The primary power source in the 2017 RLX is a direct injected 3.5L V6 engine with a 24-valve SOHC i-VTEC valve train. Alone, the RLX’s engine provides its drivers with 310 hp @ 6,500 rpm, and the Sport Hybrid upgrade can make it even more capable.
Sport Hybrid technology was developed for Acura’s top-of-the-line supercars, but now you also can enjoy this high-end capability in a more sensible midsize sedan like the 2017 RLX. Sport Hybrid technology equips your powertrain with three additional electric motors that can dramatically improve your vehicle’s response time and handling. When you choose the Sport Hybrid RLX you’ll have access to a total system output of 377 hp and 341 lb-ft of torque! These electric motors also boost your RLX’s fuel economy to an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway.**
Steering wheel–mounted SportShift paddle shifters allow you to get the most from your Acura’s engine and transmission. In standard RXL models, you’ll receive a 6-speed automatic transmission with Grade Logic Control. The Sport Hybrid RLX comes equipped with a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission that offers even more control.
The RLX will be capable of making smaller, tighter, and sharper turns when you utilize its Agile Handling Assist technology. This feature estimates the ideal path over any curve, and can apply its brakes individually to ensure that you stay right on course.
This Acura sedan’s supercar DNA isn’t limited to its deployment of Sport Hybrid technology. The same tests and simulations that allow vehicles like the NSX to perform so well have also been used to make the RLX as aerodynamic as it can possibly be.
The Acura RLX’s Precision All-Wheel Steering (P-AWS) takes four-wheel drive to the next level. With this feature, your rear wheel toe angles are adjusted automatically, in accordance with your direction. By allowing all four of your wheels to work together, P-AWS ensures that the RLX responds to your commands like no sedan before it.
The Keyless Access System in the Acura RLX allows this sedan to respond to your approach, so you’ll never have to fumble for your keys again. Additionally, this feature restores your preferred climate, navigation, phone, side mirror, and seating settings automatically, whenever you touch your RLX’s door handle.
The 2017 RLX uses four integrated cameras to present its driver with a 360-degree view of their surroundings. This indispensable feature makes it easy to park your vehicle, and offers additional security when you’re moving in close quarters. When you shift the RLX into reverse, this multi-dimensional feed will be replaced by the images from its multi-angle rearview camera with automatic guidelines.
The 2017 RLX comes equipped with a capless fuel door that will save you time and keep your hands clean on the go. Drivers love this simple and convenient design feature, and it’s a wonder that other auto manufacturers haven’t caught on to this trend.
Only the finest material elements have been included in the Acura RLX. Inside this luxury vehicle’s cockpit, drivers and passengers alike will be treated to perforated Milano leather seating with contrast stitching. In addition, the RLX sports brushed aluminum speakers, illuminated storage, and a dashboard with leather trim.
With 102.1 cubic feet of passenger volume, the RLX is capable of providing uncommon comfort to all of your family members and friends. Passengers in the second row are in for an especially luxurious ride, as the RLX offers class-leading legroom totaling 38.8 inches! An independently controlled rear center console ensures that everyone can enjoy the RLX’s dual-zone climate control.
Acura RLX drivers can choose between two powerful audio systems. Available with the Advance package, the Krell Audio System equips your RLX with 14 high-quality Zylon speakers and an 8-inch carbon fiber subwoofer that together provide unbeatable surround sound. With the RLX Technology package, drivers will instead receive an ELS Studio Premium Audio System that’s been optimized for high-fidelity musical clarity.
The RLX’s On Demand Multi-Use Display coordinates all of your Acura’s convenience and entertainment settings in one easy-to-use, intuitive interface. This 7-inch color touchscreen allows you to access up to nine programmable feature shortcuts at any given time.
The 2017 RLX allows its driver to take complete control of their sonic environment. Active Sound Control technology counters the RLX’s raw engine roar with opposing frequencies that eliminate unwanted noise! The RLX’s acoustic glass and alloy wheels have been designed to mitigate the noise that Active Sound Control isn’t prepared to catch.
By projecting important information straight to your vehicle’s windshield, the RLX’s Head-Up Display works to eliminate distractions and enhance the driver’s visibility. Now, RLX drivers can check navigation information, driver-assistance alerts, and real-time power distribution readouts without sacrificing their attention.
Collision Mitigation Braking can give you a few extra moments to respond to emergency developments on the road. As soon as the RLX’s front-facing camera detects an obstacle in your path, its onboard computer can tighten your seat belts and start to slow your vehicle immediately.
Adaptive cruise control with Low Speed Follow allows drivers to free up their mind and their time to focus on what really matters to them. Even in city driving scenarios, the Acura RLX can alter its cruise control speed to accommodate traffic and other obstacles. Your speed reduction and follow distance settings are easily adjustable on the go.
Whenever its turn signal is switched off, the RLX’s computer system is working to keep you proceeding on path, safely in your lane. If the RLX detects a significant change in its position, it will nudge the steering wheel to help you get back on course.
Road Departure Mitigation also comes standard in the 2017 RLX. Much like the Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation uses your vehicle’s side-facing camera to prevent you from drifting into the road’s shoulder or crashing into nearby obstacles. This system uses visual alerts and tightening seat belts to warn drivers of potential danger.
The same components that the RLX uses for Agile Handling Assistance are also employed to give your vehicle extra stability! Vehicle Stability Assistance technology allows the RLX to brake individual tires and cut power to the engine when weather or debris would otherwise make it difficult to stay in control.
The RLX’s Blind Spot Information System is a simple but powerful tool. This technology makes use of yet another integrated camera in order to alert the driver to any oncoming vehicles in their blind spot.
