Overview
Cars like the 2018 Acura RLX Hybrid Sedan 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 and 341 lb-ft of torque. This gives the RLX Hybrid a 0-60 of 5.2 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 2018 RLX Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the RLX Hybrid competes with the Lexus GS 450h Sedan, the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Sedan, and the Infiniti Q70 Hybrid Sedan. It offers standalone Sport trim that carries an MSRP of $61,900.
