Things as they are, the sedan segmentno matter what size they are, It is in the doldrums in virtually every market in the world. This is the general situation, but as with any rule, there is always an exception that makes it true. only the premium cut sedans they are putting up with the rate in the face of the drop in sales but this situation does not occur in all the world's markets either.
SUVs triumph in the United States (as in Europe), all-terrain vehicles and pick-ups, and behind them are sedans and minivans. However, in the country there are still a legion of fans who are willing to buy a sedan before a greedy and polluting block of metal. Acura is one of premium firms with the best reputation in the American country and a large part of this image is due to its parent company, Honda.
El acura portfolio It is composed, for the most part, of elegant and technological sedans premium cut. Obviously there is no shortage of SUVs and all-terrain vehicles, but the bulk of its sales are supported by cars such as the ILX or the RLX. The latter is the largest, most luxurious, well-equipped, powerful and technological sedan offered by the compass firm in the United States. At a technical level the Acura RLX is built on the modern platform modular that gives life to the recently presented H.
His credentials demonstrate what Acura is capable of hand in hand with Honda. The RLX It has a mechanical range supported by V6 petrol blocks with powers ranging between 310 hp and 377 hp. The latter engine is a hybrid V6 coupled with three electric motors (one on the front axle and two on the rear) that allows the RLX to offer urban fuel consumption. It is in turn attached to a dual-clutch automatic cut-off gearbox and 7 relations. All in all, the power that this block declares is when all four motors work at the same time, although its performance is variable, since not all the motors necessarily have to work at the same time.
On an aesthetic level the Acura RLX incorporates the design language that its range brothers already show and that can be seen in their new headlights and front grill. Where the firm's largest saloon has evolved is in the design of its passenger compartment and in the safety and technological equipment. The reason is that you can incorporate elements like adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking system or remote start.
Su Official presentation will be in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance and in principle its arrival is only confirmed for the Canadian and United States market. Hopefully Honda thinks about it and sends Acura on its way to Europe. We would love.
