Acura has released pricing for its upcoming flagship, the RLX, at the Detroit Auto Show this week. Powered by an all-new direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 rated at 310 horsepower, the front-wheel-drive sedan replaces the outgoing RL model (2011's worst-selling car of the year) as the automaker's new flagship.
The four-door will initially be sold in five grades (prices exclude a destination charge of $895):
RLX - $48,450
RLX with Navigation - $50,950
RLX with Technology Package - $54,450
RLX with Krell Audio Package - $56,950
RLX with Advance Package - $60,450
While the new model doesn't officially go on sale until mid-March, to provide potential customers "with the opportunity to experience the numerous new technologies," Acura will preview its sedan at dealers during a "Destination RLX" program beginning in February.
