Acura ILX: Superior by Design
The Lexus IS 300 and Acura ILX both offer bold style and performance. But the 2022 ILX is clearly superior. While its 2.4-liter DOHC engine provides less overall horsepower than the IS, the Acura ILX is hundreds of pounds lighter than the Lexus. This impressive power-to-weight ratio makes ILX one of the most powerful and nimble cars in its class and yields higher EPA MPG ratings than IS 300. The ILX also comes standard with an 8-speed dual clutch automatic transmission with torque converter. The Lexus 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 the Lexus IS including leather-appointed heated front seats, a multi-view rear camera and a power moonroof. An available new A-Spec package 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.
