2012 Acura RL

Overview

The RL sits atop Acura’s sedan lineup and is smooth, quiet, and posh, with many high-tech features. Unchanged for 2012, it’s a tad snug inside and short on excitement versus its larger, more powerful competitors but is a stealthy, well-executed alternative to (ahem) livelier sports sedans. Smooth, composed, comfortable, and quiet at all speeds, the RL is a sublime long-distance cruiser. Fit and finish is flawless in the sumptuous cabin, which sports an appealing design but busy ergonomics.
