Overview

Cars like the 2019 Acura RLX Hybrid might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness 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 4.9 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 2019 RLX Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan, the RLX Hybrid competes with the Audi A6, the Mercedes-Benz AMG E 53, and the Lexus ES 300h. It offers standalone Sport trim that carries an MSRP of $61,900.

Buying Advice

The Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan comes with a standard all-wheel-drive system and a long list of standard features such as a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, leather upholstery, heated first and second-row seats, cooled first-row seats, a head-up display, a powered sunroof with a powered rear sunshade, and a lot more.
