For its top level performance in IIHS driver and passenger-side small overlap frontal, moderate overlap frontal, side impact, roof strength and head restraint tests, its standard vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention system, its standard vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention system, and its available headlight's “Good” rating, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grants the Civic the rating of “Top Pick” for 2020, a rating granted to only 30 vehicles tested by the IIHS. The ILX last would have qualified as a “Top Pick” in 2017.

On the EPA test cycle the Civic Sedan gets better fuel mileage than the ILX:

				MPG
Civic Sedan
	Manual		2.0 DOHC 4-cyl.	25 city/36 hwy
	Auto		2.0 DOHC 4-cyl.	30 city/38 hwy
			Sport 2.0 DOHC 4-cyl.	29 city/37 hwy
			1.5 turbo 4-cyl.	32 city/42 hwy
			Touring 1.5 turbo 4-cyl.	30 city/38 hwy
ILX
	Auto		2.4 DOHC 4-cyl.	24 city/34 hwy

The Civic has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it's removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The ILX doesn't offer a cap-less fueling system.

The Civic offers an optional continuously variable transmission (CVT). With no “steps” between gears, it can keep the engine at the most efficient speed for fuel economy, or keep it at its peak horsepower indefinitely for maximum acceleration. The ILX doesn't offer a CVT.

For better traction, the Civic Sport/Touring's tires are larger than the largest tires available on the ILX (235/40R18 vs. 225/40R18).

The Civic has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn't available on the ILX; it requires you to depend on roadside assistance and your vehicle will have to be towed.

The Civic's drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The ILX doesn't offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Civic's wheelbase is 1.2 inches longer than on the ILX (106.3 inches vs. 105.1 inches).

For better handling and stability, the average track (width between the wheels) on the Civic is 1.3 inches wider in the front and 1.1 inches wider in the rear than the track on the ILX.

The Civic Sport Hatchback handles at .93 G's, while the ILX A-SPEC pulls only .83 G's of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

For better maneuverability, the Civic LX/EX's turning circle is 1.4 feet tighter than the ILX's (35.4 feet vs. 36.8 feet).

The Honda Civic may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 150 to 350 pounds less than the Acura ILX.

The Civic Sedan is 4.3 inches shorter than the ILX, making the Civic easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

To almost totally eliminate engine vibration in the passenger area, the Civic has a liquid-filled front engine mount. The liquid helps further dampen engine harshness. The ILX uses conventional solid rubber engine mounts.

Because it has more passenger and cargo room, the EPA rates the Civic Sedan a Mid-size car, while the ILX is rated a Compact.

The Civic Sedan has 8.5 cubic feet more passenger volume than the ILX (97.8 vs. 89.3).

The Civic Sedan has 1.3 inches more front headroom, 3.4 inches more front hip room, 1.4 inches more front shoulder room, 1.2 inches more rear headroom, 3.4 inches more rear legroom and 1.4 inches more rear shoulder room than the ILX.

The Civic Sedan has a much larger trunk than the ILX (15.1 vs. 12.4 cubic feet).

A low lift-over trunk design makes loading and unloading the Civic Sedan easier. The Civic Sedan's trunk lift-over height is 26.8 inches, while the ILX's liftover is 28.7 inches. The Civic Hatchback's liftover is only 22 inches.

The Civic Coupe/Hatchback/EX/EX-L/Touring's standard folding rear seats are split to accommodate bulky cargo. The ILX's standard single piece folding rear seat is not as flexible; long cargo and a passenger can't share the rear seat.

The Civic's power parking brake sets with one touch and releases with one touch or automatically. The ILX has a lever-type parking brake that has to be strenuously raised to engage properly. It has to be lifted up more and a button depressed to release it.

The Civic Touring's standard wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield. The ILX's intermittent wipers change speed with vehicle speed, but can't turn on and off or change speed based on changing rainfall.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts detailed tests on headlights for their range both straight ahead and in curves and to be certain they don't exceed acceptable amounts of glare to oncoming drivers. The Civic's available headlights were rated “Good” by the IIHS, while the ILX's headlights are rated “Poor.”

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Civic detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The ILX doesn't offer automatic dimming high beams.

Both the Civic and the ILX offer available heated front seats. The Civic Touring Sedan/Sport Touring also has standard heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren't available in the ILX.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Honda Civic offers an optional wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. The ILX doesn't offer wireless personal charging.

The Civic will cost the buyer less in the long run because of its superior resale value. The IntelliChoice estimates that the Civic will retain 46.26% to 48.42% of its original price after five years, while the ILX only retains 36.22% to 38.53%.

According to The Car Book by Jack Gillis, the Civic is less expensive to operate than the ILX because it costs $155 less to do the manufacturer's suggested maintenance for 50,000 miles. Typical repairs cost much less on the Civic than the ILX, including $56 less for a water pump, $38 less for a muffler, $20 less for front brake pads, $310 less for fuel injection, $11 less for a fuel pump, $149 less for front struts and $238 less for a power steering pump.

IntelliChoice estimates that five-year ownership costs (depreciation, financing, insurance, fuel, fees, repairs and maintenance) for the Honda Civic will be $4181 to $8018 less than for the Acura ILX.
