At Valencia Acura we always bring you the latest news from Acura. The first Acura hybrid will be manufactured in Greensburg, Ind., Acura recently announced in a press release. Assembly of the ILX, a luxury sedan, is expected to begin in spring 2012.

The Greensburg plant received the Platinum Award from J.D. Power and Associates for outstanding quality. It was one of only three auto manufacturing plants in the world to receive the award in 2011.

The Acura ILX will be available with a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, as well as a standard gasoline engine.

The Acura ILX will replace the TSX as the automaker’s entry-level offering. Unlike the TSX, the Acura ILX will share its chassis with the Honda Civic. The former was built on the Honda Accord platform.

The ILX is not only the first Acura hybrid vehicle, but the first Acura model built at the Greensburg, Ind. plant. The plant currently produces the Honda Civic sedan, and is a zero-waste-to-landfill facility, meaning it sends no waste to landfills.

The company has not revealed the Acura ILX release date, but the Acura hybrid is expected to hit showrooms toward the end of 2012 as part of the 2013 Acura lineup.

Pricing has not yet been announced for the Acura ILX or the Acura hybrid. Its predecessor, the TSX, has a starting MSRP of $30,695 (plus destination charges) for the 2012 model year.

When the first Acura ILX and the Acura hybrid model goes on sale, it will be available at Valencia Acura in Valencia, Calif.

Valencia Acura, located at 23955 Creekside Road, and on the Web at www.valenciaacura.com, has won numerous awards, including the Honda Finance Council of Excellence award each year from 2004 to 2010. Valencia Acura was also named AIADA Dealer of the Year in 2006.

Valencia Acura revealed the expansion of the popular AcuraLink communication system to include a mobile app available to all Acura customers. The mobile system integrates with onboard navigation to provide appointment reminders and access to roadside assistance.

The availability of the new app means that drivers can ask for assistance using their smartphone. They can also receive messages from Acura on their phone. Drivers can even track the status of their emergency requests using their phone. If a tow truck was dispatched, the app furnishes drivers with the name and phone number of the towing company. Valencia Acura is proud to offer AcuraLink services to all new and existing Acura drivers.

Developed by the same company that provides roadside assistance for Acura, the new AcuraLink app makes the popular digital communication system more accessible than before. Rather than rely on the on-board navigation screen for communications, drivers now have the option to ask for help through their phone. This can help locked out drivers and those who cannot stay inside their car during emergency conditions.

Valencia Acura encourages all its customers to use the new app whenever they need assistance with a dead battery, flat tire or out-of-gas situation. Drivers can also get service reminders, recall information and other alerts sent by the automaker. Emergency services are available all day, every day.

AcuraLink has led the automotive industry by providing quality integration of digital communications with the best vehicles on the road. Acura owners and shoppers with questions about the new app can call or visit Valencia Acura for more information.
