One of the basic technical innovations restyling sedan Acura RL is an occurrence of the acoustic resonator — Gelmgoltsa. According to representatives of the company, this device in the world is applied for the first time on passenger cars and helps to reduce noise in interior from road.

One more change in car parts is the modernised 6-step automatic transmission which, according to representatives of Acura, allows to improve both car dynamic characteristics, and fuel efficiency. This transmission is aggregated with the former 3,7-litre gasoline engine with 300HP. Outwardly the car changed slightly: new radiator enclosure and new 18-inch aluminium all-weather wheels from Michelin.
