With the standard engine, it is cited at getting around 225 horsepower. Gas mileage wise, the 2011 Acura RL is still pretty impressive, getting around 18 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway.

The controls are all electronic and easy to read, however there are a slue of buttons on the dash, but rest assure they are very simple to use. In addition, the drivers seat has adjustable lumbar support, as well as both front seats being heated. The rear seats have the addition of an arm rest in the center equipped with cup holders to give everyone the convenience that they desire. In addition, the drivers seat is equipped with sensors to recognize the driver in order to adjust the seat and the mirrors to the drivers preference, a huge plus for those that share their car with someone else.
Those who have ridden in the 2011 Acura RL often speak of virtually not hearing the engine. This is due to the many aspects that Acura included in the car to dampen the drive noise in order to have a better riding experience. In addition, there are springs in the seats to lessen the effect of bumps and potholes on the roads for those riding in the car. Those who do sit in the rear of the car will be pleasantly surprised at just how much space that they have, including ample head room and feet room. Too many luxury sedans on the market seem to forget the passengers, however Acura has made sure to remember them with the 2011 RL.
