INTERIOR

The interior will feature dual LCD screens an eight-inch screen for display purposes and a seven-inch touch screen for inputs. Acura says the latter will provide one-touch access to audio, HVAC, and navigation systems, and that it offers haptic feedback. The car will feature an app that will allow access to smartphone e-mail, text-message, and contact functions. A 14-speaker top-shelf audio system will be offered, and USB connectivity is standard. Acura claims the RLX has interior volume on par with that of the Lexus LS, but declined to provide numbers. At minimum, a spacious cabin will address one of the RL's major drawbacks.
