The optional 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid version offers two electric motors, but with slightly improved fuel economy, less cargo space, and a smaller gas tank.

The 2021 Acura RLX Acura interior is comfortable and spacious and is equipped with high-quality materials that are used in most sedans on the road.
