After going into hibernation for 21 years, the Acura Integra has reemerged and is all-new for 2023. And It is available solely as a four-door liftback. The all-new Integra is engineered for the next generation of driving enthusiasts with a sleek liftback exterior design, thrilling turbocharged engine, and a sport-focused interior.
Equally aspirational and attainable, the price point of the Integra means that it will now serve as the gateway into the Acura brand…. Starting under 31,000. Not only is the Integra the only 5-door liftback in its class – it’s also the only premium sport compact to offer an available 6-speed manual transmission as featured with my loan this week. Inside its driver-focused cabin, you’ll discover an array of groundbreaking tech features including the stunning 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit™ digital gauge cluster, standard smartphone integration, and available head-up display (HUD).
Setting a new standard for both active and passive safety, the Acura Integra is equipped with the proven Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure and the latest generation of the AcuraWatch™ suite of active safety and driver-assistive technologies.
The 2023 Acura Integra is available in three trim levels: Standard, A-Spec Package, and A-Spec Technology Package. All Integra trims are equipped with a 200-horsepower 1.5-liter turbo engine and front-wheel drive. A six-speed manual transmission is available only on the top trim.
