Radar system monitors the area ahead of the vehicle and initiates braking in case of possible collision.
Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ body provides enhanced protection from multi-directional collision.
Adaptive technology that automatically maintains temperature levels in different zones inside the cabin.
Advanced navigation system pinpoints your location and offers multiple routes to reach your destination.
Reduces unwanted cabin noise by countering it with sound frequencies from the audio system.
At 300 horsepower, the 3.7-litre, 24-valve, SOHC, VTEC® V-6 is one of the most powerful engines that Acura makes. And with lightweight aluminum-alloy block and heads for improved efficiency and heat shedding, it's one of the most technically advanced, too. The engine heads feature a unique 4-valve design for optimal engine fuel flow, offering low-rpm torque for acceleration off the line and high-rpm power for passing on the highway. All the while the Multi-Point Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI®) system offers you astounding performance and fuel efficiency in a low-emission vehicle with a Tier 2 Bin 5 rating.
Experience pure propulsion courtesy of the incredible 300 horsepower and maximum 271 lb.-ft. of torque produced by the VTEC power plant. Plus, thanks to innovative VTEC engine refinement, the high-inertia intake manifold and other powerband-enhancing technologies, the broad, flat torque curve allows for the feeling of virtually instant acceleration.
Before VTEC engineering, engine tuning was always a compromise between balancing low-end torque and high-end power. Today, utilizing two entirely different camshaft profiles, VTEC engines deliver amazingly responsive power across the entire rpm range. At slow speeds, the engine provides lower valve lift and shorter cam profile openings, resulting in higher gas velocities and greater low-end rpm torque. As engine speeds increase, VTEC switches to a cam profile with higher valve lift and longer opening duration, for greater airflow and a boost in high-end rpm horsepower.
Precision-tuned for the RL, this exceptionally advanced all-wheel-drive technology helps you gain more traction in less-than-perfect conditions and provides you with the confidence to carve the perfect corner in every other condition.
As they say, “All luxury and no performance can make for comfortably dull driving.” Thankfully, you'll find manual upshift and downshift paddle shifting transmission controls mounted just behind the RL Elite’s leather-wrapped steering wheel. Specifically tuned to complement the RL Elite’s already quick-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission, paddle shifters provide you with that added touch of exhilaration and excitement so many other luxury sedans can't seem to put their finger on.
