The quality of material used for the cabin is flawless and up to the mark. However the technology of the Acura’s RLX 2019 is a bit old and it disappoints the customers because the competitors in the market offer highly up to the mark and latest technology. There is an eight inches screen for navigation along with seven inches screen for audio, entertainment, climate control and other features.
