Direct-Injected 2.4-liter In-line 4-cylinder Engine

| 2016 Acura ILX |
The ILX's new Direct Injection (DI) 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine brings a host of intelligent technology to its segment. The engine's i-VTEC system combines VTC (Variable Timing Control), which continuously adjusts the intake camshaft phase, with Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC), which changes valve lift, timing and duration of the intake valves. Increased engine displacement, a new Direct Injection (DI) system, dual-stage intake manifold and other technologies combine to produce up to 40 lb.-ft. more torque with greater power available over the entire operating range, especially in the crucial mid-rpm area.

Fuel economy ratings are exceptional, due in part to efficient Direct Injection, a new combustion-chamber design, offset cylinder bores and a range of friction-reducing technologies.

The ILX has an EPA fuel-economy rating of 25/36/29 mpg city/hwy/combined. That's a significant increase over both the outgoing 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engines, which were rated at 24/35/281 and 22/31/25, respectively. The new 4-cylinder engine also meets LEV III/ULEV125 emissions standards in select states, and Federal Tier 2, Bin 5 standards.
