2014 Acura ILX

The 2014 Acura ILX Dynamic is the enthusiast-focused, performance-oriented trim package . It strips out the smaller 2.0L engine and automatic transmission in favor of a sportier, high-revving powertrain and an upgraded cabin.

🏎️ Performance & Drivetrain

The core definition of the Dynamic trim lies under the hood, sharing its DNA with the legendary Civic Si of its era:

• Engine: 2.4-liter, DOHC, i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine.   

• Power Output: 201 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm and 170 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4,400 rpm.   

• Transmission: Close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with a sport clutch (no automatic transmission option was offered for this specific trim).

• Chassis Tuning: Features Amplitude Reactive Dampers and motion-adaptive electric power steering for tighter handling and less body roll than the base model.

🛋️ Interior & Styling Upgrades

Building on top of the Premium and Technology packages, the Dynamic trim features unique, driver-focused accents:

• Aesthetic Details: Metal racing pedals, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, and a leather shift knob.   

• Enthusiast Cabin: Contrast interior stitching and gauge backlights that glow red to emphasize its sporty nature.

• Seating: Leather-trimmed sport seats with 8-way power adjustments for the driver and 2-way heated front seats.   

🎛️ Technology & Convenience

Because the Dynamic trim acts as a top-tier package, it inherits premium tech features:

• Audio: Premium 7-speaker sound system including a subwoofer (360-watt system).   

• Displays: 5-inch color Multi-Information Display (MID) paired with a multi-angle rearview camera.   

• Convenience: Smart Entry with Pushbutton Ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a one-touch power moonroof.

🛡️ Safety Features

• Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure.   

• Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) with Traction Control.   

• Hill Start Assist (crucial for managing the 6-speed manual on inclines).
