The flagship Acura RL sedan comes from Japan and is a modified version of the Honda Legend model, designed to replace it, as a result of which the luxurious first-born of the third-generation Acura car, despite a successful appearance update, still retains the recognizable features of Legend in its appearance. True, the desire of designers by all means to reduce the noise level in the cabin led to the fact that at idle the engine is simply not audible. When you, having added gas, start to move, only the trees and buildings running back make it clear that the car is moving.

The new suspension easily swallows most of the defects of the road surface, and the whistling of the wind is completely eliminated by such a novelty as spoilers on the side mirrors. Being a model of high skill designers, Unusually Durable and Practical The Acura RL maintains amazing calm when driving at any speed. The power of its six-cylinder engine working volume of 3.5 liters is enough to take you very quickly where you want without the slightest loss of unusual comfort.

Engine power - 210 hp In 1999, this sedan received a new look and a more sophisticated interior. There are serial side airbags, more powerful headlights and effective brakes. Considering that this model belongs to high-class sedans and costs at least 41 thousand dollars, it is already equipped as standard with almost everything that corresponds to the “rank” of such cars.

For example, there are two-stage airbags, automatic positioning of the steering column with memory for installation, automatic climate control from the rear seats, etc. In general, the 3.5RL sedan is not much different from the Honda Legend. Custom equipment only includes a DVD navigation system. In 2001, the flagship sedan 3, 5RL found a more powerful engine of 228 hp Emphasized the sports orientation of this machine.

In the basic configuration, the car is equipped with almost everything that is used on representative models. For example, the driver's seat is adjustable in 8 directions, and the front passenger - in 4, all of which have a memory for installation and electric heating. This model comes from Japan and is not much different from the Honda Legend.

The premiere of the pre-production prototype Acura RL 2005 model year was held in April 2004 at the New York Auto Show. The new generation looks more sporty and vibrant. Contrary to the tradition of recent years, the Acura RL of 2005 is smaller outside (4915x1845x1450 mm), but more spacious inside than its predecessor. For economic reasons, Honda Motor designers abandoned the classic layout, dominant in the sector of representative cars, in favor of all-wheel drive transmission with a front transverse arrangement of the power unit.
