Acura ILX: Superior by Design
The BMW 230i and Acura ILX both offer bold style and performance. But the reimagined 2019 ILX is clearly superior. While its 2.4-liter DOHC engine provides less overall horsepower than 230i, the Acura ILX is almost 300 pounds lighter than the BMW. This impressive power-to-weight ratio makes ILX one of the most powerful and nimble cars in its class. The ILX also comes standard with an 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission with torque converter. The 230i sits content with a traditional 8-speed, requiring a turbocharger to generate power.
ILX with Premium Package also includes a long list of standard features you’ll pay extra for on 230i including a power moonroof, multi-view rear camera, and Apple CarPlay™ and Android™ Auto integration. Driver and passengers also enjoy more legroom and shoulder room in the Acura ILX. An available new A-Spec package (on vehicle shown) also gives your new ILX an even bolder appearance with stylish touches like 18-inch Shark Grey alloy wheels, LED fog lights and sport seats trimmed in rich red or black leather.
