2020 Lexus IS 300 vs 2020 Acura ILX near Washington, DC

2020 Lexus IS 300 vs 2020 Acura ILX near Washington, DCPictured above is the 2020 Lexus IS 300 with optional features. 

If you’re having a difficult time choosing a luxury sedan from the many options at your disposal, then you’ll definitely want to keep reading to learn more about the 2020 Lexus IS 300. After hearing about its dynamic capabilities and well-equipped interior, you’ll be ready to get a hold of the keys! And, for further confidence in your decision, we at Pohanka Lexus are pitting it against the 2020 Acura ILX.

Comfort

From the moment you step inside the opulent cabin of the 2020 IS 300, you’ll understand why people across the nation are singing its praises. Once you settle in behind the wheel, you’ll be able to stretch out in a generous 44.8 inches of front legroom to keep sore muscles at bay. Meanwhile, the 2020 ILX isn’t quite up to par in this regard with just 42.3 inches of legroom in the first row. Moreover, this Acura’s front seats aren’t quite as comfortable or versatile as the Lexus’, as they fail to measure up in several ways. While the IS 300 has standard 10-way power front seats with the option to add both heating and ventilation, the ILX only comes standard with an 8-way power-adjustable chair for the driver. To make matters worse, a ventilation function isn’t offered on any trim level. 

Technology

The 2020 Lexus IS 300 continues to prove its worth over the 2020 Acura ILX when we direct our attention to the various tech features. Staying entertained for hours on end regardless of your destination is a breeze in the former, as it has standard SiriusXM® Satellite Radio1—something you’ll need to spend extra funds on to access in the model from Acura. Speaking of upgrades, the IS 300 lets you spring for a multitude of desirable innovations, including a 15-speaker premium sound system and navigation2 centered on a 10.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen. If you end up choosing the 2020 ILX, you’ll only be able to equip up to ten speakers, while the available navigation setup has a smaller 8-inch display. 

Performance

Finally, it’s time to engage the ignition and see what these models can do on the open road. Traveling along Route 29 in the Lexus IS 300 will be an experience to remember, as its standard 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine pumps out a lively 241-hp3 and 258 lb.-ft. of torque3. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about the Acura ILX, due to its less powerful 2.4L naturally aspirated 4-cylinder system that only manages to produce a tepid 201-hp and 180 lb.-ft. of torque. To make matters worse, this set of wheels only comes with FWD, which could mean a treacherous commute when the weather is less than ideal. Thankfully, the IS 300 is ready to save the day, as it comes available with AWD for your peace of mind. 

By now, we at Pohanka Lexus think it’s clear that the IS 300 is the winner in this comparison of the 2020 Lexus IS 300 vs 2020 Acura ILX near Washington, DC. Come and see it in action today by scheduling a test drive at your earliest convenience!
