The Honda Integra nameplate has gained a following and fame for its sporty proposition, making the Civic look mainstream in comparison. Born in 1985, the first-generation Integra came as a coupe, sedan or liftback, and included the much-desirable pop-up headlamps. Badged as an Acura in the United States, this generation of Integra was also sold as the Rover 416i in Australia. It came with powerful engines and manual or automatic transmissions.
The second generation Integra was introduced in 1989, as a hatchback coupe or four-door hardtop with frameless doors. This was the first time that the hallowed VTEC powerplants would be seen on the Integra, developing up to 168 horsepower in the XSi, and revving to 8,200rpm. Then, the third generation dropped in 1993, and brought with it the first Type R variant. The 1.8L DOHC VTEC engine made 197 horsepower at 8,000rpm, with a rev limiter as high as 8,700rpm for US market models. Motor Trend timed the US market Integra Type R at just 6.2 seconds in the 0-60 benchmark. Meanwhile, some lesser variants offered an optional four-wheel-drive system using Honda’s Real Time 4WD system.
The fourth generation Integra was introduced in 2001, and the Type R brought a larger K20A engine. Now making 220 horsepower thanks to Honda’s then-new i-VTEC system, it also included a six-speed manual transmission. Zero to sixty could now be achieved in less than 6 seconds by a skilled driver. Sadly, this was to be the last Integra…or was it?
In 2021, Honda announced that the Integra would be making a return, as the Acura Integra. A five-door liftback, it’s only sold in North America for the time being, and includes a 200 horsepower turbocharged VTEC engine. However, the Integra nameplate is also used in China, on the domestically assembled variant of the eleventh-generation Civic.
