Compare the 2021 Acura ILX and 2021 Lexus IS 300

Performance

Both of these cars come standard with a lively four-cylinder engine. Although the Lexus IS 300 may produce more horsepower, the ILX has a better power-to-weight ratio. This means the lighter ILX accelerates just as quickly as the IS 300. A significantly higher fuel economy rating gives the ILX yet another key advantage. While the Acura ILX is rated to return an impressive 24 mpg city/34 mpg highway, the Lexus IS 300 delivers an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city/31 mpg highway.

Appearance

Most people agree that the 2021 Lexus IS is an attractive car. However, it still doesn't look quite as stylish as the 2021 Acura ILX. Jewel Eye LED headlights, and a signature Diamond Pentagon grille help the ILX to stand out. Drivers who desire an especially sleek look will want the ILX's optional A-Spec package. It decks out the sedan with an exclusive set of 18-inch Shark Grey wheels, dark chrome accents, and a sporty body kit.

Features

The 2021 Acura ILX gives you more standard features for the money. Unlike the 2021 Lexus IS 300, it comes standard with a power sunroof. You'll also appreciate the ILX's multi-view backup camera, which is a step above the IS 300's single-view rear camera. Designed to help prevent drivers from unintentionally drifting off the paved road surface, Acura's standard Road Departure Mitigation System isn't even available on the ILX.
