The 2023 Acura Integra will arrive at U.S. dealerships in June with a base price of $30,800. However, if you’re eyeing the manual variant, you’ll have to cough up $35,800 and that’s before factoring in the $1,095 destination fee.
That’s a lot more than Honda’s sister-model, the Civic Si, which begins at $27,300 and features the same engine as well as a standard six-speed manual.
Putting that aside, the entry-level Integra features JewelEye LED headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights. They’re joined by a moonroof and 17-inch alloy wheels.
Moving into the cabin, drivers will find a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 7-inch infotainment system with wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Other highlights include an eight-speaker audio system and heated synthetic leather seats with eight-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. Buyers will also find an Integrated Dynamics System with Comfort, Normal, and Sport modes.

In terms of safety, the AcuraWatch suite of driver assistance systems includes Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Collision Mitigation Braking. They’re joined by Traffic Jam Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a Blind Spot Information System with Rear Cross-Traffic Monitoring.
Buyers looking for something sportier can opt for the Integra A-Spec, which begins at $32,800. It features LED fog lights, gloss black accents, and a rear spoiler. The model also rides on larger 18-inch alloy wheels with a shark gray finish.
Interior changes are relatively minor, but drivers will find contrast stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and shifter. Elsewhere, there are stainless steel pedals and red gauge needles.
The A-Spec Technology Package Has A No-Cost Manual Option
The $35,800 Integra A-Spec Technology Package rewards customers with a more luxurious interior that features synthetic leather seats with microsuede inserts as well as 12-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. That isn’t the only change as the range-topping model boasts a 4-way power front passenger seat, a wireless smartphone charger, ambient interior lighting, and a larger 9-inch infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Rounding out the highlights are a head-up display, a 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D premium audio system, and an adaptive damper system. The model also comes equipped with front/rear parking sensors, low-speed braking control, and a revised Integrated Dynamics System with a customizable Individual mode.
Regardless of which trim is selected, all Integras have a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS) and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a continuously variable transmission that sends power exclusively to the front wheels. However, the range-topping Integra A-Spec Technology Package can be equipped with a six-speed manual at no extra cost.
While the Integra is $3,500 more expensive than the ILX, the model comes with three years of AcuraLink services as well as the new Acura Maintenance Program. The latter covers “select factory-scheduled maintenance” – such as oil and filter changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections – for two years or 24,000 miles (38,624 km).
