The moment you climb into the cabin of the Acura RL,you’ll gain an immediate understanding of the kind of thinking and craftsmanship that went into making the vehicle a supremely accommodating sanctuary. Seats, mirrors, climate-control and audio settings all welcome you aboard by adjusting to your preferences. Rich leather adorns seats,steering wheel and shift knob, as well as other contact points. In addition, the front seats pamper with multiple heat settings, and with the Technology Package, three levels of cooling.
And while the vehicle’s material richness is indulging your sense of touch, the Bose Surround Sound System is more than adept at satisfying your audio needs. The system’s 10 acoustically positioned speakers provide sound that resembles a high-end home set-up. The Active Sound Control system helps keep unwanted engine noise from competing for your attention. The new industry-first noise-reducing wheel technology also contributes to a quieter cabin.
An undeniable feeling of poweris evident the moment you take control of the vehicle’s 300-hp,3.7-liter engine. Employing Acura’s signature VTEC system,it utilizes two separate camshaft profiles to satisfy the competing needs of low-end torque and high-end horsepower. The result is an exhilarating rush off the line, and power in reserve down the road. A high-inertia intake manifold helps keep airflow optimized while a dual exhaust system ensures unrestricted flow out of the engine, also a vital ingredient for performance.Aluminum construction keepsthe engine lighter for improved handling and less vibration.
As sumptuous as the Acura RL cabin may be, the last thing you want to feel is cut off from the rest of your world. Designed with the idea that knowledge is power, the Acura RL works to keep you fully informed of what’s happening inside the cabin, and out. The available Acura Navigation System1features available continuously updated traffic and weather information,2as well as Zagat restaurant reviews.The screen also doubles as a display for the available rearview camera. AcuraLink technology can even help you get basic diagnostic information via your
One mark of a luxury vehicle is its ability to satisfy just about any need. With systems like the available GPS-linked, solar-sensing climate control, the RL can often accomplish this with no action on your part. In those instances when you do needto make your desires known, just a few words will suffice. Voice recognition gives you intimate control of a number of systems,
including navigation,BluetoothHands FreeLink, and many features of the vehicle’s audio and climate control systems.
The Acura RL is proof that inspiration can be engineered. The vehicle’s performance technologies have been tuned to deliver exhilarating response while also keeping you firmly in control. Chief
among these is Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD).Unlike most competitive systems,SH-AWD can sense where extra torque is needed, then distribute power not only between the front and back but also side to side among the rear wheels. In turns, the system can send up to 100% of available rear power to the outside wheel, then spin that wheel slightly faster for tighter cornering.These forces help the RL track with a precision unmatched by conventional all-wheel drive.
With a goal of keeping driver and passengers out of harm’s way, Acura engineers incorporated safety technology into every aspect of the RL.It starts with the vehicle’s Advanced Compatibility
Engineering (ACE)body structure. This exclusive design uses a network of structural elements to help reduce frontal crash energy transferred to the passenger compartment. The Acura RL also features numerous systems designed to help keep collisions from happening in the first place. This includes the available Collision Mitigation Braking System, which can sense an imminent collision and take steps to alert the driver to avoid it if possible, and help minimize its impact if not.
