Used 2011 Acura RL for sale 

The 2011 Acura RL is available in one trim level. Technically, many will say there are two other trim levels but are just available packages that can be added on as optional extras. The packages are Technology packages and Advanced packages which add a lot of technology like navigation, voice activation, and safety features to the car. 

We recommend

We recommend buying the RL with the advanced package which adds safety features of the Collision mitigation braking system. The RL is well equipped in its solely available trim which includes features like 10-way power-adjustable front row seats, leather upholstery, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The 2011 Acura RL is powered by a 3.7 liter V6 which makes 300 hp and 271 foot-pounds of talk. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission which directs all the power to all the wheels. The transmission can be controlled with the help of a paddle-shift is mounted on the steering wheel column.

In the performance tests, the Acura RL does the 0 to 60 sprint in 6.0 seconds. It does the standing quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds and will then continue to its top speed of 160 mph. These are quite good numbers.

The most powerful of the above clause is the Acura RL which makes 300 hp. Then comes the Mercedes-Benz E350 which makes 268 hp followed by the Audi A6 making 265 hp and then comes a BMW 5 Series making 240 hp.

The Acura RL offers 17 MBG in the city, 24 mpg on the highway, and a combined LPG of 20. The RL comes with a fuel capacity of 19.3 gallons allowing it to have a range of 328 miles in the city, 463 miles on the highway, and has a combined range of 386 miles. The mpg numbers are quite decent from a sedan of this size.

The most combined range is given by the Audi A6 premium of 506 miles. Following this is the BMW 5 Series with 462 miles, the Mercedes-Benz E350 with 422 miles, and then comes the Acura RL with 386 miles.

The interior of the Acura RL can seat five occupants comfortably. The interior is attractive and well built it can also be easily compared to its competition in terms of quality of materials and in some cases like the genuine wood trim it can be argued it is better.

The front row seats are 10-way power-adjustable front bucket seats that have a two-level heating function, power lumbar, and driver seat memory. Ventilated seats are an option with the help of the technology package. The interior upholstery is leather and for added comfort, there is dual-zone automatic climate control. The RL comes with a 13.1 cu-ft of trunk space which can be expanded by folding down the rear seats. 

In terms of front legroom, the Acura RL gives more than the other three sedans. But in terms of rear legroom, the RL gives a similar amount to the other three cars. In terms of trunk capacity, the RL is comparatively lesser than its competition.

The Acura’s RL styling is a bit aggressive as said by Acurabut really is quite conservative. It looks like a better-suited and booted Honda Accord. If you look at it from the side you will notice the similarity between the two cars, even though the front and rear fascias are different from each other.

There is a simple list of exterior features, and this includes, 18” alloy wheel, automatic xenon headlights, and a sunroof. The technology package adds adaptive headlights to the mix.

In terms of exterior dimensions, the Acura RL is marginally longer than the other cars. The difference does come in the form of curb weight, where the new Acura is heavier by 200 pounds than its German competition, which has a small difference in curb weight between themselves. 

• 18” alloy wheels
• Automatic xenon headlights
• Sunroof
• Available adaptive headlights

The Acura RL has not yet completed its crash testing by the NHTSA. The IIHS has given decent scores in its safety testing with three “good” test scores and one “marginal” test score and has not gotten a Top Safety Pick Award. The Acura RL comes with many safety features, along with a few optional features which are part of the available packages. Some of the features are:

• Vehicle stability assist
• Anti-locking braking system
• Multiple airbag systems
• Traction control
• Tire pressure monitoring system
• Side-impact door beams
• Cruise control (advance package)
• Collision mitigation braking system (advance package)

The Acura RL is a well-equipped car in terms of features and even performance. The luxury sedan, however, is more expensive than its German competition which offers slightly lesser performance but a similar amount of luxury. 

The Acura also does not offer individual options, but packages which make it a bit pricey when it comes to customization. Lastly, it does look like a better-suited and booted Honda Accord, This makes us recommend not to buy one of them.
