Acura confirmed today that its upcoming 2023 Integra will again set the benchmark for affordable entry-level premium performance cars. Acura will begin deliveries of the new Integra in just a couple of months. Acura confirmed that the starting price will be close to $30K.
The 2023 Integra is available for reservation at participating dealers starting right now. The first 500 customers to reserve their next-gen Integra will have the opportunity to claim a nonfungible token from Acura's Virtual Auto Showroom.
Three trim levels will be offered. Integra, A-Spec Package, and A-Spec With Technology Package. AcuraWatch Advanced Safety and Driver Assistive Technology is standard across the line The top trim will include the amazing 16-Speaker ELS STUDIO 3D Premium Audio System we have been astounded by in the Acura vehicles. The Technology package also increases the screen size from 7 to 9-inches and adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Alexa Built-In, Qi-compatible wireless charging and a 5.3-inch Head-Up Display (HUD).
All Integras will be powered by a 200 hp four-cylinder turbocharged engine. A CVT transmission is available on all trims, and the top two trims will have the option of a six-speed manual with matching revs. This powertrain sounds a lot like the one in the Civic SI from Honda, and that is a very good thing.
What's missing? All-wheel drive is not an option, and the two lower trims' Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration require a cable.
The new Integra is one vehicle this former Integra and Civic SI owner simply cannot wait to experience. Look for a full review here soon.
