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.

  Drives Great "IF" You Can Get it to Start! - 2014 Acura RLX
  By Jacqueline Scott - October 24 - 1:45 am

  Purchased my 2014 RLX in May 2014. Other than the fact that the engine was kind of loud, and the car did not come with a spare tire of any kind, I was in love with my RLX the first time I drove it. My favorite feature is the All Wheel Steering I love the way the car handles. What I dont love is that something keeps draining the battery. The first time my car failed to start was in Jan 2015, eight months after I purchased it. This happened again in Sep 2015. The car was completely dead both times wouldnt make a sound. I had to call Acura roadside assistance to jumpstart the car each time. The car was taken to the dealership after each incident and they could not find what was causing the battery to drain, or any other problem with the vehicle. I have also had problems with the touch screen going blank, Forward Collision Warning activating for no reason, the Bluetooth/phone screen not responding, and voice activation not working properly. The Navigation system doesnt work very well either, once you "finally" figure out how to use it. I have had several problems trying to get the system to find addresses. The search feature doesnt do a good job of keying in on your current area for requested searches, not to mention, maps are outdated. As much as I like the Acura RLX, It is unreliable, so I would not recommend it to a friend or anyone else for that matter.

  Better Than It Looks - 2014 Acura RLX
  By texastom2 - August 7 - 7:48 pm

  Coming out of my first Acura a 12 TL AWD, I looked at everything else in its class. My wife got the 13 Lexus GS 350, which is very nice, but I needed more testosterone. I was very surprised when I test drove the RLX as most of the reviews by the experts were average at best.. It is a perfect fit for me. Bigger inside than my TL and the Lexus 350. Lots of room in the back seat. The control panel is much more intuitive than my TL. The ride is plenty smooth, the transmission feels great shifting in all gears, A/C is perfect. I really enjoy driving it. I leased it and did not know until I was handed the keys it comes with a great Roadside Assistance Pkg. basically covers everything.
