Acura RL Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1995–1998) — First Generation
The first-generation Acura RL is a luxury sedan with an emphasis on comfort and relaxed driving. If you’re considering a used example, its maintenance history deserves as much attention as its equipment.
The 3.5 AT combines a gasoline engine with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Automatic gear changes make stop-and-go traffic less demanding for you as the driver. On a test drive, check for smooth shifts and prompt engagement when selecting drive or reverse, both useful indicators of transmission condition.
