The Integra rolls into 2025 with minimal changes.

The 2025 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 6-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, 17-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 features an Individual mode as well that allows the driver to customize the specification for a more personalized ride.

Standard features include Apple CarPlay\Android Auto integration, an 8-speaker sound system with Bluetooth, USB, internet radio, a 7-inch touchscreen, a multi-view rear facing camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, powered and heated side mirrors, LED headlights. AcuraWatch is also standard and includes collision mitigating braking, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning.

The A-Spec Tech Package trim also upgrades the radio to a 16-speaker system with HD satellite radio, adds front and rear parking sensors, an adaptive sport suspension, rear lip spoiler, turn signal indicators in the mirrors, LED fog lights, a 4-way power lumbar for the driver seat, driver seat memory that incudes the side mirrors, a 9-inch touchscreen, wireless device charging, 4 USB ports, head-up display, and rain sensing wipers.

The Type S trim adds 19-inch wheels, painted calipers, bigger brakes, while the seating is reduced to 4 with sport bucket heated front seats.

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.
