The 2019 update mainly modernized the ILX visually and electronically, while keeping the familiar 2.4 i-VTEC and 8-speed DCT. That older but proven technical base still makes sense for buyers who prefer reliability and mechanical clarity over badge prestige.
On the used market, transmission behavior and the condition of the surrounding electronics matter just as much as mileage. A good ILX 2019 shifts cleanly, idles smoothly and keeps its front end precise. Neglected cars often show dry dampers, tired mounts and driver-assistance calibration issues after poor repairs.
