2014 Acura RLX makes auto show debut ahead of spring launch

By ,

Making its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2014 Acura RLX is the roomiest and most powerful sedan in the lineup. It also comes with a plethora of advanced technologies and safety features.

The 2014 Acura RLX is motivated by an all-new 310-horsepower i-VTEC V6 engine with direct injection and Variable Cylinder Management. The stately sedan boasts a lightweight body structure, Jewel Eye LED headlights, and the first-ever application of Acura Precision All-Wheel Steer.

The lavish interior of the 2014 Acura RLX is highlighted by soft-touch materials including premium metal and wood-grain accents, stitched leather on the instrument panel, centre console and steering wheel, as well as available Milano perforated leather on the seats.

Said console houses two displays: an 8'' navigation screen and a 7'' On-Demand Multi-Use Display touch screen. Together, they provide easy and direct one-touch access to key functions such as audio, air conditioning, navigation and text-to-voice SMS text messaging.

Let's not forget the new cloud-based AcuraLink connectivity system delivering a host of information, media, convenience, and security services.

The 2014 Acura RLX will go on sale across Canada next spring. Prices and complete specifications will be revealed weeks before.
