It’s in Montreal that Acura will reveal its luxury sedan, the RLX. It replaces the RL whose sales were merely a trickle here. Instead of creating a “Wow!” factor through its bodywork, the RLX bets on high levels of luxury and comfort to seduce buyers.
Its engine is a 3.5 litre V6, good for 310 horsepower, backed by an all-wheel-drive drive train that promises to be up to the task. Indeed, some versions will feature the Sport Hybrid Super Handling All Wheel Drive (Sport Hybrid SH-AWD), a very sophisticated system that features electric motors. While in the high-tech gear, let’s mention the P-AWS, another impressive system that allows the rear wheels to steer.
