The current second-generation Acura RL is a rebadged version of the fourth-generation Honda Legend and was introduced into the North American market in September 2004 as a 2005 model. This iteration of the RL received an extensive mid-generational facelift for the 2009 model year.

The 2012 Acura RL is a capable luxury sedan, but newer competitors are more appealing overall. All-wheel drive; wealth of standard features; high-class interior; excellent build quality; superb stereo; smart technology interface.

The 2012 Acura RL’s rather conservative appearance might lead some to assume that the ride quality and driving dynamics may be more akin to an overly softened luxury car, but they’d be wrong. The ride quality is balanced between luxurious compliance and sporty agility.

Thanks to the SH-AWD system, the RL is one of the more entertaining choices in the segment. The RL’s V6 engine revs smoothly and provides respectably quick acceleration.
