2013 Acura ILX Tech

Acura's ILX is the Honda division's new entry-level model, the smallest sedan in Acura's lineup since the Integra. It's aimed at "youth with maturity," Honda says. The Tech we tested is one step up from the bottom of the ILX lineup at $32,295, including the $895 destination charge. The top-of-the-line ILX Hybrid, Acura's first Hybrid, starts at $29,795; with the Technology package, it starts at $35,295, including $895 destination. Spun off the Honda Civic, the ILX uses the Civic platform and wheelbase, but has a wider track and body—and more traditional instrumentation, without the Civic plastics in the cabin.
