The Base comes standard with a 300-hp, 3.7-liter, 24-valve, SOHC VTEC aluminum alloy V6 engine that's rated for 271 lb-ft of torque. All trims also come with a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sequential SportShift operated via paddle shifters and Grade Logic Control. Its Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) puts power to all four wheels through the use of a double wishbone front suspension and multilink rear suspension. The Acura RL takes premium unleaded gas and is rated to get 17 mpg city/24 highway. Standard for all 2012 RL trims are automatic climate control (a dual-mode, dual zone system that allows driver and passenger to create their own microclimates), rear-seat climate controls, heated 10-way power front seats with driver memory functions and 2-way power lumbar support, keyless ignition/entry, a power rear sunshade and manual rear side sunshades, sunroof, auto-dimming mirror, perforated leather-trimmed seats, wood-grain-trimmed gear shift knob and steering wheel, power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, xenon high-intensity discharge headlights and 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

All equipment is available for the Advance trim, which also includes power-folding side mirrors, real wood cabin accents and adaptive cruise control.

Numerous safety features are standard in all 2012 RL trims, including 6 airbags (2 front, 2 front-side and 2 full-length side curtain airbags) with an occupant position detection system, active head restraints, antilock disc brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist systems, vehicle stability assist system and tire pressure monitoring. A collision mitigation braking system is standard for the Advance trim. Exterior colors available for the 2012 Acura RL are Crystal Black Pearl, Platinum Frost Metallic, Pomegranate Pearl, Alberta White Pearl, Forged Silver Metallic and Graphite Luster Metallic. Interior leather colors available are Ebony and Taupe, with Seacoast available only with Pomegranate Pearl and Alberta White Pearl exterior choices. A number of 2012 Acura RL owners have noted how smooth the vehicle's ride is and how agile it is when asked for more power. The SH-AWD system gives the Aura RL extra grip when cornering and great traction in all weather conditions. Sales of the Acura RL have slipped in recent years, as the model has lost favor with consumers who favor sportier models, such as the Audi A6, Infiniti M37 and the Hyundai Genesis. With a replacement for the RL looming for 2013, Acura hopes to regain footing it has lost in the midsize luxury sedan market in recent years.
