Product Overview

Acura RL Mark I / Honda Legend (chassis code KA9) is an executive sedan in production from 1995 to 2004. It was available with a single V6 engine that displaced 3.5 liters; hence, it is also referred to as the 3.5RL. This engine was paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The 3.5RL had a standard 1990's Japanese sedan design, though it somehow lacked the appeal that similar vehicles from Nissan and Toyota had.
The 3.5RL had a minor facelift during its production run, though changes were small.
