The new Acura Integra 2023 has been presented in society. Acura revives an iconic brand name for use on a new-generation compact sports car. A model loaded with technology that offers a mechanical section to attract the most purist public.
Acura has consummated the resurrection of an iconic trade name. The new Acura Integra 2023 has been presented in society. A very interesting sports car of compact dimensions bursts onto the scene that has been baptized with a name that represents a very important part of the history of the American brand and of Honda in other markets. A name whose return to the market is already a reality.
The arrival of the new Integra is part of an ambitious product offensive that the brand Acura is carrying out. The company hopes that the addition of this model to its lineup will allow it to give a strong boost to its sales in North America.
The design and technology of the new Acura Integra 2023
There are no surprises aesthetically. The reason? This is the production version of the Acura Integra Prototype that debuted late last year. A prototype that was very close to the final design of the vehicle that would end up in dealerships. Now, we can see what the new Integra looks like configured, for example, with the A-spec package.
The A-Spec configuration brings out the sportier and more radical side of the new Integra. Equip a body kit with moldings and other components as well as 18-inch wheels finished in Shark Gray. And for the interior, which we will talk about next, it also includes specific elements such as stainless steel pedals.
Leaving aside the exterior, if we go inside the new Integra we will be surrounded by a technological and sporty environment. The “nerve center” of the passenger compartment is a up to 9-inch touch screen, a key component to drive the infotainment system. It is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. To this must be added a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster respectively.
All units feature synthetic leather upholstery and are available in Ebony, Red and Orchid colours. The heated front seats are also part of the standard equipment and, in the case of the driver’s seat, it is electrically adjustable.
The list of driving assistance systems
It is wide. The AcuraWatch package includes technologies such as Traffic Sign Recognition, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitoring.
The engine of the new Acura Integra 2023
Regarding the mechanical section, under the hood of the new Integra there is a 1.5-litre VTEC Turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine which develops a power of 203 hp (200 hp) and 260 Nm
of maximum torque. An engine that, depending on the trim level, can be associated with a six-speed manual gearbox or a CVT-type automatic transmission. In both cases the power is sent to the front axle.
Release date and prices of the new Acura Integra 2023
When will it hit dealers? The landing of the new Integra in Acura dealerships is scheduled for the end of next spring. Prices are not yet official and will be communicated at the time when the launch date approaches. However, the brand has indicated that it will be available from approximately $30,000 (€27,500).
Another important key to point out is that we will be before the first Integra made in America. The series production process will take place at Honda’s facility in Marysville, Ohio. It will share facilities with the Acura TLX. The engine will also be made in Ohio.
