2020 Acura ILX vs 2020 Lexus IS 300 in Brookfield, WI
Pictured left is the 2020 Acura ILX with A-Spec and Technology Package in Apex Blue Pearl.

Has your passion for driving waned? Are you seeking a performance sedan that will make you fall in love with the open road all over again? If so, head straight to Acura of Brookfield to get a closer look at the 2020 Acura ILX! Before stopping by, though, check out this model comparison to see what makes this sporty set of wheels stand out from competitors like the 2020 Lexus IS 300.
Which Is Superior - the 2020 ILX or 2020 IS 300?
Safety Tech
Perhaps the most vital aspect of any vehicle is safety, and the 2020 ILX certainly doesn’t hold back in this regard. For instance, all trims except the base model come standard with the Blind Spot Information System1 and Rear Cross Traffic Alert2, which work together to keep you informed and aware of potentially unseen motorists behind and to the sides of your Acura. Unfortunately for fans of Lexus, the IS 300’s comparable advancements require an upgrade to access across the board. Moreover, this luxury ride doesn’t have anything even resembling the ILX’s standard Road Departure Mitigation System, as this innovation offers both corrective steering and braking to prevent you from careening off the interstate. As a result, it’s clear that Acura does more to keep you and your loved ones safe behind the wheel.
Interior Space
Whether you’re taking the whole family out to breakfast or are heading over to Fox Brook Park for a picnic, you’ll have plenty of space to enjoy within the 2020 Acura ILX. Loading up everything from your weekly grocery haul to luggage is hardly a struggle, courtesy of this model’s generous 12.4 cubic ft. of trunk space3. On the other hand, if you’re attempting to stow items in the trunk of the 2020 Lexus IS 300, you might be a bit underwhelmed by its less accommodating 10.8 cubic ft. of volume3. The story doesn’t improve much when you climb inside either, as this Lexus sedan’s second row only offers 32.2 inches of legroom. Meanwhile, the ILX has your back with its 34.0 inches of rear legroom.
Comfort
We’d like to wrap up this overview by examining the different comfort elements at your disposal in these two luxury rides. Although the Lexus IS 300 attempts to impress with its faux leather NuLuxe®4 material, this is the only upholstery you’ll be provided with. Thankfully, the Acura ILX steps up to the plate with standard leatherette appointments, as well as optional perforated Milano leather and premium leather with Ultrasuede®5 material. In fact, this vehicle even goes the extra mile with respect to the temperature, as its available GPS-linked climate control system6 tracks the sun’s relative position to make adjustments in the warmest areas of the cabin. The 2020 IS 300, on the other hand, has nothing like this.
Thanks to its outstanding amenities, we at Acura of Brookfield believe that the ILX is the winner in this model matchup of the 2020 Acura ILX vs 2020 Lexus IS 300 in Brookfield, WI. To schedule a test drive, feel free to give us a call or reserve an appointment online!

“ 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. ”
