The refreshed 2016 Acura ILX serves as a gateway car to the near-luxury brand.  Featuring edgy styling, an new, direct-injected 2.4-L four-cylinder engine and eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the new ILX shares its soul and DNA with its big brother the 2015 Acura TLX.

Check out our wet and rainy sneak peek video of the 2016 Acura ILX from northern California, offering as much information as we are able to share prior to the official information release in just a few more days.

Acura has been on a roll of late, having released the much anticipated 2016 Acura NSX hybrid supercar in Detroit, and setting up to release the refreshed 2016 Acura RDX at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show.

If you desire a larger vehicle, the 2015 Acura TLX offers much of the 2016 Acura ILX’s DNA in a more roomy package.  The 2015 Acura MDX remains a popular choice for families as well, continuing to position itself as Acura’s volume leader.
