The RLX is Acura’s new flagship sedan, replacing the outgoing RL. Like the RL, the RLX features understated styling, a refined ride and handling, and high-end interior amenities.
What's New for 2014
The RLX is all-new this year.
Choosing Your Acura RLX
In Acura tradition, RLX is loaded with standard features including a moonroof, tri-zone climate control, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, heated front seats, and a 10-speaker audio system.
Tech features include a 7-inch touchscreen, an 8-inch information screen, Bluetooth connectivity and keyless entry with push-button start. Adding to the safety of the RLX are seven airbags, supplemented by advanced driver aids like forward collision warning and lane departure warning.
Options for the RLX are divided into packages; each includes the features of the package beneath it.
- Navigation includes GPS guidance.
- Technology adds leather seats, power-retractable side mirrors, acoustic glass and 19-inch noise-reducing wheels.
- Krell includes a Krell ultra-premium 14-speaker audio system and rear sunshades.
- Advance overflows with adaptive cruise control, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, lane-keeping assist, parking sensors, and other extras.
The price of a fully loaded RLX pushes it into direct competition with more accomplished cars. We would chose an RLX with the Navigation or Technology packages.
