Acura has a hard time building and maintaining brand identity over the past decade. Itself sure whether to try to "Tier 1" luxury status or position themselves as near-luxury brand, high-tech professionals for up-and-coming hip and retirees, the products reflect a lack of direction. 2013 ILX continued confusion, especially given the NSX reborn come, but it is worth evaluating the smallest Acura sedan on its own merits.
Based not so loosely on the latest generation of the Honda Civic, which has fixed ILX own face: a version, more toned-down feeling of wide-plastic grille chrome Acura introduced a few years ago. Fender gentle swell from the side, there is a line to accent the character shape, and graceful arches greenhouse passenger ove
compartment. Overall it is a handsome if not lust-inducing, sedan. Inside, it looks like a typical Acura: edgy curves, contours of the land, and easy-to-read gauges. This is a fun way to travel.
There are three versions of the ILX are available, the name for their drivetrains:, 2.0L 2.4L, and Hybrid. The 2.0L offers a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter rated at 150 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed automatic with paddle shifters standard. These scores EPA-estimated gas mileage rating 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.
2.4L is a sporty model, with what is essentially a Civic Si 201-horsepower, 170 pound-foot 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission - no automatic is offered with this model. This version of the fun-to-drive, but you will have to sacrifice the convenience of the automatic transmission to get it, but more on that later. It's rated at 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
Finally, ILX Hybrid to get away from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an integrated hybrid drive system and continuously variable transmission (CVT). Total combined power is rated at 111 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. EPA estimated gas mileage at 39 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.
All three share the same basic lightweight chassis, which means all three are quite agile in the corners, and the brakes are excellent. Tuning the suspension on the 2.4L with two other models, and is far from true sport-sedan feel. Hybrid Model 2.0L and put convenience above outright speed, and succeeded in giving a smooth, even ride quality. While the 2.4L is the sportiest models, the 2.0L is also fun-to-drive, with a passion enough for most people and is somewhat better gas mileage. This hybrid, on the other hand, was very slow in many situations - too slow even for fast suburban flow of traffic at times.
Inside, the cabin is comfortable and spacious - so shocking in the back seat, with enough room for even higher adult to fit comfortably. Ergonomically, things are laid out very well, with all the controls are easy to identify and use without taking one's eyes off the road. Fit and finish is also very good, with a solid-feeling construction and quality materials (plastic, rubber, and leather) across all touch-points. Low cabin noise, though not quite the tomb-quiet as you'd find in some luxury car a little further up the ladder, including his own Acura.
There are also wide enough rods, enough in-cabin storage in drawers and door pockets, a well placed cup holders. Solid cargo volume is 12.4 cubic feet (10.0 cubic feet for the Hybrid, which put the battery behind the rear seats). Visibility is very good thanks to the large windows and well placed seating position.
