The 2012 Acura RL Elite. From its sculpted, streamlined body style and luxuriously refined interior to engineering and amenities that inspire as effortlessly as they exhilarate, the RL Elite sets an ultramodern tone for ultimate sedan luxury.
As long as your RL key is within sensor range, simply touch the inside of the driver's side door handle to unlock the door. Actually, you can open the trunk, start the engine, drive, shut the engine off and re-lock all the doors - all without ever touching a key.
Voice-activated satellite-linked navigation. Recognizing up to 800 verbal commands, the system is equipped with bilingual voice-recognition software and features real-time driving directions by voice or guiding-map display.
The in-dash 6-disc CD/DVD-Audio DTS®changer with an AM/FM/XM®* tuner can read various audio media formats to provide a true 5.1 digital surround sound experience.
Super Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) precision-tuned for the RL, this exceptionally advanced all-wheel-drive technology helps you gain more traction in less-than-perfect conditions and provides you with the confidence to carve the perfect corner in every other condition.
As they say, “All luxury and no performance can make for comfortably dull driving.” Thankfully, you'll find manual upshift and downshift paddle shifting transmission controls mounted just behind the RL Elite’s leather-wrapped steering wheel.
