Used 2020 Acura ILX Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The Acura ILX starts with a reasonably well-equipped base trim level and offers three major upgrade packages. All trim levels use a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine (201 horsepower, 180 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The ILX is front-wheel-drive only.

Key to the ILX's appeal is its generous list of standard features, which include premium touches such as LED headlights, a sunroof, simulated leather upholstery and heated front seats. The base model's tech entertainment is fairly basic, with Bluetooth streaming audio and a six-speaker sound system.

The AcuraWatch suite of safety features and driver aids comes standard. It includes forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise control.

Choosing the Premium package brings additional driver aids, leather upholstery, a better stereo system and, critically, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. If you want navigation, you'll need the Technology package, which has the Premium's features plus a 10-speaker sound system and Acura's connected services. Finally, there's the A-Spec. It's primarily an appearance package — with unique exterior and interior trim plus 18-inch wheels — that can be paired to either the Premium or Technology package.

Which ILX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The ILX with the Premium package combines a low price with all the features you'll need. You won't get the navigation system included with the more expensive Technology package, but Apple and Android smartphone integration lets you use your favorite nav app anyway.
