Acura ILX Reviews

Performance

The Acura ILX tends to make its presence felt in a thunderous way; when you hear its engine revving, you’re listening to the galloping sound of 201 horsepower coming from a 2.4L Aluminum-Alloy engine. Why is that detail important? Well, it means the engine is lightweight, which makes for a more responsive and fuel-efficient driving experience. The 180 lb-ft of torque further shows off its muscle.

Interior

The second you open the car door of the Acura ILX, you’ll immediately notice the plush leatherette-trimmed sport seats that feel as comfortable as they look. The standard heated front seats will be a toasty treat on cold winter days, while the standard Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control will ensure the entire car has proper air filtration.

The fold-down rear seats will come in handy in case you need extra room for groceries or if you need extra room for your gym bag.
