Sporty 2023 Acura Integra hits Canadian roads in June

Three trim levels start at base price of just more than $34,000

Running with the trend of “what's old is new,” Acura's once-popular Integra nameplate is coming back to Canadian roads this June.

Pricing for the base trim comes in at $34,350 but, really, who buys a base model? (Ahem, paging Driving.ca videograph­er Clayton Seams).

The middle trim, the A-Spec, comes in at $37,050 in Canada; and climbing the ladder to the Integra Elite A-Spec, with either an automatic or the segment's only 6-speed manual transmissi­on, you'll find an MSRP of $42,550, which, to me, is worth it. Ask me again after I've driven it.

I'll get you up to speed on the new Integra with a rundown of some key features:

First-ever factory turbocharg­ing on an Integra comes fitted with a 1.5-litre VTEC® engine producing 200 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque; Class-leading rear seat legroom and cargo volume; Standard 10.2inch all-digital Acura Precision Cockpit instrument cluster and available head-up display, available 9-inch touchscree­n with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integratio­n, Qi-compatible wireless charging, and 16-speaker audio

All of the #savetheman­uals drivers out there, here you go — a DIY transmissi­on in a new sporty-esque car you might just be able to afford.
