The 2016 Acura ILX is an entry-level luxury sedan with an innovative transmission, great fuel economy, and a solid audio system. Under the hood is a 2.4L inline four cylinder engine with i-VTEC producing 201 horsepower at 6800 RPM and 180 lb-ft of torque at 3800 RPM. One of the ways they were able to increase low end torque was by using a dual-stage intake manifold. There’s a set of four butterfly valves which are used to actuate the process. At low RPM, the air travels through a long set of runners, improving low end torque. At higher RPM, the system switches over to a short set of intake runners for increased high end power. This works in combination with the VTEC system, where at engine speeds above 4900 RPM the intake system shifts to a high lift, long-duration cam profile for more top end power. Engine torque is sent through an 8-speed dual clutch transmission to the front wheels.
Plenty of convenience and luxury features as well:
- Navigation
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Collision Mitigation Braking System

- Lane Keep Assist
- 10 Speaker ELS Sound System

MSRP As Tested: $35,810
