The restyled first-generation Acura RLX is a full-size luxury sedan built around a V6 core, offered either as a conventional front-drive car or as a more complex electrified all-wheel-drive version.
Every Acura RLX engine here is a 3.5-litre V6, but the powertrain around it differs. The 3.5 AT pairs gasoline power with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, giving smooth, predictable daily manners. The 3.5 DSG adds hybrid assistance, a robotic gearbox and all-wheel drive for stronger traction and sharper response.
