- The new Integra, a classic nameplate making a long-overdue comeback, has been previewed by Acura.
- Starting in 2022, the 2023 Integra hatchback will be offered for sale in the United States.
- The newest Honda Civic shares a chassis and powerplant with this vehicle.
The Acura Integra was the last model in the Acura portfolio with a name that was easy to say when it left the American market in 2001. The Integra is the first vehicle to reintroduce it twenty years later. The Integra, which will replace the ILX in the Acura range, is designed to appeal to both youthful enthusiasts and those who love the past.

What will the Integra cost in 2022?
With its concept automobiles, Acura has been on a roll, beginning with the Type S Concept from 2019. (now available as the TLX Type S). We have a strong suspicion that the concept will closely resemble the production Acura Integra that will be unveiled in mid-2022 given the impending unveiling of an entirely new Acura Integra. Since the 2022 Integra will take the place of the ILX in Acura’s lineup, we anticipate base costs to range from roughly $28,000 to $35,000 for the top model.
Of course, Acura may decide not to provide that information when it unveils the Integra tonight. Instead it may well want to save price until closer to the car’s release next year. Regardless, it will probably be a big topic of conversation in the months to follow as old and new Integra fans debate if this 2022 remake measures up to expectations.
Honda might produce a new Integra.
The 2019 Honda Civic Si is a more affordable enthusiast special, and the 2023 Acura Integra is a refreshing breath of JDM compact fresh air. They seem to be the same mechanically. The new Integra will be available as a five-door liftback, whilst the Civic Si is only available as a sedan, so there will be a noticeable distinction between the two. This was definitely intended. Therefore, enthusiasts, this is the decision you must make.
People will definitely be complaining in the comment sections of numerous articles on the new Integra on the internet by this point about how the absence of a coupe option somehow makes the vehicle less sporty. On the other hand, folks have been mewing incessantly about why the Civic Si and Civic hatchback aren’t five-doors and why they need a Si version in the comments sections of stories about them. They yelled into their televisions, “Where is my Honda Civic Si hatchback!” Do you now understand how difficult it is to win over an enthusiastic audience? That is a ruse of a question. It is not possible for you to.)
The new Acura Integra is the solution to all that shrieking. It is built on the same basis as the new Civic, and we already know that platform is capable of producing a hatchback body type. It also uses the Civic Si’s excellent engine and transmission, which I can personally attest to.

Citizen SI:
The mix of a spirited engine, a manual transmission, and a hatchback has long been regarded as the enthusiast’s cocktail. See also the Hyundai Veloster N, Honda Civic Type R, Subaru Impreza WRX, Ford Fiesta ST, Ford Focus ST, Ford Focus RS, Volkswagen Golf GTI. Additionally, since Acura is Honda’s luxury subsidiary, it makes logical to slap an upscale Acura logo on the current most enthusiast-focused variant of the new Civic and charge about $30,000 for it. After all, Honda is a for-profit business.
The new Civic hierarchy has the Honda-badged Civic hatch starting at $24,365, the Civic Si starting at $28,315 and the new Integra starting at slightly above that. If Acura produces an Integra Type S, it would likely cost closer to $40,000 when it launches. The new Type R will likely start in the $38,000 to $38,000 range. All of this is simply conjecture, but you read it here first.
Therefore, Honda and Acura actually made the XYZ automobile that all the fanatics out there are complaining about how ABC carmaker won’t make to fit their very, very specific impassioned wants. A five-door, manual sports automobile, the new Integra. Normally, I’d end this essay by suggesting that we wait to see how it drives, but I believe we already have a good notion.
What will the Integra cost in 2023?
Pricing for a 2023 Acura Integra The base price of the 2023 Acura Integra is $30,800 including a $1,095 destination charge. The 2023 Integra offers an A-Spec trim level that starts at $32,800 and an A-Spec with Technology Package that starts at $35,800 with a CVT or a 6-speed manual transmission.
Is the Integra for 2022 a given?
During the August Monterey Car Week, when the carmaker also introduced the 2022 NSX Type S, Acura confirmed the return of the Integra nameplate.
Since then, Acura has revealed a few more details about the new Integra, the most recent of which is the confirmation of a 6-speed manual transmission.
It comes after the unveiling of the teaser image shown above, which reveals that the new Integra will be a five-door hatchback, just like the original model.
The only thing Acura has revealed about the upcoming Integra is that it will have the “same fun-to-drive traits of the original, which, along with the Legend, helped launch Acura back in 1986.”
The Integra was last offered for sale in the United States in 2001, although the RSX, which was offered in select regions as an Integra, served as its spiritual heir for one more generation.
It is obvious that the new Integra, which will replace the ILX, which is based on the previous-generation Civic, will be a small hatchback that shares its underpinnings with the 2022 Honda Civic.
Although the Integra has usually been a two-door automobile, there have been five-door variations.
The redesigned Integra will probably debut as a 2023 model given the 2022 arrival. Since Acura has announced that every vehicle in its portfolio will be available with the brand’s performance treatment, a sportier Type S version should also be on the way. Stay tuned.
Will the Integra be AWD in 2023?
Pre-orders for the upcoming 2023 Acura Integra will soon be accepted, but don’t anticipate it to include the company’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive technology. Don’t get your hopes up, but the Civic-based Integra would be quite awesome if it could be driven by all four wheels. This month, there were online rumors that the entry-level car would get all-wheel drive, but it turns out that they are untrue.
What will the new Integra cost?
The 2023 Acura Integra configurator is currently available. The new model can cost as much as $46,350 after the $1,095 destination fee if you choose the top-of-the-line model and outfit it with every accessory offered.
The base Integra price in 2023 is $31,895. A 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 200 horsepower (149 kilowatts) and 192 pound-feet (260 Newton-meters) of torque is standard on all variants. The CVT is standard on entry-level and A-Spec models.

