2019 Acura NSX

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 NSX.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S9)

The 2019 Acura NSX is a two-seat sports car powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission (AM-S9), and it carries an EPA fuel economy rating of 21 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined; the vehicle requires 8.3 quarts of 0W-40 engine oil for maintenance. Within the model's complaint history spanning from 1991 to 2017, the 2019 model year falls into a period of relatively low consumer issues, following the peak complaint year of 2017 which recorded 6 complaints—this places the 2019 NSX among the more reliable iterations of the nameplate in recent memory. This trajectory suggests that by 2019, Acura had addressed many of the early-stage reliability concerns that emerged during the second-generation model's initial launch, resulting in a more mature and dependable product for buyers in this model year.
