Overview
The 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid Sedan fares well in the compact sedan segment. Adding $3,000 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the ILX hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $28,900 and is offered in 2 trims, reaching a price of MSRP $34,400 for its top trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 1.5L inline-4 engine supported by an electric motor powered by a 1.5 kWh battery pack. Mated to a CVT automatic, it makes 111 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 28 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 38 MPG on the hybrid variant, making the increase in sticker price worth it. Performance of the ILX hybrid remains at par with the gasoline variant with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 10.4 seconds. Acura offers the same 6 colors for the ILX hybrid. The ILX mainly competes against only the Honda Civic Hybrid. Alternatively, you could consider larger midsize sedan rivals such as the Toyota Camry Hybrid or the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid which are available in the same price range.
