Get To Know The Acura RL!
Jul 18th, 2008 by Aidan Busbee
As the “flagship” of the Acura line up the Acura RL has to live up to a lot of expectation. But it’s got the luxury features, the latest technology and the exemplary safety features that make living up to all the expectation quite simple. And in addition to all the traditionally accepted expectations…the Acura RL even fulfills a popular car feature that is less often fulfilled in recent history…spacious design! All in all, the Acura RL offers an overall package that is pleasing to the eye and provides a comfortable ride.
The Acura is often lumped with luxury sedans, but it actually falls under the midsize car classification. This makes the Acura RL’s popular design and smooth ride even more impressive. And not only does the Acura RL offer a surprising amount of space and comfort, but it comes at a very affordable price, as well.
While the Acura RL does not offer the V8 option popular amongst other luxury sedans, it DOES offer 290 hp. And it offers 290 hp with a lighter V6 that increases the fuel economy of the vehicle on the road!
The Acura’s fuel economy is one of the more popular features of the Acura RL as gas prices continue to cause concern to the car buying public. The RL’s lighter V6 engine makes this luxury sedan as economical as possible! And quite a bit of economy is possible…it’s one of the most fuel efficient luxury sedans with up to 24 miles per gallon.
Acura’s RL wasn’t intended to come across as a “luxo-barge.” But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t offer some popular luxury features! The vehicle comes equipped with the latest technological accessories: Bluetooth, Bose sound, XM radio, dual zone climate control, noise cancellation, trip computer, and lots more.
You might think that all the luxury features will leave the average car buyer a little overwhelmed when it comes to actually accessing and using the features once off the lost, but the Acura RL was actually designed to be pretty user friendly. You won’t need to keep the owner‘s manual on the dash at all times to enjoy the comfort offered by the RL’s luxury features.
In addition to being well equipped with accessories, the Acura RL is well equipped with some of the most advanced safety features available. Acura meets and exceeds all safety requirements to provide piece of mind for all those who occupy it. Whether it is an individual or a family, all who use the RL can feel confident in its protection. Among the RL safety features you’ll find vehicle stability assist, anti-lock brake system and electronic brake distribution, advanced compatibility engineering and more.
Acura also chose the RL to introduce the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD). The RL is the first from Acura to offer the feature. With SH-AWD you get the capability to continuously distribute varying levels of power to the 4 wheels of the vehicle enhancing handling and lowering the probability of problems in wet weather due to providing better traction.
While the Acura RL has never attained huge popularity and seems to live in the shadow of more prestigious makes and well-known models, the RL does establish itself as a luxury sedan that holds up quite nicely when placed against those in it’s class.
