Acura RLX Concept

Acura held the world debut of the Acura RLX Concept at the New York auto show, which indicates the design and engineering direction for Acura's flagship sedan, set to launch at the beginning of 2013.

The RLX Concept's design continues the brand's ‘Keen Edge' design philosophy, with bodyside surfacing clearly related to the ILX we first saw in Detroit. The RLX maintaining approximately the same length as the current RL but with a wheelbase increased by 50mm while the front overhang has been reduced by the same amount.

The interior was not displayed, although the car will feature communications, navigation and infotainment via two LCD screens (one 8-inch display and one 7-inch touch screen) proving access to functions including audio, heating and cooling, navigation and voice-to-text SMS text messaging.
