Does the Acura Ilx have cooled seats?
No — the ILX does not offer cooled (ventilated) seats.
The ILX is Acura's entry-level luxury sedan, sold primarily from the early 2010s through the late 2010s. Across its generations, heated front seats were available on several trims, but there was never a factory option for ventilated seats. The ILX nameplate has largely been retired in the U.S., with Acura directing buyers toward other models for modern seating comfort features.
Seat comfort in the ILX: heating versus cooling
Here is what buyers could generally expect from ILX seating across its run, with an emphasis on cooling capabilities.
- Ventilated (cooled) seats: Not available on any ILX model year.
- Front heated seats: Available on multiple trims and years in the ILX lineup.
- Rear-seat cooling: Not offered on the ILX.
In short, the ILX offered heating in some configurations, but never the cooling function.
Where to find cooled seats in Acura's current lineup
For shoppers who specifically want ventilated front seats, Acura offers them on several other models in higher trims. These are the models most commonly equipped with cooling seats in recent years:
- TLX: Ventilated front seats available on higher trims (such as Luxury/Advance variants) in recent generations.
- MDX: Ventilated front seats available on select trims.
- RDX: Ventilated front seats available on higher trims.
Note that seat cooling is not universal across all trims and may depend on the model year and market.
Summary
No — the Acura ILX does not offer cooled seats. It provides heated front seats on many trims, but ventilation (cooled seats) has not been part of the ILX option sheet. If ventilated seating is a priority, consider other Acura models like the TLX, MDX, or RDX, or check the Integra lineup for current options in a different segment. The ILX nameplate has largely been retired in favor of newer models.
