2018 Acura RLX

As the dynamic flagship for the Acura Division, the Acura RLX is one of the most sophisticated touring sedans on the road, blending smooth power and responsive handling with cutting-edge technologies and luxurious appointments. The front-wheel drive RLX is powered by a 310-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM); VCM helps improve fuel efficiency by operating on one bank of three cylinders when less engine power is required. A new advanced ten-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle shifters is standard. Agile Handling Assist and Amplitude-Reactive Dampers enhance handling characteristics, while a Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) system features the world's first independent left/right rear-wheel steering-angle control system, for excellent handling and stability at varying speeds. Every RLX is outfitted with 19-inch aluminum wheels, "Jewel Eye" LED headlights and a power moonroof; interior comforts include heated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, HD/satellite radio, voice-activated navigation, HandsFreeLink (Bluetooth) wireless connectivity/audio streaming, USB port, smartphone integration and a 7-inch touchscreen display. Safety features include four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with integrated traction control and a Multi-View Rear Camera, as well as seven airbags; additional driver assistance technologies, including Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Information and a Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, are also standard. The Acura RLX is redesigned for 2018. It features fresh exterior styling, including Acura's new signature diamond pentagon grille, along with an upgraded interior and an advanced ten-speed automatic transmission.
