Overview
The 2015 Acura ILX is a compact sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $27,050. For that price, it mainly competes with the Buick Verano and the Mazda 3 Sedan. Between 3 trims, the ILX offers 2 powertrains. The standard engine is a 2.0L inline-4 engine making 150 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. If more power is required, there is also a 201 horsepower-making 2.4L inline-4 engine paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. The ILX reaches 60 mph from zero in 9 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.9 seconds with the 2.4L inline-4 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the ILX can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 28 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 6 striking colors, the ILX comes in, really pull you towards itself.
