2014 Acura ILX priced at $27,795

The 2014 Acura ILX sedan will cost $27,795 when it goes on sale on Tuesday, including an $895 destination charge. The premium package adds $3,200 while the technology package adds $4,700. A six-speed manual can also be specified. These prices represent an increase of $1,000 over the 2013 model.

Two engines are offered, a 2.0-liter, 150-hp four, as well as a 201-hp 2.4-liter four. Combined fuel mileage is 25 mpg in the 2.4-liter, 28 mpg for the smaller mill.

The Honda Civic-based ILX comes standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, new leatherette door liners and leather seating surfaces, eight-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats and a multi-angle rearview camera. It also gets an upgraded stereo system with active noise cancellation.

Keyless access, push button start, and Pandora radio are also offered in addition to the tech and premium packages.

The chassis of the ILX uses a fully-independent MacPherson strut setup in front with a multilink rear and Acura’s Amplitude Reactive Dampers, which -- according to Acura -- offer more comfort and better handling. An electric power steering system is standard.

Acura builds the ILX at its Greensburg, Ind. plant.
