The 2008 Acura RL carries over with no changes pending a redesign due in calendar '08 as a 2009 model. Acura's flagship sedan has standard all-wheel drive. The sole powertrain teams a 290-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Option packages, priced as separate models, include a Technology Package that has voice-activated navigation with rearview camera. A second Technology Package adds run-flat tires, adaptive cruise control, and Acura's Collision Mitigation Braking System, which signals of approaching objects and applies the brakes and tightens the front seatbelts if it determines a collision is unavoidable.
