If you’re searching for your next vehicle, the Acura ILX and Honda Accord are worthy options for drivers in Maple Shade, Moorestown, and Cherry Hill, NJ. The staff at Elite Acura has created this 2022 Acura ILX vs. Honda Accord comparison so that you can read up on these two sleek sedans and learn more about them.
From outstanding performance and comfort inside the cabin to a long list of standard and available features, these two cars bring plenty to the table. Read below to learn more.
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 the ILX brings.
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 and 32 highway MPG with the 2.0L turbocharged engine.
The 2022 ILX gets the same fuel economy regardless of which package you choose. It delivers an EPA-estimated 24 city and 34 highway MPG.1
Spend time inside a vehicle you love. When you’re on the road, the environment you drive in should be comfortable and with intuitive features abound. A multi-view rear camera comes standard in both cars, so it’s easy to see what’s going on when backing the car up in the driveway or exiting a crowded parking lot.
Heated front seats come standard in the 2022 ILX, which feel great when you’re trying to warm up on a windy and cold winter’s morning or chilly fall evening. The Accord offers heated seats, but they’re not a standard feature.
A power moonroof is another standard item in the ILX, so you can open things up and get some fresh air when the weather outside allows for it. The Accord, while offering a moonroof, does not make it a standard feature.
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 large role in case of an accident.
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.
The Sequential SportShift paddle shifters that come standard in the ILX are a convenient feature to enjoy, 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.
When stacking up everything the 2022 Acura ILX and 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 Maple Shade, Moorestown, and Cherry Hill, New Jersey, happy.
