Drivetrain layout and engine options
Engine options
The ILX lineup for 2014 used a front-wheel-drive platform with two engine choices. The base engine was a 2.0-liter i-VTEC inline-4, while a larger 2.4-liter engine was available on higher trims, both configured for front-wheel-drive operation.
Transmission options
Transmission availability varied by engine: typical configurations included a conventional automatic on the 2.0L model and a more performance-oriented dual-clutch setup on the 2.4L variant, while staying front-wheel drive across the lineup.
All-wheel drive availability
There was no all-wheel-drive option for the 2014 ILX. Acura did not offer AWD on the ILX in that model year, making front-wheel drive the sole layout for the model.
Summary
The 2014 Acura ILX is front-wheel drive, with no AWD option offered that year. Engine choices varied by trim, but the drive layout remained front-wheel drive, aligning with the ILX’s role as a compact-luxury sedan built on Honda’s Civic-based platform.
