2013 Acura RLX - The build quality is excellent.

The Acura RLX is an executive car manufactured by Honda and sold under their Acura division, released in 2013. Succeeding the Acura RL, the RLX offers two versions, a front-wheel drive base model equipped with Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) four-wheel steering system, and a hybrid variant featuring SH-AWD that serves as Acura's flagship. However in Honda Legend, front-wheel drive is not offered.

Story

The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is like the old story. If you consider the fact that it is one of the most evolved cars at Acura and in the whole industry. It is Acura's the top of the line vehicle, at least until the Acura NSX.

Pros

Elegant styling. It is evident that Acura worked hard to enhance the appearance of the 2016 Acura RLX. The sedan does not have any over-the-top styling cues. Onlookers will immediately notice the RLX’s beautiful LED headlights. All models come standard with a set of 19-inch wheels. Prospective buyers can also choose from six exciting colors, including Graphite Luster and Pomegranate. Proven engine. The Acura RLX’s 3.5-liter, V-6 engine has proven itself to be an outstanding performer. Acura has tuned the engine to pump out a thrilling 310 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque. With this much power on hand, the RLX can easily hit 60 mph in less than six seconds. A Sequential SportShift automatic transmission gives the sedan an extra degree of excitement. Good fuel economy. Based on the engine’s powerful output, many drivers would assume that the RLX gets sub-par gas mileage. Fortunately, the sedan does not have a thirst for fuel. With a highway fuel economy rating of 31 mpg, the sedan can be use as a daily-driver or a long-distance cruiser. The cylinder-deactivation feature will enable drivers to save a lot of cash. Cutting-edge steering system. The 2016 Acura RLX comes standard with a Precision All-Wheel Steer system. This is one of the most innovative steering systems on the market. When cornering, the rear wheels can actually pivot by as much as 1.8 degrees. Whether the driver is parallel parking or changing lanes on the freeway, the exclusive steering system will definitely prove its worth. Low-maintenance vehicle. Unlike some of its German rivals, the Acura RLX does not require any expensive maintenance. In fact, the sedan does not need any scheduled tune-ups for the first 100,000 miles. This is a blessing for the drivers who are seeking a low-maintenance luxury sedan. As long as the RLX receives the basic maintenance procedures, it should run flawlessly. Spacious cabin. One of the RLX’s most adoring qualities is its roominess. This is the ideal vehicle for families. Even the backseat provides ample legroom for tall passengers. When traveling on a road trip, everyone will remain comfortable throughout the entire journey. The sedan’s large trunk also provides over 15 cubic feet of cargo space. Travelers will have no problem fitting their luggage into the back. Five-star safety rating. During governmental crash testing, the Acura RLX received a perfect five-star safety rating. The sedan’s high-strength chassis provides excellent crash protection. Some of the standard safety equipment includes a tire pressure monitor, a rear-view camera, and an Autonomous Emergency Braking System. Amazingly, Acura also includes a lane departure warning system as a standard feature. Strong resale value. Although most owners will be pleased with their RLX, they may decide to upgrade to a newer model in the future. Fortunately, the RLX is predicted to have a very high resale value. Buyers understand Acura’s reputation for developing high-end automobiles. While some vehicles tend to decline after 100,000 miles, an Acura ages like fine wine. Outstanding amount of creature comforts. Due to the Acura RLX’s abundance of standard features, the majority of buyers will be satisfied with the base trim. The beautiful sunroof allows fresh air to creep into the interior. Some of the other standard features include a powerful ELS sound system. Exciting driving experience. Most drivers will instantly fall in love with the sedan’s driving dynamics. Although it is not a pure sports sedan, it does bring a high level of excitement to the table.

Cons

Standard model doesn’t offer AWD. In order to get an all-wheel-drive system, buyers will have to opt for the hybrid model. The hybrid version costs at least $10,000 more than the standard model. No manual gearbox. The Acura RLX will not be available with a stick-shift transmission. Some driving enthusiasts may be disappointed. Slightly expensive. Prices for the Acura RLX start at around $51,000. This is quite a bit more expensive than some American-made luxury sedans.

2018 Acura RLX - Good

I was very surprised when I test drove the RLX as most of the reviews by the 'experts' were average at best. It is a perfect fit for me. Bigger inside than my TL and the Lexus 350.

Story

I really enjoy driving it.

Pros

Lots of room in the back seat. The control panel is much more intuitive than my TL. The ride is plenty smooth, the transmission feels great shifting in all gears, A/C is perfect. I really enjoy driving it. I leased it and did not know until I was handed the keys it comes with a great Roadside Assistance Pkg. It basically covers everything.

2013 Acura RLX - Great car with good attributes

I think it's an excellent choice for an SUV and a luxury vehicle. I would love to be able to afford one. The fold-down seats...you don't have to even fold down. They fold down with just a push of a button. I test drove several and I mean several and this was bar-none the best car on the market for the money.

Story

I used it to go to a basketball game in the stadium. We had to drive a few hours and we were comfy.

Pros

It runs and shifts smoothly with only an occasional hiccup in the transmission when it appears to get confused. For whatever reason, Honda just refuses to fully engage and commit to the luxury car market with Acura. They are nice cars, but I don't consider them much different that a less expensive Honda. For the money that they ask for, better cars can be had.

Cons

I pretty much like the Honda stuff and this vehicle is no exception. The problems that I have with the RDX are relatively minor. The fit between the front bumper and front fenders are terrible as well as the fit between the hood and the top of the fenders, uneven gaps and problems lining up. If you have the front widows rolled partially down, they rattle when closing the doors. Very unhappy with the NAV system. It never responds to voice commands and is very quirky as well as the maps are very antiquated looking. A bit tight inside the cabin as well as very little storage space, and the fu... (more)
