Following Honda's return to the classic Integra based on the Acura brand, the new car was recently exposed outside the 24-hour Endurance Race of Rolex Daytona. At the same time, the interior of the car was also leaked out, and the overall shape was similar to the new 11th generation Civic that had been launched recently.
Although the new car has not yet been listed, it is very much in line with the delivery standards from the exposed pictures of the new car, and its shape is basically consistent with the prototype car previously unveiled. According to previous official introductions, the starting price of the new car in North America is 30,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 190,000 yuan.
According to the exposed real car photos, the new car basically continues the "diamond-shaped pentagonal" intake grille of the Acura family, with a sharper integrated LED light group design, the overall appearance of a very combat effect.
Considering that the new car is built on the same platform as the new generation of Civic, its model size also basically continues the new 11th generation Civic, positioning a compact sports sedan. However, the car is more like a model that has been fully upgraded on the Civic model, after all, it can be seen from various details that there is a full sense of performance.
For example, the hatchback coupe style, two-color color scheme, matte gray wheels, high-performance sports brake sets from brembo, and exclusive "Integra" words and performance kits, etc., all highlight the strong sporty attributes of the new car.
As for the interior, the new car can be seen to continue the "symmetrical" central control design of the Acura family, but compared with the new 11th generation Honda Civic, it can still be seen that the two have a more obvious similarity.
The suspension central control screen, with the mesh air outlet and three-hole button shape, is basically consistent with the 11th generation Civic, especially the shape of the two on the steering wheel is only different from the LOGO.
It's just that the new Acura Integra is obviously better than the Civic in the interior materials, such as the white high-grade leather soft bag material is more superior in the interior texture, after all, the Acura brand positioning is also higher.
In terms of power, given that the car is a performance-oriented sport model, the new car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with the same 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine as the Honda Civic Si, with a maximum power of 149 kW and a peak torque of 260 Nm, the drivetrain is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission, and it is driven by front wheels.
Of course, limited-slip differentials like the One On the Civic Si will also be available in the new Integra in the future, which at first glance looks like a luxury version of the Civic Si.
It is worth mentioning that if you want a more performance version of the model, Jon Ikeda, head of Acura North America, previously revealed that Integra Type-S is in development.
In view of the fact that the new car will be positioned as a compact sports sedan, it will also compete with the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz A-Class models after the launch in the future.
Audi A3
Guidance price: 20.31-24.97 million yuan
Mercedes A-Class
Guidance price: 21.48-25.44 million yuan
As a very representative model in the Honda family and one of the "god cars" of the Honda brand, the Integra will inevitably receive the attention of the market, after all, the feelings are there.
However, considering that Acura itself is not satisfactory in the domestic market, and Guangqi Honda has launched a model model in the name of "Integra", it is expected that the real Integra will not be likely to enter China.
Netizen 1: Civic Type R is coming in! Don't save Gaqi Acura?
Netizen 2: In fact, you can borrow the name of type type-S to get civic SI in, and you can also enrich the product line of type.
Netizen 3: So it seems that the Broad Type Grid is the Acura Integra that hangs honda labels!
Netizen 4: The bottom is the same? This makes Guangqi Honda Integra very cost-effective!
Netizen 5: Is there a possibility? Is it the successor to the ILX?
