2009 Acura RL

The 2009 Acura RL is redesigned, gaining freshened styling and more power. Acura’s flagship sedan has standard all-wheel drive. The sole powertrain teams a 300-hp 3.7-liter V6 engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. This replaces a 290-hp 3.5-liter V6.

Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Option packages, priced as separate models, include a Technology Package that has voice-activated navigation with rearview camera and access to real-time traffic and weather information.

A second Technology Package adds adaptive cruise control and Acura’s Collision Mitigation Braking System, which signals of approaching objects and applies the brakes and tightens the front seatbelts if it determines a collision is unavoidable. Also available are a wireless cell-phone link and heated and cooled front seats.
