The reborn 2025 Integra is a challenging case. With the manual transmission, it's fun to drive, but it's also less refined than its direct rivals and uncomfortably similar to the Honda Civic Si, which retails for thousands less. Conversely, with the continuously variable automatic (CVT), the Integra is more affordable but less fun. The hatchback body style adds some welcome versatility, but overall it's hard to find much about this Acura that distinguishes it from the pack.

2025 Acura Integra Review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Josh Jacquot

2/10/2025

The 2025 Integra, Acura's smallest and most affordable offering, resurrects a celebrated nameplate from the brand's past and affixes it to what is essentially a very nice Honda Civic hatchback. The Integra shares its basic structure with the Honda but gets unique powertrain and suspension tuning, as well as a raft of upscale features. Its 200-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder is shared with the Civic Si, as is the six-speed manual transmission. Buyers not interested in a clutch pedal get a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) instead, which isn't offered in the Civic Si at all.

Edmunds spotlight: Upside-down pricing

Opposite from the pricing of nearly every other vehicle to offer a manual transmission, the stick is the more expensive option in the Integra — and it's a lot more expensive. But Acura isn't exploiting its enthusiast drivers. Opting for the manual also nets buyers the A-Spec and Technology packages, which include features from an adaptive suspension and larger wheels to a larger touchscreen and premium audio system. Accounting for the cost of these two packages, the manual is technically a no-cost option. Our Expert Rating, below, offers all the details.

Competitors to consider

Its positioning at the bottom of the Acura lineup appears to line the Integra up against cars like the Audi A3, BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes-Benz CLA, which it undercuts significantly in price. But the Integra's size is closer to that of the A4, 3 Series and C-Class, extending the value play. But the cost question cuts both ways, as the Integra struggles to justify its premium against the mechanically similar and more fun-to-drive Honda Civic Si. The 320-hp Integra Type S, which we review separately, is vastly more expensive than the base Integra but gives the compact hatchback a much-needed dose of personality.

Which Integra trim does Edmunds recommend?

The A-Spec with Technology package adds value beyond its cost in the form of both performance and tech features and is what we recommend. However, if it's performance you're after, the Type S is in an entirely different league, and it's worth the extra money.

Acura Integra models

The 2025 Acura Integra is a four-door hatchback that is available in four trim levels: Base, A-Spec, A-Spec with Technology package and Type S. The Base and A-Spec versions are powered by a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine (200 horsepower, 192 lb-ft of torque) that is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that drives the front wheels. A six-speed manual transmission is optional on the A-Spec with the Technology package. The performance-focused Type S swaps out that powertrain for a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (320 hp, 310 lb-ft) and a standard six-speed manual transmission. An automatic isn't offered on the Type S. Keep reading for our editors' breakdown of the Integra's significant features.

Goldilocks would love the Integra, it's just right

Chad H., 01/08/2024

2024 Acura Integra 4dr Hatchback w/A-Spec and Technology Packages (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I'm in my 50's and I've done the go fast sports cars that have harsh rides and shift it yourself transmissions. I wasn't quite ready to dig up a good used Lincoln Town Car as I still wanted something playful and fun to drive that was also comfortable and got great fuel mileage. Ah! The Honda Civic would fit the bill...and I love the practicality of a hatchback...oh look...Honda makes … the Civic in a hatchback. Oooh...and it has a Bose stereo. Nice. Hey Mr. Honda Salesperson...what's your best price on that Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. Huh? What do you mean MSRP of $37,000? I thought they were $33,000 MSRP, and I'm expecting a deal. Huh? Protection package? Market adjustment? Window tint? Lojack? But I don't want those things? What? They can't be removed? Can you sell me one that doesn't have all those additions? Oh, you don't have any that haven't been accessorized. Gotcha. Same day at the Acura dealer. Mr. Acura salesman, how much is this car? Oh..sticker price of $38,000. Ok. It has really nice red suede seats with adjustable lumbar. WHOA! This 16 speaker stereo blows the Bose in the Civic away. This electronically adjustable suspension is nice too. You sure you can't make me a deal? Oh? You have a CPO with 4500 miles on it...and it has an extended warranty to 100,000 miles? Really? How much? $36,000. No add ons? No "market adjustments"? Wow! Complementary loaner cars from the service department? Cool! You're tossing in complimentary all weather mats and 3 years of AcuraLink too? Thank you! Anyone who says the Integra is just an expensive Civic hasn't shopped the two cars. I have multiple Honda dealers in my area and ALL of them were marking up the Civic Hatchback almost to what an Integra costs. Having driven both, I can tell you the Integra is a much nicer car and the dealer experience is light years better. I really love my Integra. It's exactly what I wanted. Really fun to drive, rides nice...but not too nice. Still very engaging to drive. The CVT doesn't suck. Yes, I said it. I actually like it. No hunting for gears or constant shifting. Always seems to be giving me what I want when I want it. If you want "gears" it will emulate a 7 speed transmission with the paddles. And it "shifts" pretty quickly. It's fun to hustle it down a twisty back road. No...it's not "fast". It's got adequate power. Doesn't feel slow. Little 1.5L turbo is a torquey engine. It never struggles and you can hit triple digits faster than you think. It's not winning any races, but that's not what it's designed for...want that? Get the Type S. Oh...and I'm getting about 34mpg in mixed driving and can get nearly 40mpg on interstate trips at 70mph. The seats are very comfy. There is plenty of room. The hatchback is wonderful even if the lift over is a little higher than it should be...I don't really mind it as I'm tall. If you're looking at a high spec Civic. Stop by a few Honda dealers and try to work a deal...then go see your local Acura dealer (if you have one) and you will have a completely different experience. ***UPDATE 7/8/24*** 7 months into ownership and about 10,000 miles and the car is still a joy to own. I did have one issue. The steering rack needed to be replaced as it developed a notchy/sticky feeling. It's a known issue and my dealer got me squared away quickly. No other issues. Car is getting excellent fuel mileage. If I drive it easy, I can see up to 41mpg. Mixed driving without hypermiling, I'm getting about 35mpg. That's excellent!

Fits my needs for the price

2023 Acura Integra 4dr Hatchback w/A-Spec and Technology Packages (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Many of you will dislike this vehicle because of the price point. Is it an upscale civic? Well yes, which is not necessarily a bad thing for me. I had 2 civic si in the past (8th gen/10th gen) and loved both cars. I don't really do much upgrades enthusiast wise other than intakes and minor bolt ons. Integra I'm quite happy with it stock. I'm at the age where I'm not speeding 75 mph …

This one is just right.

2023 Acura Integra 4dr Hatchback w/A-Spec Package (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Finally, I bought a car with a red interior! I've always wanted one and, well, I made it happen. Originally I was interested in the A-Spec Tech M/T but they are hard to come by in NE Ohio. It would take weeks to wait for one and, I assume, would require me to pay full MSRP. But the night before I bought it I test drove a 2023 WRX Limited with M/T, my second choice. After ten minutes …

Fun car….but!

First time Acura buyer, 12/26/2022

2023 Acura Integra 4dr Hatchback w/A-Spec and Technology Packages (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

The car is a really fun car to drive! It’s packed with a ton of tech compared to my previous sedan. The red interior is super sharp and very comfortable. I’m giving three stars due to the fact that my car is having two fairly big issues. The first one involves the fuel tank filler neck. The car is throwing a code indicating a malfunction with the fuel evaporation sensing component in …
