Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Safety Equipment 2020 Sedan Specification

The 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan is equipped with an extensive array of advanced safety features designed to ensure maximum protection for both driver and passengers. This premium vehicle integrates the AcuraWatch suite, which includes essential driver-assistance technologies such as Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow, and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS). The CMBS utilizes a forward-facing camera and radar to detect potential frontal collisions, automatically applying the brakes if necessary. ACC maintains a set following distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting speed as needed, while the LKAS provides gentle steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

Additionally, the RLX Sport Hybrid features a robust Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, designed to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. This is complemented by a comprehensive airbag system that includes dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. For enhanced visibility, the sedan comes standard with a multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines, as well as front and rear parking sensors.

The Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control and Motion-Adaptive Electric Power Steering (EPS) further augment vehicle control, particularly in challenging driving conditions. The sedan also includes a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with location and pressure indicators to ensure optimal tire performance. Additional safety enhancements include the Blind Spot Information System (BSI) and Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, which provide critical alerts to the driver regarding vehicles in blind spots and approaching from either side when reversing. These comprehensive safety features collectively make the 2020 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Sedan a paragon of safety and reliability in the luxury vehicle segment.
