Acura recently released the new upgrades and specs for the 2023 Integra.

The 2023 Integra returns one of the brand's best nameplates to their lineup by delivering a premium driving experience and sleek design, according to a press release from Acura. The model's price starts at approximately $30,000. The first 500 customers have a chance to receive a limited-edition NFT if they reserve the new model.

"The 2023 Acura Integra is serving the same role in the lineup as the original model that helped launch the brand three decades ago by bringing in the next generation of driving enthusiasts," Emile Korkor, assistant vice president of Acura National Sales, said in the press release. "With its engaging driving character, flexible five-door liftback body style, and advanced technology and features, the Integra will welcome a host of new buyers to the Acura brand."

With precision crafted performance, the new model is fueled by a high output, turbocharged engine with 200 horsepower that comes with a segment-exclusive, six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission (CVT), according to the press release. Integra features include a 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit digital gauge display, smartphone integration, and an eight-speaker audio system.

"Integra's class-leading driving dynamics and engaging performance is built upon an exceptionally rigid body ... to deliver precise, sporty handling and a comfortable ride," the press release said. "The 2023 Integra features sporty and compact proportions inspired by previous Integras, specifically the original five-door model that helped launch the Acura brand in 1986. The new model combines a coupe-like profile with surprising flexibility thanks to its liftback design."

Colors available for the new, synthetic leather seats are ebony, orchid, or red, according to the press release. Buyers have the option to add a 12-way power seat with lumbar support for the driver.

"Integra benefits from Acura's advanced compatibility engineering (ACE) body structure, which is designed for improved crash compatibility between vehicles of varying sizes," the press release said. 

The new 2023 Integra is designed to protect occupants in the event of a frontal collision between a small car and an SUV or large vehicle. The incredibly powerful technology design of the new upper A-pillar structure, side frame, and lower firewall structure route crash energy around the cabin, rather than through it.
