Acura ILX Performance Overview
Acura’s ILX served as the brand’s compact entry sedan for 2013 to 2016, covered here through 10 verified tests spanning its full production run. From launch, its performance split clearly by powertrain: the 2013 2.4L Premium Package set the model’s quickest benchmark at 6.4 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2013 2.0L Premium reached 60 in 7.1 seconds and the 2013 1.5L Hybrid Technology Package trailed at 10.8 seconds. Engine choices ranged from the 111-hp LEA1 hybrid system and the 150-hp R20A1 2.0-liter to 201-hp K24-series 2.4-liter gasoline fours, all naturally aspirated aside from the hybrid assist system.
Across its single 2013-2016 generation, the ILX remained a gasoline-and-hybrid lineup rather than expanding into newer electrified formats. The 2.4-liter cars defined the model’s performance ceiling throughout the run, including a 2016 2.4L Technology Plus & A-SPEC Package at 6.5 seconds to 60 mph and a class-leading-for-the-line 14.7-second quarter-mile at 93 mph. By the end of production, the ILX stood as a compact sedan with a broad performance spread, from efficiency-oriented hybrid trims to consistently quicker 2.4-liter variants, averaging 7.53 seconds to 60 mph and 15.76 seconds in the quarter-mile.

How we verify Acura ILX performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Acura ILX trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
