As powerful as it is luxurious, the 2007 Acura RL comes with a 290 horsepower V6
engine and a five-speed automatic transmission that uses Acura's "SportShift"
technology to give the driver control over gear selection - it even has paddle
shifters mounted on the steering column. In addition, it comes with all-wheel
drive, assisted steering, and an non-skid braking system that also includes
high-friction brake pads.
Available in three trim levels, with the MSRP for the base model starting at
$45,780, the RL has a suave exterior that features a motorized sun roof with a
slant feature, fog lights, and automatic on/off headlights, fog-proof mirrors
which remember driver positioning, lit door handles, an invisible antenna,
heat-proof emerald-tinted glass, and a timed rear window defogger.
The RL's interior is crammed with comfort and convenience features, including a
hands-free cellular phone interface and multi-zone climate control. There is
also a full media package that includes a 10-speaker surround sound system from
Bose, as well as a a 6 disc cd changer with AM/FM radio and MP3 playback. Other
features include tiller mounted controls for the throttle control system as well
as the electronics and entertainment systems, and an motorized adjustable
steering column with driver setting memory. The included features continue,
adding motorized windows and door locks, a pedometer, front door cubbies, and
cup holders. After that, the rear side sunshades, and 12-volt power outlets.
Acura doesn't overlook safety, either. The RL's safety features include
sequential front airbags, and shotgun front airbags that disarm in the absence
of a front-seat passenger. Head protection airbags are present as well, as are
race car safety belts at all seating positions, anchors and tethers for child
seats, and mirror-embedded turn signals. Finally, there is a vehicle stability
system that offers skid control.
Comfort, convenience, and power, and estimated fuel efficiency of 18 mpg (city)
and 26 (highway), make the 2007 Acura RL an excellent choice in luxury sedans.
