Acura RLX
Acura's large sedan was updated and improved in 2018, and it returns this year with very little changes. Boasting the brand's new Diamond Pentagon front fascia, the RLX benefits from a sportier exterior appearance, while its hybrid powertrain provides 377 horsepower, sent to the pavement through an SH-AWD all-wheel drivetrain. Among available features, we find a 14-speaker Krell audio system, head-up display and Milano perforated leather seats.
