Today marked the world premiere of the new 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Scheduled to hit the market next spring, this powerful and fuel-efficient luxury sedan combines a 3.5L V6 engine (rated at 310 horsepower) with three electric motors (including two in the rear). With a net output of 377 horsepower, it sprints from 0-100 km/h in V8-like times while offering 4-cylinder fuel economy.
The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD is the first Acura vehicle to feature an electronic gear selector, which replaces the conventional shift lever with an efficiently packaged push-button array that allows the driver to easily select the desired drive mode -- Park, Drive, or Reverse.
The very spacious and upscale interior of the 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD includes head-up display, the AcuraLink cloud-based connected car system, and a 14-speaker surround sound system. A large, 8'' colour screen combines audio/information and navigation functions while providing access to an array of customizable features. An additional 7'' colour On Demand Multi-Use Display (ODMD) touchscreen is also positioned within easy reach.
The 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD comes with many standard safety features such as:
• Multi-angle rearview camera;
• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS);
• Forward Collision Warning (FCW);
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS);
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow;
• Blind Spot Information (BSI) system.
With a longer wheelbase and wider side glass than competitors, the 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD also sports Jewel Eye LED headlights and LED taillights, while its advanced body structure makes extensive use of high-strength steel and aluminum.
