RLX Certain cars have the ability to change how people feel. It’s an elusive quality that’s difficult to measure. And even harder to create. For us it means starting with one goal—bringing the driver and vehicle closer. It sounds simple, but it changes everything. It changes how we imagine possibilities, experiment with technology, and engineer smarter solutions. We believe there’s no other way to create cars like the Acura RLX and RLX Sport Hybrid. Vehicles that demonstrate what happens when you push yourself to go BEYOND THE MACHINE. RLX shown in Graphite Luster Metallic The RLX sedan is the ultimate expression of Acura’s challenge to the automotive status quo. One of our greatest achievements in luxury, performance, and technology. RLX Sport Hybrid shown in Crystal Black Pearl SPORT RLX HYBRID The all-wheel-drive RLX Sport Hybrid is the most powerful and technologically advanced sedan we’ve ever made. SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD® (SUPER HANDLING ALL-WHEEL DRIVE™) BORN OF THE NEXT-GENERATION NSX PRECISION ALL-WHEEL STEER™ (P-AWS™) MANCE R FO R PE PERFORMANCE RLX Sport Hybrid shown in Crystal Black Pearl WE LCOME TO THE INDUSTRIAL EVOLU- TION SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD (SUPER HANDLING ALL-WHEEL DRIVE) It took a new level of technology to push the already advanced world of sports handling even further. This cutting-edge hybrid system delivers a driving experience like no other—incredibly responsive power delivery and precise, sure-footed handling. ELECTRIC 3 MOTORS LITER 3.5 V-6 ENGINE COMBINED HORSEPOWER spORT HYBRID SH-AWD 377 It should come as no surprise that the Sport Hybrid’s performance COMBINED calls to mind a V-8: Its three electric motors can produce 100 LB-FT TORQUE percent of their torque instantly. To deliver equally surprising fuel 341 economy, the hybrid system can employ only electric power at low speeds, in addition to using regenerative braking technology as needed. Straight-Line–Full-Throttle Acceleration Deceleration/Regenerative Braking This system’s benefits are just as dramatic when it comes to handling. In a tight curve, sp ORT HYBRID SH-AWD the rear electric motors independently From a standing start, the SH-AWD system apply positive and negative torque to the can use the rear motors to drive the rear rear wheels. This torque-vectoring effect wheels. Because they’re electric, these helps rotate the Sport Hybrid through turns motors are able to deliver all their torque with precision. In wet weather, SH-AWD instantly, which translates to dramatic monitors speed, wheelspin, driver input, acceleration off the line. Should you need and more to distribute power to the wheels this kind of acceleration at speed, the with the most traction.
