Acura ILX: Superior by Design
The Mercedes Benz CLA 250 and Acura ILX both offer bold style and performance. But the reimagined 2020 ILX is clearly superior. While its 2.4-liter DOHC engine provides slightly less horsepower than CLA 250, ILX is almost 200 pounds lighter than the Mercedes. 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 CLA 250 sits content with a 7-speed DCT, requiring a turbocharger to generate power.
ILX with Premium Package also includes a long list of standard features you’ll pay extra for on CLA 250 including a power moonroof, multi-view rear camera, and Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto integration. Driver and passengers also enjoy more legroom 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.
