Acura ILX Concept
The Acura ILX
Concept is the precursor to an all-new Acura luxury compact sedan
scheduled for launch in Spring 2012. To be positioned as the gateway to
the Acura brand, the ILX will feature three different powertrains,
including Acura's first-ever gas-electric hybrid.
"First time
luxury buyers place the highest value on exterior styling, affordability
and environmental issues and that's a virtual definition of what we
have created with the new Acura ILX," said Jon Ikeda, head of the Acura
Design Studio. "The strategy behind this new model is to position ILX as
the first opportunity for many young buyers to enter the luxury
market."
Sleek, sporty and aerodynamically efficient, the exterior
of the all-new ILX combines luxury, performance and efficiency. A
beautifully styled luxury sedan, the Acura ILX Concept has a compact,
yet formal proportion, targeting a very professional image. The ILX
delivers both, with a greenhouse that provides excellent visibility, an
aerodynamic low and wide stance, the ILX is immediately recognizable as
an Acura
The lineup of ILX models will include an entry-level
model powered by a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine; a
high-performance model with a 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine paired
with a six-speed manual transmission; and a 1.5-liter gasoline-electric
hybrid powertrain, Acura's first-ever hybrid offering.
The Acura
ILX will feature a high-quality, well-appointed interior that is smart,
spacious and sporty. It will offer a number of new, high-value features,
including a smart entry keyless access system and pushbutton start,
along with Pandora internet radio interface and SMS text message
function for smart connectivity with the world.
As with all Acura
models, the ILX will have a long list of standard features, different
trim levels (that will include a Technology Package), multiple
transmission choices, and excellent standard safety features — including
Acura's acclaimed Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ body structure,
front, side and side-curtain airbags, 4-channel anti-lock brakes and
Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA™). Acura anticipates that the ILX will
achieve top ratings in both NHTSA and IIHS crash safety testing.
The
new Acura ILX will be manufactured exclusively by Honda Manufacturing
of Indiana, LLC, in its Greensburg, Ind. plant — one of only three
plants in the world to receive J.D. Power and Associates' 2011 Platinum
Award for outstanding quality.
