Acura RL - Overview

The RL name was introduced on a 1996 car, but the current generation was redesigned for the 2005 model year. The Acura RL is the largest sedan offered by the luxury division of Honda Motors. The RL is a four-door, five-seat car available in one, well-appointed trim. A new RL is in development, but is not expected to reach the market until 2011. It is widely expected to be the first Acura to offer a V8 engine.

The Acura RL offers an excellent combination of technology and drivability. Though some say it can feel a bit underpowered, its award-winning all-wheel-drive system adds fun to the driving equation.  This is a well-balanced, taut-handling car that belies its large size. The RL's interior features a long list of standard amenities, and lacks a quirky interface like BMW's iDrive or Audi's MMi. However, many buyers will appreciate that Acura hasn't tried to make one, since those devices seem to frustrate many owners. The RL earns excellent safety ratings from the federal government and the insurance industry.
