Confirmed: Acura ILX Is Dead After 2022 In Favor Of New Integra
The ILX lasted nearly a decade in the Acura lineup.
The Acura ILX is leaving the automaker's lineup, the company confirms to Motor1.com. "The 2022 model year is the final model year for the ILX, in anticipation of the new Integra," spokesperson Chris Naughton told Motor1.com.
"The new Integra was developed from day 1 to deliver on the original lineage that began with Integra back in 1986. It is a continuation of that formula that brought so many first-time buyers into the Acura family and will be the new entry point to the brand," Naughton told Motor1.com.

The rumor about the ILX's demise came from a YouTube video where two Acura dealer employees discussed the model's future in relation to the upcoming Integra.
"The Integra is replacing the ILX. That has been the clear message from them without saying the ILX is going away," one of the hosts said. Tire Meets Road wrote about the clip. The video below starts during this portion of the conversation.
