The year 2022 was a very productive year for Acura. Among other things, the manufacturer received the prestigious award given to the 10 best engines and propulsion systems by the American magazine Ward’s Autoworld, granted to the 2023 Acura Integra.
In addition to several awards, Acura cars have been innovative on several points. You will find here many details about Acura, such as the prices of certain models as well as some notes on the future of the brand.
Thanks to its turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, amplified by Acura VTEC® technology, which produces 200 horsepower, the 2023 Acura Integra has earned an award from Ward’s Autoworld magazine. The award is officially known as Ward’s 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems.
WardsAuto, the organization responsible for publishing Ward’s Autoworld, has been since 1924 a leader in automotive research and information.
This award is conferred to the 10 vehicles that offer the best balance of several criteria, such as:
Power
Torque
Fuel economy
Engine noise and vibration (NVH Management)
Ward’s 10 Best Engines and Propulsion Systems is an award that stands out, among other things, for its longevity, having been awarded every year since 1994.
It is a prestigious award from an organization that has proven itself through years of service in the field of automotive media coverage.
It is a proof to the success of Integra’s comeback, which was revived last year after a 16-year absence.
In addition to its renowned engine, the Acura interior of this 2023 Integra model offers modern comforts, including a 9-inch touchscreen and wireless charging for smartphones.
If Ward’s award draws attention, it’s also important to note that Acura has a good list of vehicles that have earned the highest possible safety rating given by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This rating is officially presented as TOP SAFETY PICK+, by the Institute.
In addition to the Integra, several other models are also on this list, such as the Acura SUV MDX and RDX, or the luxurious TLX.
This award is, among other things, given for the manufacturer’s new systems, such as AcuraWatch™, which is composed of a range of technology aimed at improving safety for the driver and passengers of the vehicle.
In order to be awarded this title, a vehicle must stand out on several fronts, such as front crash prevention systems and a good score in several crash tests.
So, it is clear that the manufacturer takes great care to ensure that its vehicles have cutting-edge technologies in terms of safety.
