2011 Acura RL

The 2011 Acura RL is the latest design concept change made by the automaker for this line of luxury sedan vehicles. For this model, there are some rather noticeable changes. The most noticeable perhaps is the front grill, which some experts have termed rather unflattering. So at this point, it is up in the air as to whether luxury sedan owners are going to embrace the new RL or not. However, Acura also used this model to change many things that past RL models have lacked. The 2011 Acura RL will be available in two trims, the Sedan and the Sedan with Navigation System which will allow the driver to control such things as the navigation and stereo by just directing a verbal command to the car.

 

For example, the 2011 Acura RL will have more power than the models before it. The standard model will have a 3.7 liter V6 engine, with the option for consumers to upgrade to the V8. However, after initial testing, most people found that the V6 engine performs well against those other luxury sedans that are utilizing the V8 engine. With the standard engine, it is cited at getting around 225 horsepower. Gas mileage wise, the 2011 Acura RL is still pretty impressive, getting around 18 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway.
