2023 Acura ILX
The 2023 Acura ILX is a luxury car manufactured and marketed by Honda under the Acura brand. The 2023 Acura ILX starts with a fairly well-equipped base trim and offers three major upgrade packages: Premium, A-Spec, and Technology. The 2023 Acura ILX looks like a luxury sedan bargain, as it has a premium exterior styling treatment and an attractive starting price.

The infotainment system is unfortunately out of date and lacks the sporty driving dynamics we expect in this class. Its 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is at least fuel efficient and smooth and pleasant to drive, which will really impress your neighbors and friends, more modern small luxury cars like the Audi A3, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. The Mercedes-Benz A-class is worth the extra expense to purchase. Otherwise, the all-new 2023 Honda Civic offers a better bang for the same amount of money.

The 2023 ILX is one of the best deals among subcompact luxury sedans. We think the value is optimized with the optional Premium package, which adds leather upholstery, upgraded infotainment features, and more driver assistants. The A-Spec package may give the illusion of improved performance, but the kit provides only superficial improvements that aren’t worth the dough.
2023 Acura ILX : Interior
Inside, Standard equipment is plentiful and includes a sunroof, heated sports seats with power settings for the driver, and dual-zone automatic climate control. However, the dashboard design looks outdated compared to the slick-looking screens that adorn the A-class line. While its interior isn’t as usable as the Civic, the ILX has a large trunk that goes against the sedan’s subcompact classification. Surprisingly, a touchscreen infotainment system isn’t standard on the base model, but all other equipment comes with an 8.0-inch unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the Acura’s dual-screen setup can be operated via physical buttons and buttons, the system’s outdated graphics and lack of intuitive menus make it outdated compared to more contemporary rivals.
2023 Acura ILX : Engine
The only powertrain is a front-wheel drive 201-hp four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. Its engine rolls over easily, and while the ILX isn’t the fastest car in its class, its character has us pine for VTEC-powered Honda and Acura sedans from years past. Its handling is balanced and confident, but not particularly catchy.
2023 Acura ILX Aspec
Road and wind noise permeates the cabin here more than rivals such as the Audi A3 or Mercedes-Benz A-class, especially at highway speeds. The ILX earns fuel economy ratings of 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway, competing with the front-wheel drive versions of the A3 and A-class. On our 75 mph highway fuel economy route, the ILX delivered exactly what the window sticker said: 34 mpg.
