Some time ago, the news that Acura will withdraw from the domestic automobile market can be said to be boiling over, as a luxury brand that only entered the country in 2006 and was officially domestically produced in 2016, the decline of Acura has also sounded the alarm for other brands in China.
In 2016, when GAC Acura was first established, it did bring benefits to Acura's localization in the Chinese market. In the following years, three models, including TLX-L, CDX, and RDX, were domestically produced, making substantial contributions to the increase in Acura's sales in China. From 2017 to 2019, Acura ushered in the "golden three years" in the Chinese market.
But since then, Acura has significantly slowed down the rhythm of introducing new cars to the Chinese market, product replacement is not timely, product matrix is scarce, which directly leads to Acura's domestic sales fell sharply, and last year there were only more than 5,000 sales results in the whole year, so it had to consider quitting the Chinese market to stop losses.
Acura Integra released overseas
When it comes to Integra, everyone may think of the Civic sister model Integra launched by Guangqi Honda last year, but in fact, in the North American market, Acura's Integrgra has also been popular, since Acura released the news of "resurrecting" Integra, many fans have expressed their expectations. Just recently, the official picture of the new Acura Integralgra was finally released, and the new car will be officially delivered in North America in the first quarter.
It is reported that the new Acura Integra and Honda Civic with the same platform to build, in the appearance of the design is also the use of a new family design language, black diamond type grille full of Acura brand characteristics, the grille center logo also uses a luminous design, the two sides of the slender full LED light group and sharp daytime running lights appear to be very aggressive, with black front surround quite dynamic.
As a sports sedan, Acura Integra is also very sporty in the side design, with a multi-segment waistline and a sneaky tail design, which makes people full of driving desire at a glance. At the same time, the size of the Acura Integra wheels is also optional, the official standard is a 17-inch wheel, but it can be optionally equipped with 18-inch or even 19-inch sports wheels, which can be said to be quite conscientious.
As for the tail design, Acura Integra also has its own characteristics. The entire tail shape is full and round, the new tail light group shape is flat and sharp, and the light source is quite handsome after lighting, which corresponds to the front of the car. The layout of the exhaust holes of the two sides is also a further display of the attributes of its own sports car.
The Civic Si shares 1.5T power and starts at less than 200,000
In terms of power, Acura Integra, like the domestic GUANGC Honda Integra, is equipped with a 1.5T engine as standard in the whole series. But this 1.5T engine is more powerful than gac-Car Honda Integra, with a maximum horsepower of 204Ps and a maximum torque of 260N·m, which is already comparable to the performance of some 2.0T engines.
The 1.5T engine equipped with the 1.5T engine equipped by the domestic Guangqi Honda Integra has a maximum horsepower of only 182Ps and a maximum torque of 240N·m, which is also the performance parameter of the eleventh generation Civic. However, in the gearbox, Acura Integral also provides manual and CVT options, which is not much different from the domestic version of Guangqi Honda Integra.
More critically, in terms of price, Acura Integra has opened pre-sales in the North American market, with a pre-sale price of $30,000, which translates to 189,700 yuan, while the starting price of Civic Si in North America is only $27,300, which is converted into about 170,000 yuan, and the difference between the two is less than 20,000 yuan.
Although there are also jokes that the Acura Integra is a hulled version of the Civic Si, it has only added less than 20,000 yuan to transform into a luxury sports car, isn't it fragrant? Just imagine, if Acura had such sincerity in China, would it not have fallen to the point of delisting?
Write at the end:
In short, Acura's delisting in China is basically a foregone conclusion, just waiting for the official announcement. Domestic consumers will not feel sorry for acura's delisting, because in China, they basically can't see the sincerity shown by acura, and acura, which does not attach importance to the Chinese market, is also a matter of course.
