What it is: The RLX is Acura's flagship sedan, and it's offered as a gas-powered front-drive car as well as an all-wheel-drive hybrid. The RLX rides the line between mid-size and full-size sedans, with generous interior space in what's roughly a mid-size wrapper. As such, the RLX competes with cars such as the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Lexus GS and Lincoln MKZ.
The AcuraWatch safety system is now standard. It includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with collision mitigation braking, lane departure warning and prevention, blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.
