With its complex all-wheel drive system, the 2016 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid already boasts a considerable amount of tech, but for the new model year, it’s getting a bit more. As part of a mild refresh of its flagship sedan, Honda’s luxury division is equipping the 2016 RLX Sport Hybrid with the AcuraWatch bundle of electronic safety features already available on other models.

Another new safety feature is the Cross Traffic Monitor, which appears similar to the rear cross-traffic alert systems offered by other manufacturers. Rounding out the roster of safety equipment is a new “Surround View” camera system, which provides a 360-degree view of the area around the car. Source: www.digitaltrends.com
