2014 Acura RLX Detailed Trim and Pricing Info Released

We recently had our first spin in the 2014 Acura RLX, and not surprisingly the luxury brand’s new flagship will hit showrooms with a long list or standard and optional features. Acura has recently released full details and pricing on the RLX, meaning we now have a much better idea about what standard equipment is included with each of the five trim levels. The base 2014 Acura RLX starts at $49,345 including the $895 destination fee.

As previously reported, the 2014 Acura RLX will come standard with a new direct-injection 3.5-liter V-6 producing 310 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque, mated to a six speed automatic with paddle shifters. Also new is its Precision All-Wheel Steer system, which changes the toe angle of the rear wheels depending on steering and brake inputs. Standard features include tri-zone climate control, LED headlights, 8-inch infotainment screen, a 7-inch secondary touch-screen display, hands-free keyless access for the front doors and the trunk, 18-inch noise-reducing wheels, satellite a 10-speaker sound system with HD radio, and Bluetooth hands-free phone and streaming audio.

Next in the lineup is the RLX with Navigation, which costs $51,845 and adds navigation with voice recognition, color infotainment screen, and a revised AcuraLink system, which adds a number of Internet-based features and apps. The $55,345 RLX with Technology Package includes 19-inch noise-reducing rims, premium leather, a blind spot monitoring system, 14-speaker ELS Studio audio system, noise-reducing acoustic glass (for all windows except rear window), rain-sensing wipers, power retractable side mirrors and hands-free keyless access for all four doors and the trunk.

 

Rounding off the five trim levels are the RLX with Krell Audio and RLX with Advance. The RLX with Krell Audio costs $57,845 and adds a Krell “ultra-premium” 14-speaker sound system, rear door sunshades and a power-operated rear window sunshade. The RLX with Advance carries a price tag of $61,345 and adds adaptive cruise control system, Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Lane Keeping Assist System. The Advance package also includes front and rear parking sensors, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, lighting for the rear-seat foot wells, and auto-dimming side view mirrors.

The RLX goes on sale next month. Later this year, Acura will roll out the RLX equipped with the Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system, which adds an electric motor at each rear wheel for a total power output of 370 hp.
