2018 Acura ILX vs. 2018 INFINITI Q70

ILX MPG vs. Q70 Fuel Economy

The Acura ILX delivers a spirited drive courtesy of a 201 hp, 180 lb-ft of torque engine, and it does so while delivering up to an astonishing 25 mpg city and 35 mpg highway* as standard. In contrast, the INFINITI makes just 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway as standard.

You could be cruising between Milford and West Haven in your INFINITI and be making the same mileage as an Acura ILX stuck in Stafford traffic. That’s largely down to the 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), which always holds the next gear up or down ready to go for seamless performance. The INFINITI’s 7-speed automatic feels antiquated in contrast.

The INFINITI Q70 is visibly longer and wider than the new Acura ILX, so expect parking and low-speed maneuvering to be trickier. You might expect more space to stretch out and relax as a payoff, but no such luck – front leg room feels cramped in the INFINITI after experiencing the Acura ILX interior.

Compare Luxury Cars: Technology

Both vehicles offer a wide range of features, but only the Acura can provide:

Whether keeping you cool as temperatures change throughout the day or making reversing a breeze even in cramped or crowded areas, it’s great having Acura technology on your side.
