With all this power, there’s sure to be cabin noise right? Not so in the all new 2011 Acura RL, available from this Chesterfield Acura dealer. Thanks to “wheel resonator technology’ within the 18” five spoke aluminum wheels, cabin noise is reduced by up to 15%. This all new technology is the first time it’s been showcased in a production automobile. The wheel resonator technology uses a polypropylene Helmholtz resonator around the center portion of the inside of the wheel which lowers middle frequency noise and along with floorboard insulation alterations, Acura successfully lowered the cabin noise by 1.3dB.

While enjoying the quiet interior cabin, Acura fans will also enjoy the updated appearance including glistening wood trim along the dash and doors as well as standard voice controls on every trim of the 2011 Acura RL. Frank Leta Acura fans can even furnish their 2011 Acura RL with “Seacoast,” a new light beige leather trim option. The exterior of the updated 2011 Acura RL has also been redesigned, putting forth a smoother appearance.
