After an underwhelming prototype debut in late 2021, Acura has fully revealed the production-spec 2023 Integra, giving us a proper look inside the cabin of this 200-hp, turbocharged four-door. For those who grew up with the original Integra and Type R, the new car’s Civic-adjacent styling hasn’t hit the same nostalgic nerve. But inside, Acura counters with class-leading tech, better materials, and a layout designed to elevate the Integra above mainstream compacts. Let’s take a closer look.

A-Spec Package: Sportier Styling, Subtle Luxury
Acura leans heavily on the A-Spec sport appearance package to separate the Integra interior from its Honda roots. The upgrade brings stainless steel pedals, red gauge needles, contrast stitching on the wheel, seats, and shifter, and small touches of sportiness that help elevate the cabin.
Overall, the 2023 Acura Integra interior is pretty conservative and lacks any real excitement for a car that had such an impact before it was discontinued over 20 years ago.
Even without A-Spec, materials feel a notch above Civic grade. Piano-black trim around the vents mimics the Integra’s mesh grille pattern, and slimmer pillars improve outward visibility. Door-mounted mirrors also help reduce blind spots.
Seating & Comfort
The rear seats offer a 60/40 split-fold design for extra cargo flexibility — a helpful feature in a segment where practicality matters. Acura claims “generous legroom” for rear passengers; while marketing-speak aside, the space is decent for adults on short trips. For those who want a more premium seating experience, the Technology Package adds:
- Microsuede inserts
- 12-way power driver’s seat with lumbar
- 4-way power passenger seat
Standard models still get an 8-way power driver seat, heated synthetic-leather upholstery, and a choice of black, red, or Orchid color themes.
Tech & Infotainment: Where the Integra Stands Out
Acura clearly designed the new Integra for connected drivers. Standard equipment includes:
- A 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster
- A 7-inch touchscreen with wired CarPlay and Android Auto
Opt for the Technology Package and the touchscreen grows to 9 inches with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, plus:
- Alexa Built-In
- Qi wireless charging
- 5.3-inch Head-Up Display
- Extra USB ports (front + rear)
The standard 8-speaker system is fine, but the available 16-speaker ELS Studio 3D setup — with overhead speakers — is a real upgrade and one of the strongest audio options in the segment.
A-Spec With Technology Package Adds:
- Microsuede seat inserts
- Power moonroof
- Individual drive mode
- Ambient LED interior lighting
- Wireless charging pad
- 16-speaker ELS 3D audio
- Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto
- Power-adjustable front seats
Takeaway
Despite the new Integra’s styling shortcomings, the interior offers everything you’d expect from a luxury sedan. Acura blends the sporty-premium without going to overboard, where the A-Spec package improves things even more, like those stainless steel pedals and contrasting stitch work. Again, you’ll see the A-Spec with the Technology Package (yes, a package on a package) upgrade as well to really see major interior improvements — from the better 16-speaker premium audio to the significantly improved front seats.
Overall, the 2023 Acura Integra interior is pretty conservative and lacks any real excitement for a car that had such an impact before it was discontinued over 20 years ago. But that’s how Japanese automakers are rolling these days, building vehicles with splashy debuts that arguably fall short of most people’s expectations. Nevertheless, time will tell whether the new Integra is well received, and hopefully, they won’t butcher a possible Integra Type R variant.
