Other Cars to Consider
As a hybrid, the Lexus CT 200h doesn’t impress reviewers with its performance, but it does have the highest fuel economy ratings in the class. Since it’s a hatchback, the CT 200h offers a lot more cargo room than the ILX Hybrid does, making the CT 200h more practical.
The Buick Verano isn’t available as a hybrid and critics think the base model is underpowered, but it does have good gas mileage for a small luxury sedan. Reviewers think the Verano really shines when it comes to interior quality and comfort. They like its quality materials, high-tech features, comfortable seats and hushed cabin, which make the Verano one of the most refined models in the class.
Reviews 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid
The 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid has a lot of standard features and gets good gas mileage for the class, but reviewers are disappointed with its meager power and cargo space.
Combined, the 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid’s four-cylinder engine and electric motor make 111 horsepower. Reviewers think the ILX Hybrid lacks power for highway driving and passing maneuvers. Critics do mention, however, that the ILX Hybrid performs well in the city. Each ILX Hybrid has a continuously variable transmission that critics don't say much about, though one calls it "clumsy." The ILX Hybrid gets EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 39/38 mpg city/highway. For a luxury car, test drivers find that the ILX Hybrid’s overall performance is rather unrefined. In particular, they criticize the electric power steering, which lacks feel, and think the idle-stop system, which shuts down the engine at stoplights to conserve fuel, is rough.
According to reviewers, the 2013 ILX Hybrid’s cabin is well-made, and it also comes with a lot of standard features for the class. Amenities like a USB port, Bluetooth, a rearview camera and voice text messaging are standard. A navigation system and stereo are available with a package upgrade. Test drivers mention that the interior is cluttered with a lot of buttons, but find that overall, the features are relatively easy to reach and read. Though it’s well-equipped, the ILX Hybrid’s interior isn’t the most spacious in the class. There are seatbelts for five, but some critics think the front seats lack headroom for tall adults. They also say that while the rear seats will be tight for three adults, two can sit and be reasonably comfortable. The ILX’s trunk space is also respectable for a hybrid, but other models, like the 2013 Lexus CT 200h hatchback, have significantly more cargo room.