There are two transmission options for the A-Spec trim with the Technology Package: a CVT or a six-speed manual. The least costly clutch-equipped Integra costs $36,895.
A-Spec trim prices begin at $33,895. The lower grille, side window surround, rear spoiler, and diffuser receive additional black components. The model has fog lights and rides on 18-inch wheels. The steering wheel, dashboard, shift boot, and a leather-wrapped section of the shift knob all have red contrast stitching inside. The gauge needles are red, and the pedals are made of stainless steel.

Regardless of the transmission, the A-Spec with Technology Package costs $36,895 (plus applicable taxes). It equips the Integra with more features, such as a 9.0-inch infotainment screen in place of the smaller models’ 7.0-inch screen. It is compatible with wireless communication for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
A 12-way power driver’s seat and a 4-way power passenger seat are two additional improvements for the A-Spec with Technology Package. Instead of the 8-speaker configuration found in other Integra models, there is a 16-speaker stereo. Head-up display in color, 5.3 inches, is seen by the driver.
When will Acura reintroduce the Integra?
Update 11/11/21: Acura just unveiled the prototype for the 2023 Integra, which will go on sale at dealerships the following year.
One of the most renowned front-wheel-drive sports cars to ever leave Japan is the Acura Integra. The Integra was first introduced in 1986 alongside the Acura nameplate and left the American market in 2001 after three iterations. Acura has revealed that the Integra will return in 2022 after being absent for more than 20 years and has unveiled a new “Prototype” to show off the external style. This is what we do know.
How many horsepower can we expect from the 2023 Integra?
Effective Performance. A powerful VTEC-enhanced DOHC 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque serves as the Acura Integra’s standard source of propulsion.
Fuel Recommendation
“Using fuel with a lower octane rating might occasionally result in a metallic knocking noise in the engine and poorer engine performance. Engine damage can occur if fuel with a pump octane below 87 is used.
In the owner’s manual, Acura specifically states that 87 Octane is not recommended, but rather that metallic knocking noises may occur. According to how I interpret this, using 87 Octane won’t harm your turbocharged engine because it will adjust as necessary.
If premium fuel (91+ octane) is not available, it is usually recommended to use only 87 octane; otherwise, owners of Acura Integras should only use 91+ octane.

How quick is the brand-new Integra?

All variants have front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission as a standard feature (CVT). A six-speed manual transmission is an option for A-Spec cars.
As a base model, the Integra accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about 7.2 seconds. This time might be reduced, but only with a better engine.
