2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid
The Redesign Lives on
The 2019 Acura RLX continues its redesigned look from last year, boasting the Acura diamond pentagon grille that's becoming an iconic part of Acura’s design. The hood, wheels, LED taillights, dual exhaust finishers, and rear diffuser turn heads. Inside, the RLX sports premium materials, like seats featuring contrast piping and stitching and numerous interior color options. The RLX Sport Hybrid offers impressive power and enviable fuel economy.
Overview
The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid reflects the brand’s Precision Crafted Performance design direction, which puts emphasis on the flagship sedan's design and performance. Simply put, the RLX Sport Hybrid, starting at $61,900,* is Acura’s most sophisticated and best-performing sedan ever, a nod to the direction the automaker is heading overall.
The Acura-exclusive Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) technology—inspired by the NSX supercar—creates a powerful and precise driving experience that’s unmatched in the luxury sedan segment. Acura has also simplified the RLX trim structure, making the brand’s sport hybrid technology more desirable.
The Perfect Ride for…
Those looking for a top-of-the-line luxury sports car with engaging exterior styling, an opulent interior, and a host of standard features will find their spirit animal with the 2019 RLX Sport Hybrid. It features an efficient and speedy hybrid powertrain that's also perfect for anyone looking to go green.
Drive & Handling
The 2019 RLX Sport Hybrid pairs a 3.5-liter V6 with two electric motors in each the front and rear wheels. It’s backed by a motor-integrated seven-speed DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission) with Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters, and the three-motor system combines for an impressive total output of 377 horsepower and 341 pound-feet of torque. The Hybrid Sport packs a punch, while maintaining excellent fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated combined mpg of 28 (28 city, 29 highway).**
The SH-AWD® compliments the engine and transmission by directing power to the wheels that need an extra push, without drawing excess power from the battery. Enjoy unmatched responsiveness and superior handling, compared to other executive cars.
