When Acura introduced the 2013 ILX to North American dealers, it arrived with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder producing 150 horsepower—a deliberate answer to buyers seeking Honda reliability wrapped in a luxury nameplate. The dual-clutch transmission option set it apart from the Civic-based platform underneath, offering a more engaged driving experience than its corporate sibling.
In 2014, Acura's ILX lineup offered a direct-injection 2.0-liter producing 150 horsepower, competing directly against the Civic Si and Mazda3. Two transmission choices—a five-speed automatic or the segment-exclusive eight-speed dual-clutch—gave buyers control over engagement. The saloon arrived with available all-wheel drive, a rarity in this class that year.
When Acura refreshed its compact entry point for 2015, the ILX arrived in Canadian showrooms positioned squarely against the Infiniti Q50 and Lexus IS—vehicles that had begun fragmenting the segment.

The refreshed styling and available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive gave it tangible reasons to exist in a crowded compact lu
By 2017, Acura's compact sedan faced intensifying competition from the Civic Si and Mazda3, both gaining ground in driving engagement. The ILX held firm with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder producing 201 horsepower, paired to an eight-speed transmission that balanced efficiency with responsive handling. North American buyers found it positioned as the accessible entry to Acura owners

By 2019, the ILX occupied an increasingly crowded entry-luxury segment alongside the Infiniti Q30 and Lexus IS. Acura's compact sedan offered three distinct trim levels—Standard, Technology, and A-Spec—each addressing different buyer priorities: the base model emphasized value, while the A-Spec introduced aggressive styling cues and sport-tuned suspension. The 201-horsepower di
The 2020 ILX retained its 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, now paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that had become the sedan's hallmark. In a compact luxury segment increasingly crowded by turbocharged rivals, Acura's naturally aspirated approach offered straightforward power delivery—201 horsepower—without the complexity buyers in North America were beginning to q
The 2021 ILX arrived in three distinct trim levels across North American showrooms: Standard, A-Spec, and Technology. Buyers could choose between front-wheel and all-wheel drive, with the latter gaining traction in colder climates. The continuously variable transmission remained standard, though the refinement of its calibration drew praise from reviewers that model year.
The archive contains 15 documents spanning the ILX model line. This collection includes brochures, dealer catalogs, and factory literature that document the vehicle across multiple model years. The documents provide a comprehensive view of how Acura presented and marketed this compact luxury sedan to consumers and dealers throughout its production run.
Documents in this archive span from 2013 through 2021. This nine-year range captures the ILX's full lifecycle during this period. While coverage is broad, some individual years may have limited documentation. The collection reflects how the model evolved and was marketed across this timeframe to different regional markets.
Yes, the archive includes documents from two distinct markets. This means you'll find market-specific brochures and catalogs that show how Acura tailored the ILX's presentation, features, and specifications for different regions. Comparing these documents reveals important differences in trim levels, equipment, and marketing strategies across markets.
Absolutely. Factory brochures and dealer catalogs are invaluable for restoration work and historical research. They document original specifications, color options, interior trim combinations, and equipment availability for each year. These primary sources help ensure authenticity when restoring an ILX or verifying original factory details and configurations.
The archive page focuses on the documents themselves—their availability, years covered, and regional variants in our collection. The catalog page, by contrast, provides detailed specifications and features of the car itself. Think of the archive as a library of source materials, while the catalog is a reference guide to the vehicle's technical details.
The collection includes original brochures, dealer catalogs, and factory literature from Acura. These documents represent how the brand officially presented the ILX to customers and sales networks. Each document type offers unique insights—brochures highlight features and styling, while dealer materials provide technical specifications and sales information.
The archive is continuously expanded as new documents are acquired and cataloged. When previously undocumented ILX materials surface, they're added to the collection. This means the 15 documents available now represent what's currently in our holdings, but the archive may grow over time as more factory literature becomes available.
