2006 Acura RL Sedan

The Acura RL was re-introduced as an all-new model for 2005 featuring a new 3.5L V-6 engine and what Acura calls “SH-AWD” (the “SH” stands for “Super Handling”), which helps steer the vehicle and enhance its maneuverability by compensating for understeer and oversteer while cornering. There are few changes for 2006, most notably the addition of Michelin PAX run-flat tires as well as an optional Technology Package that includes CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System) that employs a radar unit in the car’s grille to monitor distance and the closing rate between the RL and the vehicle ahead of it. The system then calculates the likelihood of a collision and can intervene to avoid the accident. Also part of this package is adaptive cruise control that uses the same components to maintain distance when cruising down the road.
