Also, the original was available in a hatchback version.
A confusing sea of three-letter model names for sedans or SUVs has made it difficult to find a real name. Acura will soon be reintroducing a true name. The Integra name isn’t just any name. It has been around for almost 20 years and was the brand’s first luxury model. The Integra was available in many body styles throughout its lifetime, but Acura is unsure if the new version will be as versatile.
It will not include an SUV or crossover, but we do know that it will . Acura’s official teaser image shows a sharp, shallow front like the current TLX. Acura also provided an outline of the Integra’s body along with a cool aerial drone display during the Type S reveal. It’s a long and low-slung car, which gives us the impression of a fastback with two doors. Motor1.com asked Acura for further information. However, Acura’s spokesperson refused to confirm or deny that the new Integra has two, four, or any other body style. Everything is available.
The new Integra is expected to use the bones from the Honda Civic as its chassis. We also know that Honda dropped two-door options for US buyers. Although that’s a valid argument for a four door Integra, the NSX drone shows us that the body shape gives us two-door vibes. We can’t help but wonder how a four door Integra would fit in Acura’s lineup with the TLX, ILX sedans. A two-door Integra replacement is logical, given the departure of the two-door NSX. A four-door “coupe”, body style is very popular these days.
also reported in 2020 on an alleged leak of Acura dealership information regarding a Type S compact sedan that was due to launch before 2022. There was no mention of a new coupe, or hatchback. This leak occurred in the middle the first COVID lockdown, long before the microchip shortage was even a thing. Therefore, current production plans for new models are likely to be behind schedule.
We don’t care if it has two or four doors, but we think the new Integra will be a big hit when it debuts. Acura’s social media posts indicate that this should occur in spring 2022.
