2018 Acura ILX Review
Overview
Is the ILX your introduction to luxury performance or is luxury performance your introduction to the ILX? Either way comfort and precision come standard. Choose from five models starting with the well-equipped Base ILX and moving through the top-of-the-line Technology Plus. Talk about design—the Jewel Eye automatic LED headlights don’t just look cool they simulate the sun. And the available A-Spec appearance package makes ILX Premium and Tech Plus models look even sportier. A powerful 2.4-liter engine comes with every ILX. So does an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission—the first one ever designed with a torque converter. And sequential sport-shift paddle shifters mean ILX drivers are masters of their domain. AccuraWatch safety and driver-assist features are available to help you avoid trouble and Acura Navigation with 3-D view is available to make sure you get where you’re going. Choose from a variety of colors options and accessories and build an ILX that’s all yours. The Acura ILX. It’s a luxury-performance prodigy.
Technology
The Acura ILX is loaded with technology. Available AcuraLink keeps you connected to the world so you can access the internet check emails and texts lock and unlock doors remotely get directions—you get the idea. Add AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic and steer clear of traffic jams forever. And every ILX comes with GPS-linked dual-zone climate control that uses solar sensors to measure the intensity and position of the sun. The temperature stays where it’s set—inside outside and on both sides of the cabin. The Acura ILX. Precision-crafted technology.
Safety
The Acura ILX is so safe it got a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Available AcuraWatch advanced driver assist systems alert you to things you might miss—like that car slamming on its brakes in front of you. Additional features include blind-spot and rear cross-traffic monitoring. And if worse comes to worst Acura Advanced Compatibility Engineering Body Structure evenly distributes frontal crash energy reducing forces transferred to the passenger compartment. The Acura ILX. Precision-crafted safety.
Performance

With up to twenty-nine hundred psi the ILX’s direct-injection system delivers more power and better efficiency. Pull a sequential SportShift paddle shifter with your right fingertip and grab another of the eight-speed dual-clutch transmission’s gears. Or pull the left one and downshift. Embrace every corner with the precise feel of electric power steering and amplitude-reactive suspension dampers. The Acura ILX. Join the fun.
