ILX
The Acura ILX is a compact luxury sedan first introduced in 2013 as a way of attracting new buyers to the Acura brand. It filled a slot that had been empty since Acura discontinued production of the Integra model in 2001. Engine options for the 2013 models included a 2.0L 201 hp model along with a 2.4L four-cylinder version with 201 hp. There are also hybrid versions available with a 1.5L engine as well as a 17.2-kilowatt DC electric motor.
MDX
Acura introduced its first premium crossover back in 2001 with the intent on providing buyers with a combination of Honda’s high-level engineering along with the luxury expected from the Acura brand. The vehicle comfortably seats up to seven passengers for either long commutes to work or vacation trips anywhere around the country.
The 2014 model saw Acura introduce front-wheel drive to this vehicle along with an upgraded direct-injected V6 engine. You can also look for 2017 models which feature Acura’s redesign of the entire front grille. This was also the year that a sports hybrid version of the MDX was made available.
RDX
Designed to complement the MDX, the RDX is a smaller crossover vehicle that still provides you with a lot of great features and potential upgrades. Acura upgraded the engine from a 2.3L version to a 3.5L V6 version in 2013. It seats up to five passengers and comes with all-wheel drive, a multi-view rear camera, and a power moonroof. All models from 2014 and beyond offer an optional technology package that provides features like a Rear Cross Traffic Monitor, an Acura Navigation System with a 3D View and a premium audio system that provides enjoyable listening on long trips.
RLX
Acura introduced this luxury large-model sedan in 2014. The RLX comes with a 3.5L V6 engine, made especially for those of you looking for that ultimate combination of elegance and power. There are also hybrid versions available with a combination 47 hp electric motor. Everyone can ride in comfort thanks to the Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control System that comes with an Air Quality Sensor that alerts you when there's an issue with the air you are breathing.
TLX
The Acura TLX was introduced in 2015 and is a mid-sized luxury sedan that comes with either a 206 hp four-cylinder or 290 hp six-cylinder engine.

Some cars also contain a Road Departure Mitigation System option that warns you when you are about to go over lane markings on a road or highway.
TSX
The TSX sports sedan was first introduced in 2004 and produced until 2015 when the TLX replaced it. You can find versions with either a 2.4L four-cylinder engine or a 3.5L V6 engine.
