Acura RL Engines and Transmissions

The Acura RL engine combines gasoline V6 power with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. This setup suits unhurried commuting, with no manual gear changes to manage in traffic. When assessing a used example, check for an even idle and smooth transmission engagement and shifts, both cold and fully warmed up.
