The Acura ILX 2.4 2013
and Buick Verano Turbo 2013 are both referred to
as entry-level luxury sedans engineered especially to pull in the up &
coming genre of Gen Y. Both are high performance cars with easy to drive
features and reduced noise level but the article here highlights on the typical
pros and cons of each of the cars enabling you to choose the most compatible
for you between the two effectively.
Buick has better horsepower & torque
The
Acura ILX 2.4 comes with a 2.4l of 4 cylinder engine with a Horsepower of 201
hp. In contrast, the Buick is equipped with 2.0 l of Turbo 4 engine with a
relative higher horsepower of 250 hp. Moreover, while Acura has a torque of 170
lb-ft, it’s competitor Buick Verano Turbo comes with a fantastic torque of 260
lb-ft, matched to the 6 forward 7 driver-selected gears.
Acura
promises a fast move but Buick will assures of a faster ride than the former
with effortless ease as turbo spools & without any to slam the gears.
Acura features a more comfortable seating
Acura
features a highly comfortable inside seating with noticeably tighter head space
at the back and front. The Buick Verano disappoints here with its higher center
bump & it’s also tighter on the 2nd row knees creating
not-so-comfortable seating for those with longer legs.
Acura is lighter in weight
The
Acura ILX 2.4 is the car of your choice if you are looking for a lightweight
luxury car. Acura weighs around 2953 pounds and simply skimps the road. On the
other hand Buick 3451 pounds which is nearly 498 pounds higher over the Acura
model.
Buick is ultra quiet
It
seems Buick has really worked hard on sound deadening efforts. As per the users
and reviewers, the Acura model allows for 18 % more road, wind & impact
clamor when comes in comparison to its Buick counterpart which is undoubtedly a
huge difference. Buick has been serious about sound deadening this time and
Verano’s “Quiet Tuning” is one of the most remarkable features of the car, even
though it makes the vehicle more weighty over Acura.
Many
of you might be under the impression that Acura’s low weight enables it to run
smoothly on twisty tight roads yet Buick is engineered with a much better
caliber to run well on the curves which might scare off many of the Acura and
previous Buick lineups.
Buick
presents better graphical UI
Both the Buick
Verano & Acura ILX allow for Android Pandora application set up- however,
the Buick comes out as a clear winner here given its more vibrant and crispier
graphical UI which seems smoother to the eye in comparison to the graphical UI
of Acura model. The Acura screen size is 2 inches smaller than the Buick one
which comes with a commendable 7 inches of screen size.
In conclusion it could
be said that both the vehicles are perfect vanguards of near-luxury compact
vehicle segment yet Buick emerges as the winner for most of the users given its
better fun-to-drive quotient and ultra quiet nature over Acura’s simply quiet
and good fun-to-drive factor.
