(March 14, 2013) TORRANCE, Calif. — The 2014 RLX luxury flagship sedan goes on sale at Acura dealerships Friday, with a starting price of $48,450 and topping out at $60,450 for the technology-laden RLX with Advance package. The all-new 2014 Acura RLX — the first complete remake of the brand's flagship since 2005 — is the most powerful, spacious, and technologically advanced sedan in the history of Acura.

Powered by an all-new 310-horsepower, direct-injected V-6 engine and featuring a host of Acura signature technologies, including Precision All-Wheel Steer, Jewel Eye LED headlights, and the next generation of the AcuraLink connected car system, the RLX delivers new levels of technology-enhanced performance, comfort and connectivity in a luxury flagship sedan.



Using smart packaging, advanced aerodynamics, and lightweight body design, along with fuel-saving i-VTEC with Variable Cylinder Management engine technology, the RLX has top-class EPA fuel economy ratings of 20/31/24 mpg (city/highway/combined).

Acura says, "In keeping with the Acura brand focus on "The Synergy Between Man and Machine," the RLX utilizes an all-new direct-injection engine, lightweight body structure, and Acura Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) to deliver a dynamic driving experience that truly reflects the will of the driver.  Whether on a serpentine mountain pass, congested city street, or cramped airport parking deck, the RLX with P-AWS, is designed to deliver an unprecedented level of handling precision and control."

With a longer wheelbase and wider greenhouse than most competing mid-luxury sedans, the new RLX delivers the most spacious five-passenger seating in its class in a nimbler package.

The new RLX comes with an array of advanced driver assistive and visibility technologies, including a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera, Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW); along with available Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Blind Spot Information (BSI) system, and Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS).
