Like the first-generation Integra from 1986, the design will take the kind of a facelifted sedan, however upgraded with Acura’s modern-day styling hints. That suggests specifically shaped LED lights that comprise the angular “Diamond Pentagon” grille at the front.
Curved taillights and a smooth interior decoration are seen on either side of the aggressive tailgate. A tidy line ranges from the front wheel arch that converges the front door and includes some hostility to the profile without disrupting the Integra’s tidy style. The front and rear bumpers likewise get a retro-style “INTEGRA” logo design embedded in the plastic.
The base is the Honda Civic hatchback
A long front end and an arched roofline provide it Civic hatchback, which is most likely behind these Acura-specific style components. Acura has actually done an excellent task styling the Integra, with a tidy front end thanks to a frameless grille and a hood that is a little reminiscent of the second-gen Integra as it is incorporated into the bumper and fenders.
Even the Indy Yellow color is stated to be similar to the Phoenix Yellow of the Integra Type R. Still, those wishing for a retro cut will be dissatisfied that the Integra Prototype does not wander off too far from the Civic’s general percentages.
Since it’s just a style workout up until now, the Acura Integra Prototype that we’ve seen face to face has no interior. We presume it will take the well-crafted Civic as a beginning point and spruce it up a bit with various colors and much better products throughout the interior.
1.5 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder
Acura’s True Touchpad user interface might be included, or the Integra might utilize a customized variation of the Honda Civic’s user-friendly infotainment system, which features a 9.0-inch touchscreen and cordless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Although not yet formally validated, the Integra Prototype will be based upon the Civic’s chassis, which will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Those are the exact same terms Honda utilizes to explain the engine in the Civic Si sedan, however we hope Acura puts more power down compared to the cars and truck’s 203 hp and 260 Nm.
Unlike the manual-transmission Si, the 2023 Integra will include a six-speed handbook and an undefined automated transmission– a continually variable transmission alternative. Front-wheel drive will be basic, and it does not appear like the Acura Integra Prototype (or its stock follower) will have torque converter four-wheel drive.
The production variation of the Integra Prototype is arranged to be readily available at dealerships in mid-2022 Precise prices is unidentified, however Acura has stated the production cars and truck will begin around $30,000, drawing attention from the more pricey Mercedes. Class and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe draws in.

We’re likewise keeping our fingers crossed for the Integra Type S, based upon the Honda Civic’s 310 hp (228 kW) four-cylinder Type R can be run. Such an Integra would be an intriguing Japanese partner for Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 and bmw M235 i Gran Coupe
Either method, we’re happy that Acura is restoring a famous name from the past and we can just hope that the pattern continues.
