Acura RLX Parts & Accessories

The Acura RLX was the brand's flagship sedan from 2014 to 2020, available in standard front-wheel-drive and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD configurations. The Sport Hybrid variant combined a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 with three electric motors and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, producing 377 combined horsepower and offering a uniquely sophisticated driving experience for the class.

Popular Upgrades

Exhaust system upgrades for the RLX's J35Y V6 are a natural first step, improving sound and extracting more from the naturally aspirated engine. Suspension upgrades including lowering springs and performance struts firm up the RLX's touring-biased setup for improved handling response. Appearance upgrades like wheel packages, LED lighting conversions, and window tinting are popular for RLX owners looking to give the understated sedan a more premium presence.

What is the difference between the RLX and RLX Sport Hybrid?

The standard RLX used a 3.5L V6 with front-wheel drive, producing 310 horsepower. The RLX Sport Hybrid added three electric motors to the rear axle and front wheels in an SH-AWD configuration, boosting output to 377 combined horsepower with all-wheel torque vectoring capability.

How does the RLX Sport Hybrid's electric system affect maintenance?

The Sport Hybrid's electric motors and battery pack add complexity to the drivetrain, but Honda's hybrid technology is well-proven across the Accord and MDX platforms. Standard maintenance intervals follow conventional service schedules, with the battery warranted for 8 years or 100,000 miles on most model years.
