2023 ACURA INTEGRA GETS 200 HP, BLAZER SS EV AND OTHER NEWS! WEEKLY UPDATE

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Acura Integra is reviewed, closely mirroring the Civic Si with its 1.5-liter turbo engine producing 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, though a power bump over the Si is notably absent. The reviewer expresses disappointment that the manual transmission and limited-slip differential are exclusive to the top A-Spec Tech trim, a strategy likened to Mazda's. While the Integra offers adaptive dampers and a hatchback body style (unlike the Si), these features are also confined to the higher trim. The interior shares much with the Civic but includes a standard 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster and heated seats. Priced around $30,000, with the top trim potentially reaching $35,000, the Integra is seen as a more luxurious Civic. The reviewer questions its value proposition against the Si, despite the added features, and notes the absence of Type S or Type R variants, suggesting it fulfills the role of a 'nicer Civic' as historically intended.
