As the technology and performance flagship in the Acura lineup, the 2008 Acura RL is an advanced luxury sedan with exquisite attention to detail and a well-appointed interior.

With its smooth 290-horsepower 3.5 liter V6 engine, the RL accelerates with authority. The standard 5-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift features Grade Logic Control to hold a fixed gear while going downhill and steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters offering quick manual gear changes. The standard Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system enhances dry-road handling and stability in inclement weather by varying power distribution between the front and rear wheels.

Standard safety features include standard 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic Braking Distribution to ensure sufficient power during hard braking while preventing wheel lockup. The available Collision Mitigation Braking System automatically applies the brakes if an impending collision is detected. Standard Vehicle Stability Assist integrates Traction Control to minimize wheel slip during acceleration and maintain control during evasive maneuvers. Front and rear occupants are protected by six airbags, including dual front, front side, and side curtain airbags. The available Active Front Lighting System and Xenon High-Intensity Discharge headlamps illuminate the road twice as good as conventional systems and illuminate the edges of the road by swiveling up to 20 degrees.

A standard Bose® Audio System with 260 watts, 10 speakers, DVD audio, CD/MP3 capability, and XM® Satellite Radio creates a fully-integrated, amazingly crisp sound. The available navigation system uses voice recognition to recognize over 680 voice commands and features a comprehensive destination database to guide your way. With real-time traffic, you can be alerted to any potential trouble on your route. The standard keyless access system enables you to start the vehicle with the keyfob in your pocket, while the 8-way heated power seats with leather will coddle you in full-body warmth and comfort.

As the showpiece of the Acura brand, the 2008 Acura RL is a supremely comfortable and capable luxury sedan that showcases the latest technological innovations.
