Vehicle Highlights

Minor equipment revisions keynote Acura's 2004 RL. Honda's luxury-brand flagship sedan has unaltered styling and retains its V6 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, and antiskid/traction-control system. Front side airbags are standard; rear or curtain side airbags are unavailable. Standard navigation system accepts voice commands, and satellite radio joins the list of standard equipment. Interior-trim revisions complete the updates.
