2013 Acura RLX Flagship Will Debut at 2012 New York Auto Show

Honda's premium Acura, as expected, will pull the covers off its new flagship sedan, dubbed RLX, at the 2012 New York Auto Show. To be displayed in concept form, the 2013 RLX will go on sale this fall at U.S. dealers.

In a brief statement, the automaker said its big luxury sedan will feature "an array of new Acura technologies, including the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system" while delivering "an entirely new level of performance, sophistication and comfort."

Acura officials last year told Inside Line that the RL replacement will be larger than the current car and will have best-in-class legroom, combining the cabin space of a BMW 7 Series sedan with the agility of a 5 Series.

The car will offer a choice of a new V6 gasoline engine or a V6 hybrid system with all-wheel drive. The new SH-AWD hybrid system will be offered on both the 2013 RLX and the next-generation Acura NSX.

Honda said the hybrid system "was developed for large-sized vehicles." The system bundles a 3.5-liter V6 engine with an electric four-wheel-drive system, a 20kW motor on each of the rear wheels and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The SH-AWD hybrid system also gets a high-performance lithium-ion battery and will provide "acceleration equivalent to V8 engines, as well as fuel efficiency equal or superior to inline four-cylinder engines," the company said.

2013 Acura RLX to Get Electric SH-AWD

We already knew that Acura would be debuting its new RL flagship luxury sedan at the upcoming New York Auto Show, but it appears that the Japanese automaker will be renaming it the RLX.

Though details are light on the new RLX, we can confirm that it will feature the automaker’s new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD. A V6 hybrid engine will power the front wheels while the system will take advantage of a pair of electric motors individually powering each rear wheel. The entire setup will be mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and will result in the performance of a V8, with the fuel economy of a four-cylinder.

So far Acura hasn’t revealed exactly what V6 powerplant will be in the RL, but it did mention that the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD will not be standard on the new RLX.

Acura ILX 2.4, Hybrid to be Priced Around $30,000

With Acura recently announcing the 2013 ILX would start at around $27,000 for the base 2.0-liter 150 hp model, the Honda luxury arm has now revealed more pricing details about the remaining two versions.

While official pricing hasn’t been confirmed, at the car’s launch presentation in Scottsdale, AZ, Acura has said both the 2.4-liter performance model and the Hybrid version will start at around $30,000 – a modest $3,000 price increase for either a significant performance or fuel economy gain. Acura’s 2.4-liter 4-cylinder model, borrowing its engine from the Civic Si makes 201 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque and comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. The ILX Hybrid also borrows its powertrain from the Civic Hybrid using a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and lithium-ion battery pack and gets an average 38 mpg rating.

All ILX models will come standard with keyless access, a power moonroof, Bluetooth, 16-inch aluminum wheels, as well as a USB and iPod hookup.

To compare, the 2012 Civic Si sedan is priced at $22,405 and the 2012 Civic Hybrid at $24,050.

Snow Seeker: Follow an epic roadtrip through the Canadian Rockies with the 2012 Acura ZDX

This isn’t your average road trip. For me, a snowboarder for nearly 10 years, it’s something I’ve always dreamed of doing. A 10-day tour of the Canadian Rockies, destination: epic powder. An adventure that will take us from Alberta’s capital city Edmonton, down through the continental divide and into interior British Columbia where we’ll make our way to our final ski destination, Whistler. Along the way we’ll get a chance to experience some of the best ski resorts Western Canada has to offer: Marmot Basin, Lake Louise, Revelstoke, Whitewater, Red Mountain and Whistler Blackcomb.

Every road trip requires a vehicle, and when we’re in the midst of winter with roughly 2000 kms of potentially hazardous road to travel, the vehicle of choice will have to meet certain criteria. Reliability and all-wheel drive are absolute necessities. Some extra ground clearance and cargo space would definitely be helpful. And finally a comfortable cabin for those long grueling hours on the road.

Enter the 2012 ZDX, a unique crossover with luxury, utility, performance and Acura’s reputation for reliability. With its powerful 300-hp V-6 engine, Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a never-ending list of features, the ZDX is the perfect candidate for our Rocky Mountain Road Tour. Follow our review as we take the ZDX for the next 10-days through scenic drives as well as harsh winter conditions on our quest for fresh snow and glorious riding.
