3.5-Liter Engine
The engine for all RLX models is a 3.5-liter, 310-horsepower V-6 engine that features Direct Gas Injection, Variable Cylinder Management™ and the Acura i-VTEC® system.
Precision All-Wheel Drive
Handling reaches a turning point with Precision All-Wheel Steer™ (P-AWS], which adjusts rear wheel toe angles to complement the front wheels. They work in-phase for highway-speed stability, counter-steer to decrease turning radius, and toe in while braking to decrease stopping distance.
10-Speed Automatic Transmission
The RLX P-AWS model is equipped with an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, the first of its kind for front-wheel-drive vehicles. Engineered for high efficiency with low internal inertia and an exceptionally wide ratio range, the 10-speed automatic significantly improves RLX acceleration response.
Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters
The steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters deliver quick, precise single or multiple shifts at your fingertips with automatic operation returning when reaching a steady speed. Pushing "Sport" on the Electronic Gear Selector puts the transmission into full manual mode, where you'll have complete control in instances such as high-performance or hilly driving.
The Sport Hybrid Effect
Electric power accelerates the RLX—and your pulse—in an instant. The 3-motor Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® lets you experience unparalleled control and on-rails handling that gives you an unforgettable connection with the road.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive
The original Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system by Acura stunned the world with its ability to direct engine power from the front to rear and side to side. The industry even coined the term “torque vectoring” to describe its unique abilities. The rear electric motors of the hybrid system are a major advancement to this leading edge handling system.
NSX-Inspired Performance
The 2018 RLX is the most sophisticated and best-performing Acura sedan ever. The 377 horsepower Sport Hybrid shares NSX supercar technology such as 3-Motor Sport-Hybrid System, 341 lb-ft of torque, 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission, Electronic Torque Vectoring and Double Wishbone Front Suspension.
Diamond Pentagon Grille
A centerpiece of the RLX is the signature Diamond Pentagon grille. The bold shape with intricate detail results in a clean appearance that signals an uptick in attitude.
Striking Rear Design
An all-new rear fascia includes a diffuser flanked by integrated chrome exhaust outlets. Additional chrome accents accompany taillights redesigned with LED "pipe" lighting for a distinctive signature when braking.
Pristine Premium Paint
The 2018 RLX provides two new vivid color options. The paint process behind Brilliant Red Pearl and Majestic Black Pearl involves the use of successively tinted clear coats that result in a noticeably rich luster.
Sport Contrast Wheels
All RLX models sport 19-inch wheels. An exclusive design for P-AWS™ and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® models, each feature a combination black paint and machined finish for a high-contrast appearance.
New Chiseled Hood
Bold new front styling is carried along the hood toward the rear with dramatic sweeping creases from the upper grille corners to the windshield pillars. A structural backbone is implied by the strong centerline.
Impressively Spacious Cabin
An open, elegant space for the driver and front passenger is possible in part thanks to a minimally intrusive transverse engine layout. Combined with premium materials, the flat design of the Electronic Gear Selector rounds out cabin craftsmanship.
Exceptional Legroom
This midsize luxury sedan provides exceptional rear passenger legroom exceeding European and Asian competitors and even rivaling many full-size luxury sedans—all without sacrificing trunk space.
Performance Seat Details
The restyled 2018 RLX seats state performance. Now available in four premium colors, each offers contrast stitching and piping as well as soft perforated Milano Leather that extends to the upper bolsters.
Precision Crafted Refinement
Tactile elements heighten the RLX experience. Woodgrain and metallic finishes complement each interior color with supple leather sweeping the cabin. Contrast stitching and illuminated storage round out the refinement.
Smart Cabin Storage
A soft, double-hinged armrest enables easy storage access for both driver and front passenger. The illuminated center console also has a convenient sliding smartphone tray with easy access to USB and charging ports.
Audiophiles, Rejoice
Enjoy either the unparalleled Krell® Audio System or the exclusive ELS Studio® Premium Audio System, each with a 14-speaker layout. Designed for the true audiophile, creating a truly immersive sound experience.
