In today's automotive market, there are a variety of models under the banner of sports, but there are few real sports cars. If you want to buy a car with performance, driving control, intelligence and classics in the 100,000-200,000 yuan market segment, I am afraid that there are not many choices for consumers.
However, people go to high places, water flows to low places, and behind the iterative updates, we can always bring us some unexpected surprises. At the end of 2021, GUANGC Honda brings us a blockbuster surprise, a benchmark model that can interpret the new generation of sports cars - INTEGRA model!
If you're a Honda fan, you should be familiar with INTEGRA, which was introduced to the market in the 1980s and has undergone four iterations, making it one of Honda's most classic models.
The first generation of THETEGRA models was released in 1985, positioned between ARCARD and CIVIC, and was enthusiastically sought after the market after its launch; the second generation was introduced in 1989, but it was the third and fourth generations that really caused a sensation in the market. The timeline came to 1993, the third generation of INTEGRA was officially launched, and then it took only 2 years to launch the Type R version in 1995, becoming the second Type R model of the Honda brand, so it also established the legendary status of INTEGRA. In the fourth generation in 2001, INTEGRA was equipped with the K20A i-VTEC engine, which is also known as the pinnacle of INTEGRA.
Back to today, INTEGRA has entered China in the name of style, can it have both the original purity and the current trend?
