Gateway to the brand — 2020 Acura ILX arrives in dealerships

(October 14, 2019) The 2020 ILX has arrived in Acura showrooms looking to continue its success as the retail best-selling model in segment. ILX is a critical gateway to the Acura brand, capturing the most first-time, millennial and multicultural buyers of any model in the Acura lineup. Receiving major upgrades for the 2019 model year, ILX became the fastest growing model in its segment and earned its best sales month in more than three years this August.

The 2020 Acura ILX will be offered at a starting price of $26,895 including the $995 destination and handling charge, unchanged from the 2019 model year.

Just a year ago, Acura completed a design transformation of its lineup — introducing a significantly updated ILX with sportier styling, standard AcuraWatch technology as well as updated cabin tech, including available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. In the first eight months of 2019, ILX has picked up more than nine points of retail segment share and captures the largest percentage of sales from under-35 buyers of any model in the premium compact sedan segment.

Additionally, for the past two years, ILX has earned the top spot in Kelly Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own rankings among entry-luxury cars, indicative of the Acura brand’s strong reputation for high quality and strong value retention.

The 2020 Acura ILX is available with three distinct packages: Premium, Technology and the popular A-Spec sport appearance package — each powered by a 201-horsepower, 2.4-liter, DOHC i-VTEC engine and quick-shifting 8-speed Dual Clutch Transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Every 2020 ILX receives an EPA fuel economy rating of 24/34/28 mpg.
 
Additionally, all 2020 ILX models come equipped with the AcuraWatch suite of active safety and driver-assistive technologies, which includes Collision Mitigation Braking System with Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning.
