Overview & Reviews

The 2014 Acura RLX is an all-new luxury sedan that replaces the RL at the top of the Acura lineup. The Sport Hybrid model introduces an impressive new hybrid powertrain concept that benefits fuel economy and handling.

• Spacious cabin
• Abundant standard features
• Fuel-efficient standard V6
• Sharp handling and strong fuel economy from Sport Hybrid.

• Disconnected steering feel
• Harsh ride with the 19-inch wheels and tires
• So-so display screen graphics with distracting interface
• Front seats get uncomfortable on longer drives.

  Overall, great car but it does have some problems - 2014 Acura RLX
  By SS - November 2 - 8:50 pm

  Im very happy with the performance, handling, ergonomics and fuel efficiency. The only major complaint I have is with the battery going dead when the car sits for more than 2 days. I suspect its a parasitic draw, possibly from the HFL module. Taking it back to the dealer and plan to leave it with them until they fix it. Apparently this is a problem with Acuras and I will not recommend buying this model, or any of the other ones, until they address it.

  Bad designn or bad quality? - 2014 Acura RLX
  By s_sc - May 7 - 6:15 pm

  I bought of my RLX-ADV about 4 months ago and only put on about 1500 miles so far. I have already took it back three times for repair. There were iPhone 4S issue (automatic dial out and hang out), low battery and charging system warning sign(happened in less than first 50 miles), and camera too hot/LDW, LKAS shut down (90 degree outside) during driving. Dealer recharged the battery, but no action to other issues. Dealer and Acura insisted the shut down is the proper action by design. SF Bay Area is known for good climate. The LDW, LKAS shut-down happened multiple times in April. I really wonder what the car would do in Summer!

  RLX Rattles down the road since purchase- no solution - 2014 Acura RLX
  By rlxregrets - March 10 - 9:08 pm

  I noticed rattles coming from front suspension after 500 miles. Brought it to the dealership and they couldnt find anything wrong with it. Dealership reported service rep had the same problem but worse after 7k miles. After another 2k miles the rattles increased in frequency and loudness from all 4 wheels. Dealership replaced front struts which resolved a majority of the rattle but the rear rattle persisted. After another visit, the replaced the rear rattle. The rear is better but now the front is ever present over every bump. When I had a 2014RLX loaner the vehicle had the same issue as both mine and the service reps car. Cant believe engineering isnt all over this issue. Beware of RLX.
