Acura RL

Price $64,690
Fuel consumption 8.2 – 12.2 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 77%(view ratings)
With a sedate yet timeless exterior, the RL is Acura’s most luxurious sedan. It features a 3.7L V6 that is as smooth as it is sophisticated, in addition to excellent soundproofing and a suspension designed for comfort. Its AWD system, which uses torque vectoring to counter any potential loss of grip, has been included on several of the brand’s vehicles. As expected, the quality of assembly and fit and trim is impeccable.
