One thing we’ve been curious about the new 2023 Integra is what it looks like inside, as Acura had the near-production prototype’s cabin hidden behind blacked out windows during the presentation last year. Now, thanks to IG user user derphound01 who originally shared a few photos with a user of the IntegraForums before providing the full set to us today, we have our very first look inside the pre-production model, though they might come away as a bit disappointing to some who were excited to see a more premium Integra.
That’s because it’s a bit too similar to the Civic from the
angles we’re seeing here. The dash does have some stylistic changes though like
hard edges and angles sloping into the asymmetrical center console. The door
pockets don’t look as large and the center infotainment system seems ever so
slightly better integrated than in the Honda.
The long but mostly fake climate vent on the dash of the
Civic is gone for a more straightforward pair of vents. Nevertheless, this
doesn’t look like the pseudo-luxury treatment that many have come to expect
from Acura. The back seat looks like it could’ve come out of any random sedan
on sale today. It’s possible too that we’re far enough out from production that
we might not be looking at the final product.
After all, there’s still a lot left to be revealed about the
Integra including just what kind of power it will make in base form. We know
it’ll use the same 1.5-liter tubocharged four-cylinder from the Civic Si, in
which it makes 200 hp and 260 Nm of torque, but many are hoping
that it’ll pack a few more ponies under the bonnet. We also don’t know how many
trim levels there will be or which one of them might apply to the interior
we’re seeing here.
