Acura is struggling to find his identity in recent years , and nowhere is this more apparent than at the top. The 2014 Acura RLX is the new flagship of the brand and the successor of the discontinued RL, a midsize luxury sedan, which found only a few customers , regardless of their solid credentials. Although not radical in design and personality of RLX otherwise is a spacious car and is packed with the latest technology . Plus, there's an AWD hybrid version comes at the end of 2013 , the 370 horsepower and 30 mpg (combined) under one roof promises .
For now RLX is only front wheel drive and a 3.5 -liter V6 engine with 310 hp. Although you are likely to be met with the acceleration of the car in motion, can not be taken from the big races are often occupied Acura is : A Edmunds pre-production test vehicle with 19 - had inch wheels and tires difficulties filtering bumps and ruts , large and small . On top of the RLX precise control and confident about it seems that based on our early devices of AWD RLX hybrid is a great pleasure for anyone who wants an authentic experience hoe sports sedan .
By far the best reason to consider the 2014 Acura RLX his tech -laden interior.

If a user-friendly navigation audio interface is really important to you, RLX worth a look, especially if you want to make extensive use of the phone in the car.
In other respects, however, RLX faded in the mid-size sedan luxury package . This is unremarkable to drive, and apart from suspending the LED headlights the styling is extremely forgotten. Even the most high- tech interior lacks elegance, such as the navigation screen is the same size and resolution as the ones you find in the Honda Accord . Buyers are spoiled for choice in this price range, of course : the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Lexus GS 350 are more fun to drive , and Mercedes - Benz E350 is luxurious. At the same time , large sedans like the Cadillac XTS and Hyundai Genesis offers many of the same technological characteristics as RLX undercut on price. In fact, this is a tough crowd and front wheel drive Acura RLX is largely superior. Hybrid AWD version that you can not get here soon enough.
