Overview

Cars like the 2014 Acura ILX Hybrid Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The ILX Hybrid uses its 1.5L Inline-4 engine, a single-motor hybrid system, and a Lithium Ion Traction battery to produce 111 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. This gives the ILX Hybrid a 0-60 of 10.8 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2014 ILX Hybrid achieves a combined fuel economy of 38 MPG. As part of the compact sedan class, the ILX Hybrid competes indirectly with midsize sedans such as the Ford Fusion Hybrid, the Toyota Camry Hybrid, and the Honda Accord Hybrid. It offers 2 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $28,900.

Buying Advice

The base trim has a decent number of standard features with respect to its price tag. However, a majority of desired features such as satellite radio, heated front seats with a leather surface, a 10-speaker ELS surround-sound system, and more are bundled together and given on the upper Technology Package trim. You can select the less costly base or pay an extra $5,700 for the Technology Package.
