The Acura Integra is a compact luxury car (C-segment) manufactured by Honda under the Acura brand since 2022. Succeeding the ILX sedan (based upon the ninth-generation Honda Civic), the Integra is a 5-door liftback based on the eleventh-generation Honda Civic.
The DE Integra was introduced in North America on June 2, 2022, for the 2023 model year, as Acura's entry level offering in the region. The model reuses the Integra nameplate which had been unused by either Honda or Acura outside China since 2006. The Integra nameplate is also used by Honda in China since 2021, as the twin model of the Civic produced by GAC Honda.
In April 2023, the Type S model was released as the high-performance model of the Integra. It shares many components with the Honda Civic Type R.




Overview


The design was done in Japan. On March 10, 2022, Acura unveiled the production version of the 2023 Integra. The design of the production Integra is nearly identical to the pre-production version, however, the yellow exterior color and exterior decals shown on the pre-production model would not be available on the production model. The interior of the production Integra shares several parts from the eleventh-generation Civic including its infotainment system, rather than using the infotainment from the existing Acura RDX and Acura MDX. The 107.7-inch wheelbase is the same as the Civic, however the Integra is longer and stiffer while having unique body panels.
The standard powertrain is a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine from the Honda Civic Si producing 200 hp (149 kW; 203 PS) and 192 lb⋅ft (260 N⋅m; 27 kg⋅m) of torque mated to a standard CVT, or an available 6-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential. Unlike the previous Japanese-built Integras, this generation is produced in the United States at the Marysville Auto Plant in Marysville, Ohio instead.
The Integra is available in three trim levels: an unnamed base model, the mid-level A-Spec, and the top-tier A-Spec Technology Package. While all models offer a CVT, only the A-Spec Technology Package model offers a six-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential.
Pre-orders for the 2023 Integra opened on March 10, 2022, with the first 500 pre-orders also receiving a complimentary exclusive NFT of the vehicle.













Type S (DE5)



The Integra Type S (DE5 model code) was revealed on April 11, 2023. It shares internal key components with the FL5 Civic Type R, including the 2.0-liter turbocharged K20C1 inline-4 engine, four-piston Brembo brakes and 6-speed manual transmission – it cannot be ordered with an automatic gearbox. It also shares the wider tracks of that model, which required the addition of fender flares.
Acura's official information states that it reaches 320 hp at 6,500 rpm and 310 lb-ft or 420 Nm between 2,600 to 4,000 rpm, which is 5 hp higher and the same torque compared to the Honda. It should also be noted that on the Monroney sticker the engine code is K20C8 which is identical in all aspects to the K20C1 with the exception of the mounting points. The front and rear tracks were made wider, and it also has the same dual-axis front suspension setup as the Civic Type R that is meant to quell torque steer. Adaptive dampers, which are also available in the Integra A-Spec, are adjusted based on drive-mode selection, which in the Type S consists of Comfort, Sport, and Sport+. The brakes were upgraded with larger discs for front and rear.

The Acura Integra Type S was included in Car and Driver's 10Best list for 2024. Road & Track named the Integra Type S their Performance Car of the Year under $100,000 for 2024.
