2019 Acura ILX A-Spec Review - Entry Level Luxury

[@NicoMyers]

I like the new grille, the old break made me physically uncomfortable for some reason, kind of asphyxiating. The new one actually looks nice, even with the giant logo

[@natepeters6539]

New grille is sooo much better than the beak, especially in the bigger Acuras like the TLX. But...I think the NSX looks better with the painted beak vs the “grille”

[@NicoMyers]

@@natepeters6539 Yeah, I definitely don't mind it so much on the NSX, I think because it's thin and sharp, rather than the slab of chrome on the street models

[@peruprofundodance]

New grill is much better

[@HPN620]

I personally don’t mind the front end but I am more concerned about the performance. Almost 10 years and we are about the same performance of a integra type r. To be honest, in today’s world we would need maybe 250 hp out of a 2.0L 4 banger small performance luxury sedan

[@nedzadcavka8741]

People that complain about everything are annoying. They want luxury interior, flashy exterior, they want good mpgs, they want 400 hp, they want the car to be reliable. Oh and they want it to be cheap. I think this ILX is a really nice car. A naturally aspirated engine with a great transmission like that is what I prefer.

[@legacyends3685]

Joey N id say that for most car companies besides Honda and Toyota. There luxury brands such as this Acura, and Lexus hold up remarkably well compared to other luxury or performance cars. I’d expect this car to last well past 15 years.

[@jrasero23]

mmm, you are only as reliable as the tech of the time. We have seen this with Honda throughout 2008-2013 witht heir 3.5 V6 engines that had VCM misfires but eventually that was ironed out after a class-action lawsuit and since then the 3.5 V6 6 speed has been one of the most bullet proof engines out there. We saw this a few years back with Honda and Acura's implementation of the ZF 9 speed transmission which they simply couldn't calibrate right, and while the 9 speed is still a tad wonky they aren't recalling anymore TLX sedans. When I had my 2016 ILX a few people complained about weird shifts every now and then, but it seems since 2016 they have ironed those out.

[@svge_1934]

Joey N not exactly acura and lexus r behind germans in power because germans are willing to sacrifice reliability for power were as japanese prioritize reliability

[@conyey]

@@kristians2704 begs the question... why would I care about luxury, power, or handling if my car is in the shop 1-2 months out of the year due to UN-reliability?

[@NuhanHidayat]

The new grille is way better than the old one

[@user-ut3yo7ul7z]

It definitely is. But the RLX & MDX needs to be redesigned for the grill to fit

[@ConsciousRobot]

Look at them side by side! How does anyone think the newest grill looks better? The design of the headlights and grill doesn't flow nicely like the previous model. It's awkward, clumsy, less elegant, and less aggressive. As a designer for 20 years with a decent grasp on aesthetics, this seems obvious and undeniable to me when comparing side by side.

[@morrisombiro]

Conscious Robot I kindly disagree, it looks more aggressive, in person too. The old one was just ugly with the chrome bar!

I've got a 2020 ilx at the moment. I'm single, and I live with my grandma. Literally the perfect daily for a single person. It's got the back seats when I absolutely need it but the size is practically perfect. And the mileage is also a plus. I do regret getting the white, although it looks killer when it's kept clean. Before this I had a 2002 acura TL. I loved it for the short time I had it. Glad I had an opportunity to modernize.

[@adamyahya4638]

Acura is finally starting to get their styling in order after about 10 years. Next steps is that they really need to further differentiate themselves with Honda. There's no reason for anyone to get an ILX or TLX when you look at how great the new Civic and Accord are. Acura sorely needs to add a Type S version to the ILX (with a manual) with more power and/or introduce some sort of entry level affordable sports car that comes in 2 doors. They really need excitement at the mainstream consumer level again.

[@MarshalBeard]

The problem with the "acura needs to distance themselves from honda" argument is that everywhere else except North America, acura doesn't exist. Everywhere else, this is a Honda ILX. I think the only options are to make acura a global thing and actually separate them, or just demolish acura and make em all Honda's for North America. I think they should all carry the Honda badge. The whole idea of acura in the first place was to price gouge the dumbass north Americans because "its not a Honda, its an acura".

[@E82N55]

Marshal Beard unfortunately that is the American middle class anxiety for you.

[@ConsciousRobot]

No, the previous model was nicer. Seems to me their suddenly heading in the wrong direction. The front end design doesn't flow nicely like the previous model. I know it's all subjective, but to me the new grill and headlight design looks awkward and less classy.

