The Acura ILX’s second facelift combines a compact sedan body with an upscale character. Its everyday appeal depends partly on how the engine and transmission suit your usual driving.
The 2.4 DSG is one example of an Acura ILX engine and drivetrain combination, pairing gasoline power with an automated transmission and front-wheel drive. You have no clutch pedal to operate, while the front wheels handle both steering and propulsion. A test drive can help you judge low-speed smoothness and overtaking response.
