The famous Integra nameplate has been resurrected by Honda’s Acura luxury division in an effort to gain traction in the entry-luxury small market. The outdated ILX sedan, an entry-luxury compact that didn’t have much of an impact on the category, is replaced by the all-new Integra. Some people might be perplexed as to why a premium automaker would decide to introduce a sporty four-door sedan in the era of the SUV, but we would be quick to point out that the Integra played a significant role in the development of the Acura brand.
The all-new Honda Civic and the new vehicle have similar underpinnings. It has the same 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the Civic Si, and a six-speed manual transmission is an option (an automatic is standard). The Integra lacks the luxury features seen on rivals like the Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz CLA-class, but it is enjoyable to drive and has a somewhat more premium presence than the Civic.
