2017 Acura ILX vs 2017 Audi A3 near Mequon, WI

It’s a competitive world out there for luxury compact sedans, but we at Acura of Brookfield are confident that ours has unique qualities that make it stand out. That’s why we’ve put together this comparison between the 2017 Acura ILX vs 2017 Audi A3 near Mequon, WI. We’ll take a look at the engine, cabin features, and cargo space to determine which of these sedans deserves the gold! If you have any questions while reading through this article, feel free to give us a call at 888-286-0521 to speak with one of our knowledgeable sales staff members!

Under the hood of the ILX, the 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC® 4-cylinder engine takes full advantage of Direct-Injection and an 8-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission to generate a stalwart 201 horsepower for your driving pleasure. You’ll enjoy the Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters for that engaging ride you crave, too! The A3’s TFSI® powerhouse falls short of that number, only providing 186 horsepower on its standard powertrain. You’ll find that, when it comes to amenities, the ILX one-up’s the A3 frequently. The ILX boasts a Multi-View Rear Camera1, while the A3 only provides a rearview camera with a single vantage point, which simply may not cut it when backing out of the busy parking lot at Piggly Wiggly. Continuing on with standard features in our comparison between the 2017 Acura ILX vs 2017 Audi A3 near Mequon, WI, let’s address communication and entertainment. The ILX comes standard with Siri® Eyes Free2 because smart phones have become an undeniably integrated part of all of our lives. The A3 doesn’t provide any sort of seamless integration with cell phone devices on its base trim.

Don’t misunderstand us, these vehicles are intensely competitive. You’ll find standard 8-way power adjustable seating on both, heated mirrors, and each boast a sunroof, as well, but perfect is proven in the minute details. Like how the ILX comes standard with keyless ignition and entry, while the A3 requires you to buy the next trim up to enjoy that feature. Finally, if you’re looking for a decent amount of cargo space, you simply won’t find it on the Audi A3. Its diminutive 10 cubic ft. of trunk space3 is measly for the segment, and in comparison to the ILX, which clocks in at a much more usable 12.3 cubic ft. of cargo room4.

We at Acura of Brookfield are excited to place the gold medal on the hood of the ILX. This comparison between the 2017 Acura ILX vs 2017 Audi A3 near Mequon, WI, has come to close, but we know where you can find out more! Come to 19180 W. Bluemound Road in Brookfield, WI, and experience this compact sedan for yourself.

Testimonials

I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Kimberly Tuchman

Brian Hoppe was our salesperson and he was great. He made the purchase smooth from testing the car to purchasing it. Communicating prior to test drive was easy. I sent a message and they reached out and were able to set up an appointment on the same day. No spam calls, just text for communication as we preferred. Upon arrival, Brian was very thoughtful and had warmed up the car for us to test drive. We were able to immediately hop in and test drive without having to worry about warming up the engine or having a hovering salesperson in the backseat. He was not pushy at all, and he didn't have to be. The cars here speak for themselves. You could tell the car was well taken care of and maintained to Acura of Brookfield's high standards. We were able to test drive for a while before confirming the purchase. Although it was past working hours, Brian stayed late to set us up for financing. He took care of us and made sure we had drinks and snacks. The price was reasonable and on top of that Brian set us up with even better financing rates than we had initially hoped for. It was a easy yes. We were able to wrap up signing papers and pick it up the next day which took not even an hour. The car was newly washed, tank full, car warmed up, and parked in front for our convenience. It also had Acura merch plus a little gift. Fun! It made the experience great and throughly seamless. Note, we had been searching for a car for over two months dealing with shady dealerships and salespersons who were pushy and deceptive. This dealership and it's employees were nothing like that. They are honest and fair and hold themselves to high standards when it comes to the quality of their cars. I highly recommend this dealership and Brian Hoppe.

Just purchased a pre-owned Honda Accord from Brian Hoppe at Acura of Brookfield. From the moment I walked through the showroom doors he was very professional and easy to deal with. He answered EVERY question I had. He knew a lot about the vehicle that I was interested in and truly made me feel like a valued customer. No hidden fees or high pressure sales. The whole process was very refreshing! I will be buying more cars from Brian in the future. Highly Recommend!!!!

Just bought my second Certified Used car from Acura of Brookfield, 8 years after my first one. I worked with Malcolm and he was great - personable, honest, and he knew the vehicles well. I had planned on a 4-5 year cycle but couldn't let go of my TL and now stepped into a MDX. Both times I was treated with attention and respect - it was a great buying experience and pricing was competitive. I really appreciate how they run this dealership and will recommend them to anyone.
