The new ILX is a small front-wheel-drive sedan based on the Honda Civic. The base engine on the ILX is a 2.0l four-cylinder rated at 150-bhp. An optional 2.4l four-cylinder engine produces 201 horsepower and is only offered with a six-speed manual. The ILX lineup will also include a hybrid model which pairs a 1.5l four-cylinder engine with a small electric motor to boost power and regenerate power on braking.
The second generation RDX bows for 2013. The new model is slightly longer, but otherwise the same size as the outgoing model. A 3.5L V6 becomes the standard engine replacing the turbocharged four cylinder in the prior model.
