Acura has been well known in the luxury market for years, but the 2013 model year brings a new vehicle aimed toward younger, first time luxury buyers : the 2013 Acura ILX. This sporty sedan will fill the entry-level slot in Acura's brand lineup.
What's even more intriguing are the three engine choices found under the 2013 Acura ILX's hood. With its available gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain, this will be the first hybrid vehicle to wear an Acura badge. While a 2.0 liter V4 will come standard, a high-performance ILX offers an optional 2.4-liter inline four and six speed manual combination.
Many first time luxury buyers are young and therefore place a high value on exterior styling. The 2013 Acura ILX does not disappoint. A kicked up trunk lid, creased door handles, and wrap-around taillights all add a visual punch. It keeps the powerful,slanted grille buyers associate with the Acura brand. Overall, it's interesting, bold, and sure to make a statement on the luxury market.
True to its luxury roots, the standard 2013 Acura ILX's model is equipped with gear many auto makers consider upgrades. Pandora® Internet radio, a push-button start, and the ability to SMS text message without pulling out your phone are just a few of these features in every vehicle.
Even its base model is sleek, sporty, and aerodynamically efficient, but buyers can also choose a Premium Package or a Technology Package for an additional upgrade. The Premium Package includes many sought after first-class amenities including leather surfaces, heated front seats, an upgraded stereo system, rear view camera, and an Active Sound Cancellation for a quieter cabin. The Technology Package gives drivers the most relevant technology systems available, like AcuraLink Satellite Communication System, Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition, real-time traffic updates, and weather with radar image maps.
