Critics report that the 2015 Acura RLX’s standard six-cylinder engine delivers adequate power for daily driving. Still, many say it pales in comparison to the turbo- or supercharged options offered by many rivals, particularly with regard to acceleration. A six-speed automatic transmission is mated to the V6.
Earning an EPA-estimated 20/31 mpg city/highway, the 2015 RLX gets good fuel economy for the class. Most test drivers say the front-wheel drive RLX is tuned more for comfort than nimble handling, and most agree that, while it has sharp steering, it isn't as engaging to drive as rivals, many of which have rear- or all-wheel drive. Some critics also comment that the RLX sometimes has an uncomfortable ride over rough roads.
Interior Summary
The 2015 RLX features plenty of soft-touch materials in its quality interior, reviewers say, but it does not reach the upscale heights of many competitors. Critics note that the front seats offer ample support but add that they can cause discomfort on longer rides. They concur that the RLX provides ample rear-seat space. The RLX doesn't have as much trunk space as most rivals.
Standard features include lane departure warning, forward collision warning, Bluetooth and a USB port. Major options include a 14-speaker Krell audio system, navigation, adaptive cruise control and GPS-linked tri-zone automatic climate control. Most critics note that the navigation and audio systems are easy to operate, though they think the display screens for these systems could be sharper. The Krell audio system earns praise for its rich sound quality.
