The Acura rlx sport hybrid review.
The rlx its modern Acura dashboard layout will not enjoy the benefits of big-car living. The rear electric motors add power to an already swift car and provide a form of four-wheel steering that causes the rlx to be tossed understeer-free into a corner with immediacy. All-wheel-drive cars which suffer from torque steer, like this sport hybrid, engender a measure of uneasiness in my rwd-loving soul – torque steer is for Saturn ion red lines, not refined luxury sedans – and the sensation is worsened because the rlx is not a bastion of total traction in the snow. Nevertheless, with judicious use of heavy throttle, the rlx sport hybrid reveals itself to be a capable back-road burner, allowing a surprising degree of extra throttle application as it makes its way through a corner, feeling more and more like a much smaller car than it is.

Acura ILX 2020 seating and design.
A luxury vehicle should also have plenty of room for you and your passengers no matter if you are making your way around town or are hitting the open road. With the Acura ILX interior, drivers can take advantage of premium features and comfortable sport seats in all available trims and packages to take full advantage of the passenger and cargo dimensions. Design and cabin space are only the tip of the interior features found in the ILX lineup as there are plenty of standard and available technology features to offer a more connected ride.

Hot rod with good gas mpg.
This car is really nice. I like the feel of the interior and the design of the car. It drives smoothly and is okay on gas. I have only had the car for a couple of weeks but I like what I have been driving so far. It is so quiet sometimes I forget that it is already in gear.

2020 Acura rlx engine and performance.
The Acura rlx comes in just one trim but comes loaded to the hilt, with a variety of features as standard. Available with just an FWD configuration, you can get the rlx with features that include the like of on demand multi-use display, Acura connected services. The 2020 Acura rlx, puts its 310 hp to good use on both the city streets and out on the motorways. While the Acura sedan does not claim to be a performance-centric car, it ain't a slouch either. 0-60 mph comes up in just 5.6 seconds, while the quarter-mile run takes about 14.6 seconds. Behind the wheel, you can clearly feel the car's weight hindering its performance but you will not be left wanting for more, while on the move in the city.

2020 Acura rlx the best reviews.
Acura has made sure the rlx will sail through its crash tests. It earned a 5-star rating from the national highway traffic safety administration and a good rating from the insurance institute for highway safety, which also chose the rlx as a top safety pick. Standard safety equipment includes full airbag protection, forward-collision warning, collision-mitigation braking and lane-departure warning and assist. The rlx includes a power moonroof, active sound control (which uses the audio system to quiet the cabin), the Acura navigation system with 3d view, acuralink, real-time traffic and rerouting and a color multi-information display. Also standard is a power tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, heated front seats, driver and passenger 12-way power seats with power lumbar support, keyless access with push-button start,

Specifications for 2020 Acura rlx.
The Acura rlx is the Japanese brand's flagship sedan, one of two midsize cars (the other is the tlx) that is set apart by a standard gas-electric hybrid powertrain. Acura introduced the rlx in 2014 as the replacement for the rl. The 2020 rlx is carried over unchanged from 2019. Among the rlx's exterior features are 19-inch wheels, auto-dimming side mirrors, headlight washers, power-folding and heated side mirrors, led headlights, fog lights and taillights, sunroof and rain-sensing wipers.

The common mechanical issues of my vehicle.
I really love this vehicle and I don't really have a lot of fault with the vehicle but these faulty headlights and taillights. Because of the lower driver visibility, a greater percentage of car accidents occur at night.... Tire blowouts.... Faulty steering system and suspension.... Malfunctioning wipers.... Faulty brakes.

Feeling safe and protected in a car is important.
So comfortable, feel like I am coasting along the road. Very dependable, never worry about something not working on the vehicle. Great for night driving. The lights are excellent can see everything around me. Great vehicle for performance feels like it has got to pick up when I am on the highway and feel very safe in the car.

Rides comfortably yet handles corners athletically.
Quick acceleration plus thrifty fuel economy. Roomy interior with cavernous cargo capacity. Rides comfortably yet handles corners athletically. Plentiful and thoughtful storage areas. I don't have that much for a problem with the car. Sometimes the engine starts slow. I love the car its a awesome car. I will recommend it to my friends.

2020 Acura rlx safety features.
There are two very different trim levels when it comes to the Acura rlx. There are many standard advanced driver aids found in both trim levels. They include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and forward-collision warning complete with automatic emergency braking. Also standard is a road departure mitigation system, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a rearview camera, and a feature called traffic jam. This works with adaptive cruise control to help keep the rlx moving smoothly, even in very congested driving situations.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Leo R.

Looks like a sports car and the design of the vehicle makes it even better. I take the car everywhere and it hasn't given me any problems. My coffee is never spilled when I am driving. The wheel is sturdy and does not move when I am driving.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Leo R.

There's not enough space for a 7ft person. Not spacious enough to fit over 5 friends. And wish it had a better view because it has a lot of blind spots. Another con is that I cannot keep this car forever.
