Under its hood, the Acura RLX’s 3.5-liter V-6 engine offers 310 horsepower, and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly so you have a comfortable ride on almost any driving surface. Featuring Variable Cylinder Management, the Acura RLX’s engine can “run on six, four or three cylinders, depending on driving conditions,” which improves fuel efficiency.

As you drive the Acura RLX, you’ll notice how well it handles. This is the result of the vehicle’s engineered suspension and undercarriage. Turning tight corners is a breeze, and you’ll always feel cushioned when braking, even for hard stops. Also, the compact design of the Acura RLX means you have no trouble squeezing into small parking spaces, parallel or otherwise. But don’t be fooled by the car’s size: legroom in the backseat measures in at cavernous 38.8 inches.

Besides its handling capabilities and impressive fuel efficiency, the RLX features a built-in navigation system, so you don’t have to fuss with setting up a separate GPS system. Play with the satellite radio or take advantage of the Bluetooth and iPod capabilities. Control all of these functions and more with the RLX Voice Recognition technology.
