Acura Integra (DE): fifth-generation sporty liftback
"Acura Integra" (DE) — fifth-generation compact sporty liftback that debuted in 2022. In this article, we review its versions, engines, and what buyers in Lithuania should know.
Integra in brief
The new "Integra" — a five-door liftback built on the "Honda Civic" platform. It brings the famous name back to the "Acura" lineup and is aimed at those who enjoy a sporty yet practical car.
The car is mostly sold in North America, so it's quite rare in Lithuania and often imported from the USA. Therefore, it's worth getting familiar with the paperwork and registration in advance.
Versions
The base version comes with a 1.5-litre turbo engine, while the "Type S" features a more powerful 2.0-litre turbo engine. In between, there's the "A-Spec" version with a sportier look and equipment.
If driving pleasure is important, the "Type S" really stands out. For most daily use, the standard or "A-Spec" versions should suffice.
Engines and transmissions
The standard "Integra" has a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with around 200 hp and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or manual gearbox. The "Type S" comes with a 2.0-litre turbo engine with around 320 hp and a six-speed manual gearbox.
Front-wheel drive. Body style — liftback, so the boot is convenient and practical.
What to check when buying a used Integra
First, check the car's history and documents, especially if it's been imported from the USA. Ask for service records and check if any recalls have been carried out.
Test the gearbox and engine, listen for any unusual noises. Since Acura isn't sold in Europe, find out in advance who will handle the servicing and where you'll get parts.
