Overview
Cars like the 2014 Acura RLX Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The RLX Hybrid uses its 3.5L V6 engine, 3-electric motors hybrid system, and a 1.3-kWh battery to produce 377 horsepower. This gives the RLX Hybrid a 0-60 of 5.3 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2014 RLX Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 30 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the RLX Hybrid competes with the Lexus GS 450h Sedan, the Infiniti Q70 Hybrid Sedan, and the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid which has the least power output and is the most affordable sedan among the bunch. It offers 2 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $59,950.Â
