So….as I was cruising and did a grocery run, on my way home, I spotted this 2023 Acura Integra sitting at the parking lot of a nearby Acura dealership. I had to make a detour to get to see this brand new vehicle up close and personal.
As we all know how popular and nostalgic of this “Integra” name plate is in the Acura history. Acura announced last year that they were going to bring back this name plate. There are lots of buzz surrounding this vehicle as people are wondering what this all-new Integra going to look like.
As you can see from my photos, the front looks pretty much the same as any other Acura vehicles that share the same visual DNA design cue. This Integra is based on the new Civic hatchback. This is in a A-SPEC model in red body paint. You can see the “Integra” name etch on the front and rear bumpers.
When I peeked into the interior, it has the manual gear shift. However, the interior pretty much look the same as the Civic’s interior, carrying over the honey comb ventilation design.
On YouTube videos right now, there are many Youtubers are debating if this Acura Integra, with almost $10,000 CDN more than the Civic Si is worth the money. Some prefers the Honda Civic Si over this as it’s more fun, cheaper and with decent features and options that is very much comparable to the Acura Integra.
At the end of the day, I think it all depends on an individual’s wallet, brand value, style and preference.
MoVernie QUESTION: Do you like the design of this all-new 2023 Acura Integra? Do you prefer Honda Civic Si or Acura Integra A-SPEC?
Based on the Acura Canada website, the base 2023 Acura Integra starts at the MSRP of $34,350 CDN with automatic transmission. NOTE: To get the manual gearbox, you need to get the highest trim level of the Integra A-SPEC with manual.
