Improvements all around should not be a surprise, Acura consistently a leader in terms of development and moving the bar forward in what is expected in a luxury model at any level. This year the ILX adds quality leather interior trim, more advanced driver’s seat with more features, heated front seats, a multi-angle backup camera, an active noise cancellation, and a more powerful high-end sound system.

 

How does the 2014 Acura ILX perform

The base model gets an advanced and highly engineered 150-hp two-liter I4 with a smooth and quick five-speed automatic transmission complete with paddle shifters shifting control to the driver. Acceleration from a stop and at passing speeds is more than respectable thanks to the superior engineering that Acura is known for. Also available is the even sportier 201-hp 2.4-liter I4 with a fun and fast six-speed manual transmission. The hybrid model is incredibly fuel efficient and sacrifices nothing in terms of performance as the 1.5-liter I4 works in conjunction with the lithium-ion battery, saving fuel while coasting, slowing, and at stops, and kicking in for extra power as needed. Drivers will love the feel of the handling and the extreme comfort offered, but the best way to discover this is to take a test drive yourself at your local Long Island Acura dealership, Acura of Huntington.

The list of standard features is extremely generous within its class, and there are even more options available to fit the needs of any luxury driver. Some of the highlights include its optional navigation system, high-end sound system, and comfortable climate control system.
