RLX
Certain cars have the ability to change how people feel. It’s an
elusive quality that’s difcult to measure. And even harder to create.
For us it means starting with one goal—bringing the driver and
vehicle closer. It sounds simple, but it changes everything. It changes
how we imagine possibilities, experiment with technology, and
engineer smarter solutions. We believe there’s no other way
to create cars like the Acura RLX and RLX Sport Hybrid. Vehicles
that demonstrate what happens when you push yourself to go
BEYOND THE MACHINE.

achievements in luxury, performance, and technology.

It should come as no surprise that the Sport Hybrid’s performance
alls to mind a V-8: Its three electric motors can produce 100
c
percent of their torque instantly. To deliver equally surprising fuel
economy, the hybrid system can employ only electric power at
low speeds, in addition to using regenerative braking technology
as needed.

SPoRt HybRiD SH-AwD
From a standing start, the SH-AWD system
can use the rear motors to drive the rear
wheels. Because they’re electric, these
motors are able to deliver all their torque
instantly, which translates to dramatic
acceleration off the line. Should you need
this kind of acceleration at speed, the
gasoline engine and all three electric
motors kick in simultaneously to deliver
it quickly.

REgENERAtiVE bAttERy
Straight-Line–Full-Throttle Acceleration Deceleration/Regenerative Braking
This system’s benefits are just as dramatic
when it comes to handling. In a tight curve,
the rear electric motors independently
apply positive and negative torque to the
rear wheels. This torque-vectoring effect
helps rotate the Sport Hybrid through turns
with precision. In wet weather, SH-AWD
monitors speed, wheelspin, driver input,
and more to distribute power to the wheels
with the most traction. And whenever you’re
braking or coasting, the ever-efficient system
captures kinetic energy and uses it to
charge its advanced lithium-ion battery.

P-AWS pairs with the Agile

While braking, each rear wheel adjusts
inward, increasing stability.

Using a network of connected structural
elements, ACE distributes frontal crash
energy more evenly throughout the vehicle.
This not only helps reduce the forces
transferred to the passenger compartment,
it also helps disperse the forces transferred
to the other vehicle in an impact.
Collision mitigAtion
brAKing system (Cmbs)
To help reduce the likelihood or the
severity of a frontal impact, the
available CMBS’s radar can determine
the distance and speed of objects
detected directly ahead. If you don’t
slow down, CMBS automatically tugs
at your seat belt and lightly brakes.
The instant the system determines it’s
too late to avoid a collision, CMBS
will tighten the seat belts further,
and brake rmly.
