2017 Acura ILX Performance

Underneath its hood, the 2017 Acura ILX comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that’s good for 201 horsepower and 180 lb-ft of torque. That motor works with an eight-speed dual clutch transmission that also features a torque converter. This unique gearbox provides the new Acura ILX with lightning-fast shifting abilities, as well as improved ride quality. Also, as far as 0-to-60 times go, the 2017 Acura ILX can accomplish that task in less than seven seconds.

2017 Acura ILX Efficiency

Thanks in part to its eight-speed dual clutch transmission and four-cylinder motor that features both direct gas injection and intelligent variable valve timing, the 2017 Acura ILX is able to yield EPA-estimated fuel economy of 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Those estimates put the ILX’s efficiency ratings well above those of its main rival, the soon-to-be discontinued Buick Verano. In addition, every new Acura ILX comes standard with a 13.2 gallon fuel tank.
