Exterior
The 2014 Acura ILX’s exterior has been described as “subtly elegant.” There has often been negative feedback towards Acura’s shield-style grille, but this feature fits better with the ILX body type. The 2014 ILX also employs a more contemporary body style, eschewing the somewhat offputting futuristic luxury car concept.