Krell Audio System
Krell® Audio invokes three-dimensional sound exclusively for RLX. Speakers made from Zylon—the world's strongest super fiber—reveal the finest musical detail. An 8-inch carbon fiber subwoofer provides rock-solid bass.
Advance Package.
ELS Studio Premium Audio System
Tuned by Grammy Award-winning producer Elliot Scheiner, the ELS Studio® Premium Audio System transforms your RLX into a personal soundstage. Stimulate your senses with extended frequency range, lower distortion and enhanced clarity.
Technology Package.
Head-Up Display
View speedometer readings, power distribution, warnings and other key vehicle information - each as a transparent image projected onto the lower windshield.
Standard with Sport Hybrid.
GPS-Linked Climate Control
A GPS-linked solar sensing system measures the sun's position and intensity to adjust cabin temperatures. Tri-zone automatic climate control lets the driver, front and rear passengers adjust settings for personalized comfort.
On Demand Multi-Use Display
The On Demand Multi-Use Display™ is an intuitive touchscreen that combines all of the controls you need in one striking 7-inch color system. It puts audio, climate and programmed shortcuts at your fingertips, all with haptic feedback you can feel.
Electronic Gear Selector
All RLX models now come with a sleek, convenient Electronic Gear Selector. Intuitive transmission operation uses push buttons for Drive, Neutral and Park, and pull-levers for Reverse and the Parking Brake.
AcuraLink Satellite Communication
The RLX is well connected. Among the AcuraLink suite of services, you can send a point of interest directly from your smartphone (or home computer) to the RLX navigation system as a ready-to-drive route.
Traffic Jam Assist
At low speeds, the all-new Traffic Jam Assist is designed to help keep the RLX centered in a detected lane by applying progressive, precise steering inputs. Coupled with Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist reduces driver workload and can activate from a complete stop.
Adaptive Cruise Control
As with a conventional system, the available Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with low-speed follow system allows you to set a desired speed, but it will also keep a set interval behind a car detected ahead of you so you can enjoy cruise control even in light traffic conditions.
Collision Mitigation Braking
Powered by a radar transmitter mounted in the grille trim, the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ determines the distance and closing speed of detected objects that lie directly ahead. If you do not take action to reduce speed, RLX models with the Advance Package automatically tug at your seat belt as a warning.
Lane Keeping Assist
Lane Keeping Assist System works proactively to keep the RLX not only inside the lane, but in the center of the lane. If you guide the car out of a detected lane without signaling your intention to exit it, the system will slightly tug the wheel and guide the car to the center of the lane.
Road Departure Mitigation
To help make sure that you only take the RLX off the pavement when you want to, all models are equipped with Road Departure Mitigation, which can identify objects such as trees or parked cars beyond the side of the road and help you avoid them. When the system detects the RLX is about to leave the road, it warns the driver with an MID warning message, an amber head-up warning and a tightening of the seat belt.
Vehicle Stability Assist
In wet conditions, Vehicle Stability Assist™ can reduce the dangers of over and under steering and loss of traction by applying brakes at each wheel as needed and when necessary, reducing engine power.
Blind Spot Information System
If the RLX detects a vehicle in the next lane's alert zone while going over 20 MPH, an indicator appears on the side mirror. If you signal in the direction of that vehicle, the mirror indicator flashes and a warning beeps sounds.
Surround View Camera
Giving you the ability to see more, the Surround View Camera system delivers an unparalleled vantage point while parking. Six camera angles positioned around the RLX assist in uncovering potential obstacles.
Agile Handling Assist
Agile Handling Assist® uses the components of the Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) system to help improve handling. Active braking, usually on an inside wheel, helps you trace the line through a curve with smaller steering inputs.
Flush Parking Sensors
Our innovative parking sensors, in the front grille and flush with the rear bumpers, detect when the RLX is getting close to an object with a series of beeps, which sound more rapid as you get closer.
