If you are torn between the versatile Integra Base and the track-ready Integra Type S, here is how these two configurations compare.

Performance

Providing plenty of excitement for any driver, the Integra Base features a responsive 1.5-liter, VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This powerplant yields 200 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, utilizing a smooth-shifting CVT to power the front-wheel drive assembly.

The Integra Type S is engineered for those who crave maximum power. Under the hood is an exhilarating 2.0-liter, VTEC turbocharged four-cylinder engine tuned to deliver 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired exclusively with a close-ratio, six-speed manual gearbox for ultimate control. To handle the increased output, the Type S is outfitted with a specialized Dual-Axis Strut front suspension, a limited-slip front differential, and high-performance Brembo front brakes.

Appearance

The design of the Integra ensures it stands out in any environment. Even in its base form, the sporty liftback silhouette provides a striking look while enhancing the vehicle's everyday versatility. The front fascia is defined by a frameless Diamond Pentagon Grille and Jewel LED headlights, complemented by 17-inch alloy wheels that emphasize its agile nature.

For a more formidable presence, the Integra Type S incorporates several race-inspired exterior upgrades. Its stance is widened by bold fender flares, and the rear is distinguished by a unique triple exhaust system. Functional design changes, such as enlarged front air intakes and 19-inch alloy wheels with performance-grade tires, reflect its high-output capabilities.

Features

Inside the Integra Base, you will find a cabin filled with high-tech hardware. The infotainment setup includes a 7.0-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® for seamless smartphone connectivity. The interior is further enhanced by leatherette-trimmed upholstery, an eight-speaker sound system, and a 10.2-inch Acura Precision Cockpit. Every model also provides peace of mind through the AcuraWatch safety system. 

The Integra Type S adds several premium upgrades to the interior environment. Music lovers will gravitate toward the immersive ELS Studio premium audio system, while the integrated head-up display keeps speed and navigation data always within your line of sight.
