(June 4, 2015) TORRANCE, Calif. — With pricing unchanged from the current model, the 2016 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is now available at Acura dealers nationwide beginning boasting new features including AcuraWatch, now offered as standard equipment on all models, and an available 360-degree Surround View Camera system.

The only luxury sedan with a three-motor, torque-vectoring hybrid powertrain, the 2016 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid will carry a base price of $59,950 with Technology Package and $65,950 with Advance Package.

Producing a combined 377 horsepower and 341 lb-ft of torque, the RLX Sport Hybrid is powered by a direct injected 3.5-liter V6 engine and three-motor hybrid system with Acura's signature Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) system. This powertrain provides a unique combination of exhilarating all-weather, any-road dynamic performance, and exceptional acceleration, while also receiving an impressive 32 mpg EPA highway fuel economy rating.

These performance attributes are matched by the RLX Sport Hybrid's luxurious appointments and for 2016 even more comprehensive feature content including the AcuraWatch suite of safety and driver assistive technologies and available Surround View Camera4, bi-directional starter and heated steering wheel.

AcuraWatch helps to improve the driver's situational awareness and, in certain circumstances, intervene to help avoid a collision or mitigate its severity. The AcuraWatch suite of available features includes:

    Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF)
    Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS)
    Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
    Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
    Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
    Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
    Blind Spot Information (BSI)
    Multi-View Rear Camera with Dynamic Guidelines
    Cross Traffic Monitor

At the heart of AcuraWatch is the fusion of camera and radar technology that can sense the roadway and objects within it, including other vehicles and pedestrians. This technology underpins the systems that help provide the driver with improved vision around the vehicle, can alert the driver of potential issues and, if necessary, intervene to help keep the RLX Sport Hybrid from departing a lane, departing the road, or help to avoid or mitigate the severity of a collision.

These systems include Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) and Cross Traffic Monitor, both of which are new to the RLX Sport Hybrid.
