2023 Acura Integra debuts with 200hp engine: Check features
Honda-owned Acura has launched its 2023 Integra model in the US market and it is expected to reach dealerships by June. The car was unveiled in March this year with a coupe-like silhouette and a 1.5-liter turbocharged, four-cylinder petrol engine making 200hp. It shares its underpinnings with the 11th-generation Honda Civic but feels premium with the five-door liftback design and plush leather interiors.
- Acura is the luxury and performance car division of Japanese auto giant Honda. It was created to primarily cater to North America but soon expanded to other international markets.
- The 2023 Integra makes its entry back into the luxury car segment of the automaker after an absence of more than two decades from the market.
The 2023 Acura Integra features a modern, blacked-out pentagonal grille with a large logo at its center, a wide air dam, and LED headlights with brow-shaped DRLs.

It gets sweptback LED taillights, a large diffuser with twin exhausts, and a sloping, liftback tailgate at the rear side.
For the passengers' safety, the new Acura Integra comes with multiple airbags, ABS, and several ADAS functions such as automatic emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist along with blind-spot monitoring as well as rear cross-traffic monitoring.
The 2023 Acura Integra has a luxurious 5-seater cabin, featuring leather upholstery, automatic climate control, powered front seats, and a multifunctional steering wheel.
