Acura's new RLX Sport Hybrid is probably the best car you'll never test drive.
Whatever the reason
Sleeping style or catastrophic name change from legend to RL
Sales of luxury cars that were once the most popular in North America fell (
Ac songs accounted for almost half of their peak sales)
The sport hybrid version of RLX is one of the most advanced luxury cars that money can buy.
In fact, the super handling of electrified songs is not only an electrified versionWheel-Drive (SH-AWD)
Porsche's million-dollar technology equivalent
$918, but it will support Acura's own supercar NSX, although the gasoline engine moves backwards and the motor moves forward.
Unfortunately, if there is any indication of RL's recent sales history (
Acura has sold less than 150 RL/RLXs per year on average since 2008)
Few of you will find yourself behind the wheel of this gem.
More regrets.
What is it that makes this 2015of-the-
Is the Line song so noteworthy?
First of all, the it movement is no less than four independent powers: the power of ac songs everywhere. 5-

Directly mounted on the engine/transmission and 36-
Each of the two rear wheels has an hp unit.
More importantly, their skill to power RLX is amazing.
Depending on the mode, it is possible to have the gas engine drive the front wheel separately, or, if all hands are required on the deck, all four units are one unit at the same time (fairly rapid)377-

At a more gentle request, only two motors are used when leaving the traffic lights, their low
Provides an end torque of at least moderate acceleration.
On a fairly flat ground, the hybrid RLX is also able to glide at 80 kilometers per hour by electricity alone.
Under slippery conditions, a gas engine powered for the front wheel and a combination of motors powered for rears provide fullwheel-
Traction needs to be driven.
However, if this is all the deception that the hybrid movement must provide, it will be a waste of complexity;
The less complex hybrid has the same performance.
The last little trick in the RLX repertoire made me salivate about the prospect of this technology --
Ed song uses these two individually controlled rear motors for torque-
Vector distribution.
The torque vector is fancy for uninitiated-
Schmancy buzzword delivers different amounts of power to the rear wheels to make the motor car turn better.
In essence, what happens is that the microcomputer slows down the internal rear wheel while accelerating the external rear wheel, both of which encourage faster steering.
The whole of traditionwheel-drive systems —
Like ura's own SH-AWD system —
This is achieved by simply braking the inside wheel while sending more power to the outside.
However, the infinite control of the RLX electric motor allows Acura to slow down the internal rear wheels by reversing the polarity of its motor, while sending more electrons to its relative twins.
A keen mind, especially the awareness of environmental protection, will recognize the reversal of the polarity of the inner wheel, as regenerative braking is considered an excellent fuel economy for electric vehicles.
This means that while trying to turn, RLX is actually charging the battery.
Many modern cars claim to combine capabilities that look different in performance and economics. Only one —

Can claim to do both at the same time.
It's good, but how does super hybrid work in real life?
Well, Acura says it provides V8 performance with a fuel economy of 4-cylinder.
The specification of Acura's 377 horses seems to underestimate the acceleration of RLX, half of which is absolutely correct.
On the other hand, it seems too fairy tale to assume it sips fuel like four people: my 9.
3 liters/100 km, an average increase of about 7.
The rating of RLX is. NRCan's 7.
The highway rating of 5 liters/100 km seems to be appropriate, but claims to pass at just 8.
The 100 km liters of city driving seem a little optimistic.
Nevertheless, a 9.

The large 1,980-kilogram limousine is not too shabby.
In addition, like other hybrid varieties, sports hybrid varieties also have a certain sensitivity to temperature.
At warmer temperatures, it switches to EV mode faster and can travel further by power alone, both of which should be slightly more efficient.
Can a hybrid be RLX? Not yet.
If Honda were bolder, it might have built the top of itflight sedan —

The battery also occupies considerable space in the trunk, limiting the capacity of the goods.
That is to say, the integration of the battery, 3.
5L gas engines and three motors are by far the most comprehensive ballet of electronics and hydrocarbons.
All of these complex costs, but $69,990 is a message worth promoting.
RLX gets more attention than it does.
Lost in all this complicated talk
Technically, I hardly mention the more prominent points of the RLX, such as handling and in-house comfort.
The motion mix handle is more clever than its melancholy exterior shape.
It's not a BMW, but it's not a Lexus ls460 either.
Combined with the engine that makes a different vroom noise, there is a surprising movement at the topline Acura.
Inside is what you expect from ac song.
Exquisite luxury, high technical content.
My only complaint is that the AcuraLink system is unnecessarily complex and relatively difficult to operate.
Ordinary tasks, such as pairing a phone or managing a split screen, cost too much energy compared to other systems.
There are three different screens.
Too many things happen with traditional meters, radio/air conditioning interfaces and AcuraLink screens.

On the other hand, button transfer is to die for it.

2014 Sport Hybrid can work in the following mode: EV start: in light-to-
Only the rear motor load is moderate, and the driving power supply is strictly dependent on the battery.
In the electric vehicle launch mode, RLX can travel 10 kilometers on a fully charged battery.
Engine Drive: at slight acceleration after launch, the front wheel only picks up the load using engine power, while the front motor reverses the polarity into a hair motor and pumps the electronics back to 1. 3-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery.
Electric car cruise: when cruising at speeds below about 80 km/h, the rear motor can only power the rear wheels using battery power.
Power acceleration: at a speed of up to 120 km/h under hard acceleration, all four wheels are driven by a combination of a gas engine driving the front wheel and a rear motor driving the rear wheel.
The front motor only provides assistance at the acceleration of the standing start, and does not provide any power at the speed of the highway.
Engine cruise: when cruising at a higher speed, Acura has determined that the best fuel economy can be achieved only if the gas engine powers the front wheels.
Front motor-
At the same time, the generator uses excess engine power to charge the battery as much as possible.
Deceleration: when braking, both front and rear motors reverse polarity and pump the power back to the battery pack.
In this regeneration mode, the engine is disconnected to eliminate engine friction and to maximize charging.
AWD: in wet and slippery conditions, all four wheels use a gas engine to drive dual motors for front and rear wheels.
Corner with deceleration: the internal rear motor reverses the polarity to provide negative torque for the internal rear wheels. Positive (driving)
The torque continues to be applied to the external rear wheels, providing a faster turn speedin.
The reversal of the polarity of the internal rear motor also provides a regenerative brake to charge the battery.

At the corner exit, however, this positive torque is sent to both rear wheels to provide maximum acceleration. —
