Every car is an argument about what matters, and the Acura Integra (DE) makes its case with Petrol engine and 200 hp. Acura built from 2022 — in the decade the industry is turning electric.
The story
The Acura Integra (Japanese: アキュラ・インテグラ, Hepburn: Akyura Integura) (model code DE) is a compact car manufactured by Honda and sold under the Acura brand since 2022. Succeeding the ILX (a sedan based upon the ninth-generation Honda Civic), the Integra is a five-door liftback based on the eleventh-generation Honda Civic. Acura introduced the DE Integra in North America on June 2, 2022, for the 2023 model year, as Acura's entry level offering in the region.
The model reuses the Integra nameplate which had been unused by either Honda or Acura outside China since 2006. The Integra nameplate is also used by Honda in China since 2021, as the twin model of the Civic produced by GAC Honda. The cargo capacity is 26.1 cubic feet (740 L) with the rear seats up and 76.9 cubic feet (2,180 L) with the rear seats folded down. In April 2023 for the 2024 model year, Acura released the Type S model as the high-performance model of the Integra sharing many components with the Honda Civic Type R.
What is underneath
Power comes from Petrol engine; 200 hp is the published figure; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It weighs 3073 –. Work it out per tonne and you get about 65 horsepower — unhurried — enough for the job, not for the bragging. It shifts through a 6-speed Manual transmission / manual (DE5 and DE4) / Continuously variable transmission / CVT (DE4 only). The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 107.7 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Acura ILX; assembly was at Marysville, Ohio (Marysville Auto Plant), United States. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Kia EV6, the Porsche Taycan, the JAC Group Sehol X6 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Acura catalogue sit the Acura ADX and the Acura ARX-06.
What it costs now
The money question first: $28,900–$49,100 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $2,789–$5,219 a year. Insurance sits around $1,950–$2,930 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
