Our Most Powerful Sedan Shares Supercar DNA

Acura’s only sedan with available Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® boasts NSX DNA, head-turning design and luxurious touches that make it a compelling choice over the competition.

Hybrid Supercar DNA Means Super Handling and Power

Like the NSX supercar, the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD enjoys the all-weather handling advantage of Acura’s breakthrough 3-Motor Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®). Three computer-controlled electric motors boost the RLX’s high-performance 3.5-liter i-VTEC® V-6 engine for:

  • Instant Acceleration
    The three electric motors – one integrated into the transmission, two at the rear wheels – provide instant acceleration with zero lag.
  • Incredible Cornering Ability
    The rear Twin Motor Unit continuously adjusts the left/right torque split to actually help turn the vehicle for more handling stability, cornering ability and control.
  • Impressive Power
    It’s Acura’s most powerful sedan, with total system power of 377 HP

Also from NSX DNA:

  • The Electro Servo Brake system provides precise, powerful braking control, and recharges the batteries with regenerative braking.
  • The Dual Clutch Transmission offers lightning-quick shift engagement and responsive feel.

Rear Legroom That Beats the Competition

Your passengers can stretch out in comfort with legroom that bests the Audi A6, BMW 540i, Lexus GS 350, Infiniti Q70 and Mercedes-Benz E300.

Plus, tri-zone climate control lets rear-seat passengers choose their temperature comfort level.

AcuraWatch – with Traffic Jam Assist – Is Standard

AcuraWatch™ safety and driver assistance technologies are standard on every RLX, can reduce driver workload and, in some cases, helping to prevent collisions or reducing their severity.
