One mark of a luxury vehicle is its ability to satisfy just about any need. With systems like the available GPS-linked, solar- sensing climate control, the RL can often accomplish this with no action on your part. In those instances when you do need to make your desires known, just a few words will suffice.

Voice recognition gives you intimate control of a number of systems, including navigation, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink,® and many features of the vehicle’s audio and climate control systems.

The Acura RL is proof that inspiration can be engineered. The vehicle’s performance technologies have been tuned to deliver exhilarating response while also keeping you firmly in control.

Chief among these is Super Handling All-Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD®). Unlike most competitive systems, SH-AWD can sense where extra torque is needed, then distribute power not only between the front and back but also side to side among the rear wheels.

In turns, the system can send up to 100% of available rear power to the outside wheel, then spin that wheel slightly faster for tighter cornering.

These forces help the RL track with a precision unmatched by conventional all-wheel drive.
