The 2024 Acura Integra is powered by a 1.5L turbo charged 4-cylinder that makes a healthy 200 horsepower. The engine is mated to an automatic CVT transmission while a 6-speed manual is available on the A-Spec Tech Package trim. This all adds up to sprightly performance from the powerful drivetrain, as well as relaxed cruising on the highway, thanks to the extra gears. The new Type S trim is powered by a turbocharged 2L 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission that produces 320 horsepower.
Power is sent to the front wheels in the Integra making for decent traction. Suspension tuning strikes a nice balance between handling and ride. The Integra feels smooth and controlled on twisty roads, but the suspension is still soft enough to soak up all but the biggest bumps.
The Integra bills itself as a compact sport car, and its list of standard features backs up that assertion. Standard items on the basic Integra include a sport ride suspension, pedals, 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport mode with aggressive engine sound and a sport focused throttle and the ability to choose the steering settings. The Integra also offers a comfort mode with ambient lighting, a 10.2-inch digital cluster and a smooth effortless drive.

The Integra returned to the Acura lineup in 2023 after a long hiatus. The 2024 Integra adds a new Type S trim but otherwise carries over with minimal changes.
The Acura Integra is an entry-level sport compact car that competes against the Honda Civic, Subaru WRX, Kia Stinger and Toyota Camry. Being smaller means the Integra is right at home in the city, where parallel parking a large vehicle might be problematic. Buyers who don't necessarily want or need a large car may find themselves in the enviable position of being able to get luxury appointments in a small urban-friendly package.
