Acura removed the Legend name for its models after a market survey, which showed that consumers are familiar with Acura products, and so it was not necessary to associate the model names with Honda.

For , the SH-AWD was the first full-drive system to distribute power not only between the axles, but also between the rear wheels, using a technology called vectorization of torque.

This process can be compared to the control of an ordinary rowing boat: if you turn on an external paddle in rowing, it will lead to a quick turn with the minimum understeer characteristic for vehicles with a heavy front end. In the second generation, RL uses the newer J-series engine with 3. To add a more sporty character to the car, the Drive-by-Wire servo drive and a five-speed sequential automatic gearbox with shift paddles were used.

Heating and air conditioning systems are connected to a light sensor and GPS positioning, so the temperature in the cabin remains constant in any situation.

Based on the position of the sun and the orientation of the car, the system can automatically supply additional cooling when driving in the sun and vice versa. Among other new RL options, we can note an active head lighting system that directs the luminous flux with the steering wheel. LEDs LED replaced the traditional lamps at the back and on the turn indicators built into the side mirror casings, as well as in the interior lighting.

Also in the model were used atypical for its price category materials.
