Acura unveiled the RLX luxury sport sedan Tuesday at the North American International Auto Show, a car it hopes can challenge such performance luxury competitors as the BMW 5-series and Lexus GS.
The RLX replaces the slow-selling RL and goes on sale March 15.
There is a choice between a V6 gas engine or hybrid drivetrain. All-wheel drive
is another option. Front-drive models can be equipped with rear
steering for improved maneuverability and parking ease. The base model
will come with a 310-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 that promises an EPA
combined city/highway rating of 24 m.p.g.
A 370-horsepower hybrid model will have all-wheel drive. Other
features include touch-screen controls, adaptive cruise control and
capless fueling.
Acura also debuted its 2014 MDX prototype, a seven-passenger luxury crossover SUV that's very similar to a mid-2013 production model that will replace Acura's popular midsize crossover later this year.
The prototype is 1.5 inches shorter than the current MDX and interior room grows.
