PERFORMANCE
Sedans are fun vehicles to drive, especially the Acura ILX and the Honda Accord. Both models are sporty, which will put some pep in your step. Plus, either option is efficient with fuel, which means you can make the most out of every mile.
Amp Up the Power
The Acura ILX performs well on city streets and on the highway thanks to a 2.4L 4-cylinder i-VTEC® engine linked to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that churns out 201 horsepower.
The Accord, on the other hand, offers a base engine that provides 192 horsepower. While it’s a capable engine, it doesn’t match the power of the ILX.
Enjoy Additional Miles
The Accord offers several engines, but an upgrade to the Sport trim means fuel economy will be sacrificed. On this trim, you’ll get just an EPA-estimated 22 city/32 highway MPG with the 2.0L turbocharged engine.
The 2022 ILX gets the same fuel economy regardless of which package you choose: an EPA-estimated 24 city/34 highway MPG.*
INTERIOR
You deserve to spend time inside a vehicle you love. When you’re on the road, the environment you drive in should be comfortable and with plenty of intuitive features.
Clear Visuals
A multi-view rear camera comes standard in both cars, so it’s easy to see what’s going on when backing up the car in your driveway or exiting a crowded parking lot.
Where is this rear camera located in each sedan? In the Honda Accord, it’s on the singular 8-inch touchscreen display. In the Acura TLX, it will be displayed on one of its two LCD screens. Yep, you read that right—this sedan has two center displays for dual productivity and purpose.
Comfort in All Weather Conditions
Heated front seats come standard in the 2022 ILX, which will feel great when you’re trying to warm up on a windy, cold morning or chilly evening. The Accord offers heated seats, but they’re not a standard feature.
A power sunroof is another standard item in the ILX, so you can open up the cabin and get some fresh air when the weather outside allows. The Accord, while offering a moonroof, does not make it a standard feature.
CONVENIENCE
In the ILX and the Accord, you’re in control. Thanks to helpful handling technologies, you can experience the ride type you crave. As you cruise confidently, the well-built frames of either model will ensure the fun never ends.
High-Strength Sedans
An Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a standard feature on every Accord and ILX. This passive safety feature is important, as it can play a protective role in case the unexpected happens.
With this engineering, the car’s body is specifically designed to evenly distribute energy if a frontal collision occurs. The energy is transferred around the vehicle and away from any passengers to help reduce the potential for serious injuries.
Turn on the Jets
The Sequential SportShift paddle shifters that come standard in the ILX are a convenient feature too. They let drivers choose the gear and override the selection the automatic transmission has made if they want more power. The Accord offers paddle shifters, but they don’t come standard.
Decide and Drive
When stacking up everything the 2022 Acura ILX and the Honda Accord have to offer, it’s understandable that you might want to drive home with both cars!
However, thanks to its more luxurious interior, stronger performance, and worthy safety features, the 2022 ILX will make drivers in Wexford, Pittsburgh, and Cranberry Township, PA, happy.
