"While some surfaces have nice soft-touch coverings, the bulk of the ILX's interior feels hollow and plasticky an unfortunate carryover from the ILX's last-gen Civic roots."- Edmunds
Get inside the 2020 ILX and you would quickly realize there is a lack of real estate. The front seats sit high above the ground and provide sufficient support and space but move to the back and taller folks will find the space to be a pinch. The cabin quality isn't exactly low-rent but there is a couple of plasticky and cheap materials is not so prominent areas. Compared that to its actual rivals i.e. the Germans you would quickly realize why the ILX has a far lower asking price. Even though the ILX is an entry-level Acura it does pack in a host of features like heated seats, simulated leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, etc.
The infotainment on the other hand is a 5-inch unit on the standard model while going for the Premium package adds an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 7-inch touchscreen sitting at the top of it with the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-speaker sound system, HD Radio, etc. Standard features include a six-speaker stereo, Bluetooth, Siri Eyes Free, etc. While the Technology package when had along with the Premium package adds navigation and a 10-speaker premium sound system.
In the name of practicality, the 2020 ILX is not that giving as it only offers 12.4 cubic feet of space in its trunk, which is below average in the segment. If you have a couple of luggage to keep then either you leave the luggage or the rear passengers as the rear seats only fold flat instead of 60/40-split which is another bummer.

Inside Acura ILX you can fit four adults with ease although the seating for five is what it offers. Compared to the Mazda 3, which is the least spacious among the rivals, the ILX falls short in rear legroom and headspace. While the Camry has undisputedly the most spacious rear seats. Coming to the cargo space here also the ILX retains the last spot while the Civic with over 2 cubic feet more cargo space takes the first spot followed by the Camry.
