We have some additional information on the all-new 2024 Acura Integra Type S, which should arrive on our roads this summer. The Japanese manufacturer has finally confirmed the engine performance of its new sedan.
Acura Laval keeps you up to date on everything there is to know about the Integra Type S, including the new information available on its powerful turbo engine.
Even More Impressive Performance than the Honda Civic Type R
The engine inside the Acura Integra Type S will be a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder, borrowed from the Civic Type R.
The manufacturer recently confirmed that the engine found under the hood of the Type S will be more powerful than the one inside its cousin at Honda.
In fact, the Integra Type S engine will develop 320 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
In addition to this newly revealed power, here are a few things we already knew about the Type S performance:
It uses an exclusive six-speed manual transmission
It runs on a front-wheel drive
Brembo brakes are included to ensure more control
The Integra Type S will offer a very sporty performance. It should be one of the most interesting luxury sedans for performance enthusiasts.
Advantages of the Acura Integra Type S Interior
The benefits of choosing an Integra Type S are not only in its performance. When shopping for this sedan, you’re also shopping for all the benefits that come with Acura vehicles.
Of the four Acura models on the market in 2023, three, including the Integra, have received the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. It would not be surprising if the Type S received a similar rating.
These excellent safety measures don’t come at the cost of your comfort. The Integra Type S offers several interior design elements such as:
16-speaker ELS Studio premium sound system
Wireless compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
LED ambient lighting
Ultrasuede front seats with exclusive stitching
12-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support
And many more features!
Thanks to a comfortable and modern interior, you’ll enjoy the full power of the Type S.
The 2024 Acura Integra Type S Driving Experience
A number of automotive journalists have already had the pleasure of testing the Acura Integra Type S. These tests took place at Honda’s Tochigi testing
grounds.
The Acura Integra Type S driving experience reviews are very good. For example, the Wheels section team of the Toronto Star wrote:
“The car was electronically limited (for our test) to 200 km/h but it was enough to feel its rock-solid stability at that speed.”
It’s easy to get impatient when you read a lot of good news. Fortunately, we won’t have to wait much longer.
What We Learned at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach
The 48th annual Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach took place April 14-16, 2023. To celebrate this occasion, the Japanese manufacturer finally unveiled the
Acura Integra Type S in all its glory. We now know that this high-performance sedan will arrive on our roads in June 2023.
As for the price, we’ll have to wait a little longer, since the manufacturer didn’t announce the price of its new vehicle at the time of the big unveiling.
To help you get an idea, the Acura Integra prices range from $36,825 to $45,025.
Consequently, we expect that the price of the Acura Integra Type S could be around $50,000.
