The facelifted version of the ILX brought a sportier vibe with its new grille, taillights and a lower diffuser with an exposed exhaust. The wheels design was also upgraded, sporting 17-inch alloys or the 18-inch wheels available with the A-spec trim level.

Acura improved the ILX in 2014 for the 2016 model-year and brought more power, better handling, and three trim levels to the market. Yet, it didn't make the fuss it intended.

With the entry level compact luxury sport sedan growing, the Acura ILX was a 4-door sedan related to the Honda Civic, and offered a generous number of features.
