A new front fascia, updated grille and new 18-inch wheels are the most obvious changes to the RL for 2011. Inside there are new front and rear headrests, revised seat stitching, a new gauge cluster and updated wood grain. Functional changes to the navigation system include improved telephone dialing and voice recognition. Parking sensors and power-folding side mirrors are also new.

Underneath there's a new six-speed automatic transmission with sequential shifting. The new gearbox provides better acceleration and improved highway fuel economy. Subframe and transmission mounts have also been revised.

A midcycle refresh of the TSX includes styling updates, interior tweaks and the introduction of a Sport Wagon style.

Exterior changes include new front and rear fascias, a new front grille, revised taillights and new 17-inch wheels. Interior updates include new trim, seat stitching and rear air-conditioning vents. There's now a 60GB hard-drive-based navigation system with a color screen. A 15GB hard-drive audio system replaces the previous six-disc CD changer. Updates to the TSX's Bluetooth system improve voice recognition. LED interior lights combine with additional underbody sound insulation and an acoustic glass windshield to reduce interior noise.