[@truephoenix2880]

[@KM-px8cs]

Dear Acura, You did great redesigning your vehicles besides going from the big silver bars on the grill to a giant "A". The Acura A is a really nice emblem design, but sales will probably increase if it wasn't so big and thus unsightly now.

[@golfbuddy1969]

Columbus Ohio is one of the most underrated cities! Looks better than before, but I would take an Accord over this, and wouldn’t have to think twice.

[@Rolo4733]

My biggest complaint with this car is the fact that Acura is still building the ILX on the 9th generation Honda Civic platform. From what I have been told and have heard in general the car is great though feels outdated and old. The entirety of the car desperately needs a mechanical redesign rather than just a refresh of just the looks and hopefully Acura will deliver. At least they cut the price on the new ILX by $2k I guess. Kind of miss the old front end design that they had going for them... 3rd gen Acura TL driver here... Other than that its a great car with a great interior I just don't know how Acura could sell a new car on such an old platform for that kind of money with the old infotainment. Great review nonetheless!

[@atmartens]

Rolo473 I agree but they’re focused on redesigning the TLX and MDX. I’m excited because 2020 should be the return of the Type S!

[@Jacobk66]

I love this engine.... in the 2004 TSX

[@martin-gt7id]

I would say calling this the same KA24 as in the TSX would be remiss. It's the same engine as a previous gen Civic Si, because that's what this actually is.

[@splewy]

Martin Rivard Yes this engine is the K24Z7 from the 9th gen Civic Si. But that engine is functionally identical to the K24Z3 that came in the 2nd gen TSX, which itself was only slightly altered from the K24A2 that came in the 1st gen TSX (the only major difference being slightly higher compression).

[@hondaftw1234]

splewy This is the K24V7 which is the same engine in the 2013-2017 Accord. It has direct injection.

[@cmbm3441]

I used to have a 2004 TSX, there are about 20 different types of 2.4 k24 engine. This one is from a 9th gen Civic Si, and it more torquey on the midrange, whereas in the TSX, the Vtec (variable cam timing, not being a delusional honda boy) kicks in yo at around 4,000 rpm if I remember. God I miss that car though, but not the automatic that i had

[@ATLEAGLE579]

Actually y'all its a very slightly detuned K24 from the Acura TLX which itself came from the 9th gen Accord not the 9th gen SI. Only the 2013-2015 ILXs used the SI motor in the manual configuration.

[@phongtranzzz]

Gotta pump it up to 240HP for sales to happen

[@m.i.smooth810]

Exactly they could by making the k24 more like the k20. There's only 1800 rpms of vtec im sure with hondata that could be better

[@jonathanb3255]

I drive a civic hatch turbo, and I gotta say I love the motor in that car. The torque is amazing. If this ilx had the civic turbo motor (they can tune it to put out more power for the ilx) and this dual clutch, that would be awesome. I know ppl are gonna say they love having a manual, but I'd rather not sit in city traffic driving a manual. More than anything else though, I want them to redesign this ilx using the new civic platform. It's still on the same civic platform since 2012... crazy

[@lowk3ychris484]

If it had a manual like the old ILX it would basically be a high quality last gen Civic Si with that high revving K24

Isn't this one of (if not) the only car you can buy with the K24 nowadays? Really wish they offered a manual with this thing, I think it looks pretty good and I would absolutely love a new car with a K24, they are great engines.

Still on the old 9th generation civic platform. And the fact they did the refresh for 2019, means that the 10th generation platform won't be used until 2021 at the earliest. And the K24 will still be used until 2021.

Nice try Dwayne. I’ll allow it though 😜

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Even though this is pretty much based off the 9th generation Honda Civic, it still is a nice entry-level premium car to drive~ That 8-speed dual clutch is a great transmission tho~ And while that infotainment system was basically what the 8th gen Accord had 10 years ago, I still think it's solid, it's easy to use, and not too complicated.

Looks good for the new image changes, but feels too small for "entry level lux". Good job guys....remember to visit Cedar Point if you can

[@robokicks]

Please do the new 19 elantra sport when it comes out. Really want to know what you think about the refresh.

[@jrloPanigale]

Nice review guys, but about the dual screen infotainment... the lower screen is a touchscreen. I think you mentioned that it's NOT touchscreen, so just a small correction there.

[@calebdavies526]

tuners are gonna have fun with these in 10 years

[@DeeJayAdverb]

So weird that they are using an old motor and they haven't updated this to the turbo motor yet. Still using the k24. Great review guys!!
