Acura RL 2011
That new signature look consists of a matte-silver finish wide bar across the grille along with thin silver bars in the upper and lower front fascia. A lighter finish silver trim surrounds the new grille.
The matte finish is repeated at the rear end in a lip that goes across the trunk above the license plate. The tail lamps combine crystal clear lenses with traditional red. An all-new 3.7-liter V6 engine highlights performance upgrades. The 300-horsepower, 271 lb-ft. of torque SOHC motor features Honda’s VTEC system.
Acura has unveiled an updated (lightly) design for the flagship RL – the design, clearly derivative of the previous model, features what Acura calls a new signature look to the front fascia.
The latest generation RL also features the availability to use the paddle shifters when the shifter is in drive, not just manual mode. The system allows the driver to up or downshift on the fly — such as for passing maneuvers but will revert back to automatic mode if it detects the driver is no longer shifting.
An available Technology Package includes a satellite-linked Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition, AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting, AcuraLink Real-Time Weather, rear view back-up camera, back-up sensors, Active Front Lighting System (AFS), ventilated front seats, and a simulated burlwood accented steering wheel and shift knob.
The RL continues to use Acura’s SuperHandling all-wheel-drive, but has more of a rear-drive bias than the previous generation.
The top RL trim is the Advance Package which adds Acura’s Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), power folding side mirrors and genuine maple wood instrument panel trim.
