Overview

Acura is a luxury and performance division that is owned by the Japanese automaker Honda. This car is mostly based in North America and the brand was launched on 27th March 1986, and with the aim of marketing luxury and performance automobiles, Acura started its operations in North America. The US company now sells cars in the US, Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Kuwait, they also hold a distinction for being the first luxury division established by Honda. The creation of the Acura coincided with the introduction of the JDM Honda Dealership which was called Honda Clio by sales channels. This was in addition to the Honda Verno which was established previously. And since its launch Acura has established itself as one of the leading manufacturers of luxury and performance vehicles.

The company’s success can be attributed to its focus on technological innovation and world-class performance. Acura has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible and can be made possible in the automotive industry, by introducing several new technologies and designs that got hold of the public's attention. The 2024 Acura Integra is the car we are gonna look at today, it is a premium sports compact car, whose price range starts from $33,500. Equipped with a 200 horsepower VTEC Turbo engine, it also comes with paddle shifters, this mid-size car delivers both power and control in equal amounts. The Integra goes head to head with the Audi A3, the BMW 2-series Gran Coupe and the Mercedes Benz CLA 250.

Buying Advice

The Acura Integra provides a very engaging drive and poses as a great option for the driver-focused crowd. Our favorite pick definitely has to be the Integra Elite A-Spec with the manual transmission simply because not a lot of brands offer a stick shifter and it’s much more fun to be behind the wheel.

The pricing of this car starts from $33,500 and goes up to $36,500. The Integra is equipped with a VTEC Turbo engine. This car is the smallest and the most affordable in Acura’s line-up.

This premium sportscar comfortably delivers a very engaging driving experience. It boasts an agile handling experience and also offers options for a manual transmission which is paired with the Rev-Match Control system and pushes the boundaries to redline. This car handles beautifully thanks to the balanced steering and firm yet supple suspension.

2024 Acura Integra Braking Performance

The Integra is equipped with a dependable braking system, which delivers consistent stopping power. The brake in this car is finely tuned for smooth deceleration.

The Integra A-spec comes with 12.3-inch front brake rotors and 11.1-inch rear brake rotors.

Overall the braking performance in this vehicle is quite good and gives a tough fight to the other vehicles in its segment.

As for braking performance the first place is taken by the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 which has the best braking performance among the four, also the big brake rotors provide smooth braking. In second place comes the Integra A-spec which overall provides sufficiently stiff and responsive braking performance. The other two positions cannot be decided because of the lack of information regarding the brake rotors of the Audi A3 and the BMW 2-series Gran Coupe.

Fuel Economy
8.0/10

The 2024 Integra base model comes with impressive fuel efficiency, with an EPA estimated rating of 29 MPG in cities, and 36 MPG on highways, and this results in a combined fuel economy of 32 MPG.
