New for 2005 Acura RL
The RL is completely redesigned for 2005, featuring Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD), as well as the most powerful engine ever put into a production Acura. A number of new technologies debut on this luxury sedan, including the first use of live traffic information displayed in the navigation screen.
Introduction
The RL sits atop Acura's sedan lineup, having replaced the Legend in 1996. For the 1999 model year, the RL received over 360 modifications, including new styling, a refined interior and an improved suspension. In addition, side airbags were made standard, as were high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights. An all-new, third-generation RL was introduced for the 2005 model year.
